This was my first trip to Atlanta and it was a great experience. I was there on business for 3 nights and was working in midtown, so this was an ideal location. The suites are spacious, clean and comfortable and the view facing downtown is quite nice. The hotel is walking distance to many restaurants and bars and not too far from shopping via MARTA (subway system). The staff were courteous and professional and the room service quality quite good. If you're staying in midtown Atlanta, it would be hard to find a nicer place.

I've just stayed at this hotel for 3 nights. Like many other reviewers, I chose it because of the locaton (proximity to the training site and MARTA train).

My room was very clean, but the decor not as eye-pleasing as I've seen in other Marriott locations. Mismatched furniture and bleak colors made the room look rather sad. Bathroom included separate tub and shower, but cheap countertop and fixtures and tacky wallpaper made me feel like I'm in a hospital or some kind of institution. Shower cabin was on the small side - I'm an average size 10 and was constantly hitting the walls trying to manoeuvre inside.

The room was very quiet - I haven't heard any outside noise whatsoever.

Housekeeping was so-so. One day my unread newspapers disappeared (I left them on the desk to read later), another day I got 2 shampoos but no conditioner and less towels. One trash bin was never emptied.

Large whirlpool was fantastic, with no strong chlorine smell. The pool, although quite large, was only 3 feet deep all over.

On my arrival staff at the front desk was rather indifferent and not very welcoming, but from next morning forward everyone was very warm and friendly. I'd rate this hotel at 3/average but have to give an extra point for the great staff.

Internet is not free but you also get unlimited long-distance calls with it. This was a nice bonus since I didn't have to spend my cell phone minutes to call home.

Food in the hotel's restaurant is too expensive and not that good for the price, athough the service was great. There are many dining options nearby - South City Kitchen and Spanish tapas restaurant Fuego are literally around the corner and many restaurants are a short walk away. Thai bistro Tamarind Seed on Peachtree St. 2 blocks away was simply superb.

Stayed a Thurs and Friday night. Rate included breakfast and parking. Paying for parking and/or breakfast would have been kind of expensive, but not unusual for a "downtown-ish" hotel.

All suites, nice room. It has the great Marriott updated bedding.

Internet access in the room is not free. I've come to expect free internet access, but I realize that many of the bigger markets do not offer it free...because they can apparently charge for it.

1.5 blocks from MARTA-Arts Center Station. One block from Crescent St which has plenty of dining options within walking distance. Easy MARTA ride to downtown for business or tourist stuff.

Right next door to Four Seasons. Einsteins Bagels and Starbucks next door for coffee/breakfast options.

It's on the north end of Midtown area so it's a bit far from Fox Theater to easily walk.

I had a conference at the Four Seasons next door. They were full so
I stayed here. It was cheaper. The "suites" were average. The bathrooms are dark and look like they haven't been updated in 20 years. The furniture is cheap and uncomfortable. The staff are friendly. Overall there wasn't anything bad about the hotel - there just wasn't really anything good about it either. There are lots of hotels in Atlanta - I don't know why you'd stay here unless you just really need to be in this location.
