The verdict

Who's travelling?

Pick a traveller type to re-weight the scores and re-rank the rooms around what you actually care about.

Read it your way

This property is a downtown Atlanta hotel situated right in the center of the city within easy walking distance of local amenities. Rooms feature comfortable beds, and suites provide convenient extras such as a microwave, mini-fridge, and bar sink. However, standard rooms lack mini-fridges and can feel small with limited seating, while the complimentary breakfast frequently runs out of food before the morning service ends. 37110
