My family stayed here for a night while in the atlanta area and found this hotel to be excellent. The interior is beautiful, the beds were extremely comfortable, room service was excellent, overall great value. I've stayed at many Marriotts and this one was one of my top 3.

Stayed for 3 nights mid July on business. Location is the best, with very easy access from the 400 and loads of parking space. The lobby is palatial and check-in was simplicity itself. The room was spotless and ticked all the boxes once I'd walked along seemingly miles of corridors; the view from the 2nd floor was over a roof & vents but this didn't matter for a business trip.
The bar conveniently offered good food & drink until late, but was perhaps a little small & cramped for the size of the hotel. However, the bar staff were attentive and we didn't go thirsty!
Breakfast was a little over-formal and disappointing for the money, and whilst the dinner menu was good the restaurant was empty so there was little atmosphere, thus we also ate out.
All in all it's relatively expensive but much better than the local alternatives at which I've stayed on occasions and is just so convenient.

My husband and I just got back from a weekend in Alpharetta where we were attending a family function. I found this hotel online and it was an excellent choice. The rooms were bright and sunny and very clean. Bathroom was also very clean and spacious. Parking was right in front of the hotel and the Sunday buffet breakfast was very good.

This hotel is conveniently located right off GA 400, but web directions into the property were a little confusing. You may want to call the hotel for better directions. Staff was extremely helpful with any kind of directions needed into downtown Atlanta. To get around this part of the city, a rental car is a must.

The only thing I can say is to make sure where in Alpharetta you want to stay. The family functions we were attending were two exits away which were also exits for Alpharetta. Alpharetta is very big and spread out and very confusing to get around at first. But, this turned out to be an excellent choice for a weekend stay and close to all major roads and hiways. Even though it was further away, it was still easy to get around once we mastered the maps.

We are from Tampa, FL and visit Atlanta often. We debated staying in Alpharetta due to the distance away from Atlanta. Being right off of GA 400 this hotel is quite a drive from downtown Atlanta however close to the North Point Mall and several restaurants. We visited Lake Lanier Islands and the N Georgia Premium outlets which were only about 30 minutes away. Our last stay in downtown Atlanta at the Marriott Marquis 8/2006 was dreadful. The Marriott Alpharetta was simply a flawless stay. Downtown Atlanta doesn't have much to offer at night, other than Hard Rock Cafe and who wants to hassle with valet parking. The Marriott Alpharetta however offers free self parking. The hotel exceeded our expectations. We booked a King Room with breakfast included (either in room or hotel restaurant) through Marriott.com. Being Marriott Rewards/Elite Members we expect each stay to be perfect which this one was. The breakfast buffet was wonderful. Overall, very nice hotel, clean rooms and a very comfortable bed.
