Wyndham appears to be in the process of taking over all the Wingate properties. I've stayed at several Wingates and this one is by far the best I've stayed at so far. The staff is very friendly. They greet you when you enter and leave. The rooms are nicely appointed and you get nearly all the amenities of an upscale hotel. Breakfasts include cooked to order omelets and waffles. Coffee and tea is available throughout the day as well as fresh fruit. There are no hidden fees. Fax, phone, printer, high speed internet is all included with your stay. A real plus here is that there is a complimentary shuttle available to take you where you need to go. Impossible to believe you get all of this for such a reasonable price. Be aware that many hotels in the Buckhead neighborhood charge for on-site parking. At Wingate it is free. Yes, I'll indeed be back.

I wanted to let you know how pleased everyone was with the Wingate. The facility as well as the employees was fantastic. You help me plan a wedding weekend for all the wedding party.

Everyone was so complimentary of how wonderful the “customer service” was. I have gotten many kudos for finding you. I just found you, Wingate employees deserve the kudos. Thank you so much for such a grand experience.

My fiancee and I stayed at the Wingate Buckhead from Saturday until Friday since I needed to be in the Atlanta area for business. The location of the hotel was decent, without too much that you could walk to easily, but a park that you could run to, and very close for driving to anything. It was also very easy to get on GA-400 for my drive to work every morning.

The car service was very convenient for my fiancee as I would be at work with the rental car all day, and it would allow her to do some shopping at Lennox Square or other locations very easily, and the drivers were very friendly. She was also able to walk to get lunch or coffee, but it was a longer walk than most people would want to deal with. The hotel gym, while small, was also in full working order (a rarity in hotels I find), the breakfast bar had a good selection of items and a nice, automated espresso machine, and it had a nice business center with printers available to use (though a computer on the hotel network kept trying to infect my PC with a virus, which I worry could be one of the hotel computers as they had no anti-virus software installed on them).

However, there were a few problems with the hotel. The worst case happened on Sunday morning, which was the day we lost an hour due to Daylight Savings Time. We got a late start on our weekend run and went out to the Silver Comet Trail (very nice place for running or biking), did our 12 miles, and came back to the hotel. We went to shower (right around noon, due to the late start) and there was no water pressure. After calling the front desk, the woman informed us that, yes, there was no hot water in the hotel right now, and wouldn't be for a couple of hours at least. I asked if they were going to tell us this, and she said they were just starting to call people now (after turning it off, but not before), and if there was another option available to us (a local gym, for example). I was told there was no option, that it would be back in a few hours. Well, this was our main weekend day to spend in Atlanta, and we obviously didn't smell too good after that run, so it was a huge issue for us that they seemed to make no attempt to solve. Water was not restored until around 6:30 PM, which would have been too late to go almost anywhere on a Sunday (we wound up washing ourselves down with cold water and washcloths, and using lots of deodorant).

In addition, the windows if you are facing the main road are not very sound dampening, so you can hear the traffic along the busy road very well, even with the curtain closed. The door to the room had a lot of space between the floor and the door, so sound in the hallway would easily come into the room and disturb you. There was also a lot of noise from the pipes when your neighbors would use the water as well.

In conclusion, for the Buckhead area, the hotel is probably a pretty good value, but I would try a different hotel in the future if I was there due to these issues.

A colleague and I stayed for 1 night on business. The rooms are just about perfectly designed & appointed for comfort and getting work done. My landline phone didn't work but there was also a cordless. The free limo service within 3 miles was very helpful, although you can't book in advance and should allow plenty of time in case you have to wait for a driver. The hotel is close to the Buckhead MARTA station, so you can take MARTA from the airport and then call the hotel for pickup. Again, we waited 20-30 minutes average each time we needed a ride, but fortunately were not on a tight timeline. The staff was very friendly, and I appreciated the complimentary full breakfast and free WiFi as much for the quick convenience as for the cost savings. WiFi was very slow in our rooms at times.

Overall, a fine stay and far superior in all respects (except location) to the Hilton Atlanta, where we had to move for business reasons for the remainder of our stay.

The neighborhood around the Wingate is more busy streets than pedestrian-friendly. Good thing there's a driver because there is little or nothing within walking distance, and not a pleasant walk. But our purpose was to stay someplace conducive to rest and work, and this was perfect.
