- “enjoy Southern cuisine and our on-site restaurant Glens kitchen we serve delectable breakfast lunch and dinner options that showcase traditional southern recipes with modern Flair” On camera15:17
- “Little nibbles such as bacon-wrapped dates are delicious, and the Tuscan kale salad with blue cheese and Georgia apples makes a delightful and healthy little meal.” 13
- “Breakfast at restaurant was delicious, but no one checked on us throughout our meal.” 2
- “Despite staying in an Autograph Collection branded hotel, I was disappointed to find only a basic CV1 coffee machine with Starbucks coffee available.” 9
- “Meanwhile, the SkyLounge is a rooftop bar that offers shareable plates, an extensive drink menu, and incredible city views.” 18
- “Well-designed rooms, terrific food and drinks, awesome location-expect to fall in love with this nontraditional Buckhead stay.” 13
- “Like most hotel restaurants in Atlanta, the one at the Glenn (Glenn's Kitchen) is only worth trying if you're pressed for time. The shrimp and grits are fine enough, but in this food-focused city, this restaurant isn't really a place you want to waste a meal on.” 13
- “The stay at this trendy hotel was an awesome one. New building, updated rooms and GREAT restaurant.” 17
- “Restaurant in hotel was excellent and the pool area was nice.” 17
- “Hostess was very sweet and the gentleman who brought out our food was great, waitress was completely absent for the hour and 30 min we were there. No coffee or water refills, had to track her down for check.” 2
- “Situated in the heart of downtown, the Glenn Hotel offers modern accommodations, divine dining, first-rate amenities, and easy access to many of the city's most famous attractions.” 18
- “A work desk had to be scaled down to fit in the corner, and the minuscule nature of the work desk, unfortunately, didn't offer much space.” 9
- “Fairly large suite and soft bed. Sandy beach nearby, that was what I loved.” 17
- “Rooms are a little small, which doesn't really matter if you're enjoying the city. I'll probably go with a room that has a King bed in it next time....” 2
- “The Glenn Hotel is home to an array of standard guest rooms and expansive hotel suites, all outfitted with modern decor and comfortable bedding.” 18
- “While I could manage a compact room and subpar amenities, it was the negative demeanor of the front desk representative that left me feeling unwelcome and uncomfortable from the gecko, and at that point, I should've noticed a huge red flag before committing to stay at the Glenn Hotel.” 9
- “Thankfully, a smart TV mounted on the wall was one of the few redeeming features of the room.” 9
- “Not only is the Wi-Fi complimentary (hooray!), but the desk is quite large and the HermanMiller chair is ergonomic.” 13
- “The hotel room was exceptionally small. Although micro hotels are acceptable in places like New York City, this was in Atlanta.” 9
- “Small but comfortable, my Superior King room had a full-sized desk and chair and a bed with crisp white linens.” 13
- “Above the bed hung a decorative mirror with a lion theme, and colorful curtains added a layer of vibrancy to the room.” 9
- “Overall, the room is pretty standard except for one glaring oddity: Inside the shower stall, a large peekaboo window looks into the bedroom, obscured only by a curtain of metal beads. Kind of awkward if you're traveling with your mother-in-law.” 13
- “Loved the king room and the way it was setup.” 17
- “I enjoyed having a playful wallpaper, but while it lifted the general ambiance of the room, the amenities lacked to keep me captivated.” 9
- “Additionally, though I stayed in a city-view room, the view from my window was dreadful as it faced an empty parking lot.” 9
- “As I entered my hotel room, I was taken aback by its compact size. The room barely accommodated a king-sized bed and small nightstands on either side.” 9
- “Although recent guests praise this hotel, they do warn that the Glenn is subject to downtown noise during the night, and note that the housekeeping staff isn't very thorough.” 7
- “"I loved the decor, the staff was VERY friendly and informative. My friend & I booked because it was close to the arena. The food was also really good."” 2
- “Southern charm, historical appeal, and top-notch service - the Glenn Hotel in Atlanta has it all!” 18
- “The same front desk agent refused to take my gift card unless I send her the full 16-digit gift card number to her personal email address and proved that it belonged to me. She added that I could've stolen it or picked it up from the street, and I found her accusatory tone quite inappropriate.” 9
- “Recent guests say that the Glenn's staff members are some of the friendliest in town and can help make your stay as stress-free as possible by providing information on the city's best restaurants and things to do.” 7
- “Everything was good, great service, perfect location close enough to the best tourist destinations and food spots, Philips Arena, the main attractions in Atlanta.” 17
- “It was a really enjoyable stay, interesting place. It was exceptionally clean, the staff was gracious, plus the service was impeccable.” 17
- “The interaction with the front desk was such an uncomfortable experience, and it left me with a sour taste in my mouth from the outset of my stay.” 9
- “The seating area mingled with the hotel bar, providing an enjoyable atmosphere with brass accentuated barstools and countertops. However, the staff's service did not meet the lobby's level of atmosphere.” 9
- “This hotel was good base for exploring Atlanta, loved it. We had queen room with a bathtub, a great view and a great shower for a couple.” 17
- “Bathrooms are straightforward but effective with plush towels, LATHER bath amenities and those without soaking tubs have luxurious rain showers.” 2
- “The walk-in shower had a standard showerhead, and the water pressure wasn't great.” 9

- “Situated in the heart of downtown, the Glenn Hotel offers modern accommodations, divine dining, first-rate amenities, and easy access to many of the city's most famous attractions.” 18
- “And at the very top, they have a sky lounge, so rooftop area. This is located right in the heart of downtown, so there's the Mercedes-Benz Stadium, the State Farm Arena, and Centennial Park.” 8
- “Additionally, there is no need to upgrade to a city-view room as it overlooks an empty parking lot.” 9
- “With its central Buckhead location, famed restaurant and bar, and top-notch spa, this luxury hotel is worth the price.” 13
