Holiday Inn Express & Suites - Atlanta Downtown by IHG offers a central, walkable base with friendly staff, praised free breakfast, and clean yet compact rooms, but recurring complaints cite valet-only parking costs, tiny elevators, and occasional odor issues.

Rooms and bathrooms run small, and some interior rooms lack exterior windows or feel stuffy.

Property was exactly what you should expect in that price range. They were renovating the security system in the main floors while we were there, but noise and inconvenience from that was kept to a minimum. It was just a place to sleep while we were there, and it was perfect for that. The valet system was super convenient. I could call for my car via a link that was texted to me, that way it was ready at the front door by the time I got to the lobby. Staff was helpful and professional.

The main reason this hotel didn't get 5 stars from me is because of the valet service. First they left my car parked in front of the hotel for hours after we had dropped off our keys and the only reason it got parked was because I needed something from it and realized it was still on the street. Checking out, it took them quite a while to find my car keys then even longer to actually locate my car. The valet was gone for about 15-20 minutes before returning breathless stating she thought she heard my alarm beep when she pressed the key fob but never could find the car so the front desk person had to go find it and bring it down. There was a huge concert that night so I tried giving them a little grace but there has to be a better system of tagging keys and notating parking locations. Other than that the hotel was clean and had a really great breakfast!

Very disappointing .

I don't know where these great reviews are coming from. Other than the staff, EVERYTHING about this hotel is terrible. There is a stench of mildew and old cigarette. The paint was peeling off the ceiling. There is no sound insulation. I could hear conversations on the street and people having adult fun in the rooms. There was some sort of loud cat convention that lasted to about 2am. I wouldn't walk the neighborhood with security. The elevator is barely big enough to fit 1 person and 2 suitcases. I booked 3 nights and moved to a new hotel after night 1.

Windows are tinted in so there’s absolutely no view of outside (at least my room was). No vending machines so make sure you bring/buy water from somewhere. Some things were just patched up and it wasn’t a good look on a couple things. Free breakfast wasn’t bad at all. Definitely a plus that it was complimentary. In terms of the area - Extremely inconvenient parking situation so try to make sure everything is walking distance. Not the nicest area but then again, it’s downtown Atlanta so don’t expect something else. Get used to the smell of Marijuana in the area and people asking you for money. There are some really cool things around that are close walking distance like the aquarium, Coca Cola museum, Olympic park, wide variety of restaurants, and NFL stadium. Overall a 3/5 stay but keep in mind you get what you pay for. If you want a nicer experience there’s nicer hotels available close by.

A good, basic hotel if you just need a clean room and bed in a central location. Everything is kind of cramped - rooms, elevators, even the breakfast serving area (though there is a good amount of seating). But the staff worked hard to keep the food stocked, the room was clean, and the beds were actually comfortable. Surprisingly quiet for being downtown. If you're going to be spending much time in the hotel, I'd suggest looking elsewhere. But if you just need an affordable home base, it's a solid option.

Rooms were really tiny. Rooms had no clock, table, or chairs. Elevators were really really small. One was out of order. I often spent about 10 to 15 minutes waiting on an Elevator with enough room for my daughter and i to get on. Valet service was really slow even when it wasnt busy. I would get a text saying your car is on the way and to head to the front door just to see the guy with my keys in his hand pass me to go get the car then its a 15 minute wait on top of the time it took for you to get the text. Staff was really polite and helpful. They saved the whole stay.

I will start by saying that the staff was very nice and worked hard to get us a room for early check in, but personally I would not stay at this hotel again. The rooms are extremely small and the bathrooms were even worse! I could barely turn around in it! Another major complaint was they don’t have a full length mirror anywhere in the room, I was very annoyed by this. We were attending the Beyonce concert and we couldn’t even look at our outfits until we got to the stadium. The breakfast was good and had a lot of options, the location is pretty good too, in the heart of downtown. Just about a 15-20 min walk to the Mercedes Benz stadium. Again, if you are not worried about space then it’s a sufficient basic hotel and should work for you. But I like to have my space so it was awful. Also, the air in the lobby was broken then entire time and it was so hot everytime we walked in.

Overall, we liked our stay at this property. The price is reasonable for the quality of the hotel. The property, especially our room, was clean. The location is close to everything downtown, although we found limited dining options. The included breakfast was great for the value. My main issue was with the staff. It took them forever to manage all the guests in line, mostly because they took personal phone calls while checking guests in. Also, the price of valet is ridiculous. The directions for valet were unclear and it took a while for them to bring us our car. I recommend parking in one of the many nearby parking garages for much cheaper.

The hotel needs alot of updating and maintenance, it looked very rundown. There weren’t enough staff members working to assist guests. When it was time to leave, I used the link to request our car from valet. The girl at the desk told us she was the only one working. So, my husband had to go get our car. While in the lobby two other guests were having issues with their rooms. One had pictures of bugs they she found in her room and the other had no AC in their room. We stayed here due to its proximity to Mercedes Benz Stadium, but we definitely would find a different hotel next time.

I had a very disappointing experience during my recent stay at this hotel. I specifically requested connecting or side-by-side rooms when booking and even followed up with a phone call to confirm this, as we were traveling with children. Despite all efforts, we were given separate rooms far apart, which made our stay unnecessarily stressful. To make matters worse, our room wasn’t ready at check-in, and when we finally got in, the TV wasn’t working and was awkwardly tilted, making it unusable. The most frustrating part was the attitude of the front desk staff during check-in. The person who assisted us was unhelpful, indifferent, and showed no willingness to resolve any of the issues we raised. Overall, this stay reflected a serious lack of organization, customer care, and attention to detail. I expected better and would strongly advise others to consider alternatives if you’re looking for a reliable and family-friendly stay.

It was walking distance to GA Aquarium which is what we were there for. So that was super convenient. For nice places to eat we took Uber to Buckhead. Nothing around the hotel, don’t bother, go to Buckhead. You will live all the dining options.

This was our first time in Atlanta, so we weren’t sure what to expect. We felt very unsafe - there were multiple homeless people approaching us for money every time we set foot out of the hotel. One even threatened physical harm. The building is old and not in the greatest of shape. Our shower drain did not work properly, but we managed. I definitely wouldn’t stay here again.

The breakfast included a variety of selections, was fresh, tasted good, and they have a coffee grinder that grinds each cup of coffee as you make it. We had a very nice and comfortable stay.

The entire staff at this hotel were the best! they were friendly and very accommodating. The breakfast was the best I ever had in any hotel. It had a nice variety of hot and cold food. The problem I had was with the room. It was very clean but with two queen beds, there was no room for any chair, so we had to sit on the beds and they were so high, that it was a problem to get on to them. Obviously, the room was originally made to have one bed and then there would be room for a table and two chairs. This room was just too crowded.
