Bathroom
87Nothing quotable yet on this one — the score leans on the rest of the coverage.
Food
89- “A HUGE perk for us was The City View Room, located within the hotel. The breakfast was SO GOOD and I loved that kids eat free.” 8
- “Intentionally booking a hotel with a restaurant as an amenity because I would be driving all day and didn't want to get back in the car to find dinner after checking in is not a "minor" inconvenience in my eyes.” 10
Location
94- “The staff was great, very comfortable beds, perfect location.” 1
- “I also liked how the location of the hotel was remarkably convenient and I had easy access to downtown and all that it had to offer in terms of shops, restaurants, shows and places like Centinnel Park, Georgia Aquarium and World of CocaCola!” 14
Noise
89Room
85- “We took the elevator up and walked to the end of the hallway where we were greeted by a floor to ceiling window, overlooking downtown Atlanta. While the girls are usually in a hurry to get into a hotel room when we first arrive at any hotel, they stopped to admire the view and took lots of pictures. It was breathtaking.” 8
- “The room was the perfect size. 2 very comfortable beds, a large flat screen tv, a comfy chair, a desk, a coffee maker, a microwave and a mini-fridge.” 8
Service
86- “As for the hotel staff, they could not be nicer or more knowledgeable! They were able to help me whether my question was about something in the hotel or about the surrounding sights and attractions. Wonderful people to be sure.” 14
- “He was really very helpful and made sure we knew where everything was and what we should try to see while we were in town. He definitely made us feel welcome and took the time to make sure we had everything we needed. It's personalized service like that, that confirmed our choice of hotel.” 8
Bed & Sleep
82Nothing quotable yet on this one — the score leans on the rest of the coverage.

- “I had a very comfortable room that had a soothing aroma to it. It was not cluttered or even that small for the modest price that I paid.” 14
