Very clean and staff members are always happy to help with a smile. Breakfast is REAL, hot and yummy with lots of choices. The only bad thing is that the pool (again) wasn't open but staff said it should be good to go in a few more days. Also if you are a light sleeper then you may not want to stay here. The doors make a loud sound when closing and somwtimes you can hear people if they are being a little loud or their dogs are barking.

Clean rooms/buildingand nice showers but highly disappointed with the breakfast options and the fact the pool was not operable. Next time would save $30 and stay next door and spend the 30 on breakfast out.

I recommend this location if you are no-fuss and need a convenient and comfortable stay. Nice gym and pool. Clean, modern design. Bed was comfortable. The only thing is there is not always someone at the front desk.

Good clean rooms and nice staff. Quiet and safe area. A lot diverse restaurants nearby. The only negatives were the pool was closed and not many options for breakfast. Overall good value/quality for what you pay.

Very clean and nice hotel. Excellent fitness center! Great laundry rooms! The pool was not filled, but we were told we could use the pool at the neighboring hotel. We did not plan to use the pool, so we did not mind.

Clean and comfortable night stopover. Would stay here again. Very safe area which was a concern not knowing Georgia with good proximity to Atlanta. The pool was not open but they allow you to use the pool at Staybridge Hotel right next door.

The pool was green! Very unhappy about this. The location was great, and the property was nice otherwise. The bed was comfy, and the large shower with glass doors was nice. However, the bathroom door wouldn't latch, much less lock, and there's no exhaust fan in the bathroom! I liked the blackout window shades but didn't like that the TV wasn't a smart TV; the aspect ratio on most channels was off. With other options in the same parking lot as this hotel, I wouldn't choose it again.

Toilet didn’t seem to flush well … thats all im going to say on that .and the microwave was so high up … that was weird. My child was showing signs of low grade fever after we checked out , so theres that .

There was a child above us that ran around stomping and jumping the whole time me and my wife was there. Finally at 2 am I called to the front desk and they called the room but three hours later the child was up doing it again. We was so frustrated that we got dressed and drove home sleepy because we couldn't get any rest. I told the front desk and the manager is supposed to contact me but I haven't heard anything yet! It is unfair because I wasted my money

One thing I would complain about would be housekeeping not cleaning the room during my 3 day stay. I don’t know if it was upon request or they don’t clean rooms that have dogs (I always took my dog out) but they prioritize rooms that are empty. I left for 6 hrs one day from late morning into the night and the room was still not clean. The front desk staff was great! Very friendly and gave advice when I ran into trouble with my booking. Fast check out. Also located in a convenient location. 30 minutes to Atlanta, 6 mins to Gas South Arena, and 8 mins from Kroger. There’s dozens of great 4-star rated restaurants from brunch, lunch, and dinner. Would definitely go back!

We booked 2 room via Expedia and when we arrive at the property to check in, the staff was not welcoming and didn’t want to greet us. We booked 2 room and she only let us check into 1 room and did not care when I showed her my reservation for 2 room and she did not want to help us solve the issue. She said she can’t help us and basically left us and 3 kids without a room. We had to contact Expedia ourself and turns out they over booked and did not have a room for us while we had already paid for it. Rather then telling us that they over booked she acted like it was our fault and she didn’t know the reason why the second room didn’t show up. Completely rude and dgaf about where we were gonna stay for the night and never apologized. Terrible and don’t stay here.

Very nice property for a pretty affordable price! Staff was super, super friendly and helpful. I ended up getting to the hotel off my flight quite early before check-in time and just expected to drop off my bags, but then they told me my room was already ready! The relief I felt was incomparable after the exhausting four modes of transportation I endured to get there. Area around looked safe and well-taken care of, as well, and was in a quiet nook off the road behind some businesses next to two other hotels. Can't speak on amenities too much as I didn't have time to check them out between event activities. Thank you for a comfy and clean place to rest between a hectic schedule!

Be careful with this hotel. Check your credit card for unauthorized charges after you check out. They charged my card without any notice. Called the hotel and they could not provide any explanation for the charge and refused to issue a refund. Not sure how they can stay in the business by stealing from customers. Stay away from them!

I chose this hotel for the price and location but i wont be staying again unfortunately. The staff didnt seem very knowledgeable of the ongoings of the hotel, I got 3 different times for breakfast hours, or were too lazy to help with simple necessities like laundry bags. The man on second shift just seemed like he didnt want to be there and would take at least 5 minutes to come to the front desk.

Very easy and quick check in, staff was friendly. The hotel room itself was clean and comfortable and there were no issues. Unfortunately didn’t get to try the breakfast because we woke up too late but checking out was also easy and the manager I believe gave us a little treat bag with chocolate and mints. We were visiting for a concert at the Gas South Arena so the location was very convenient, there’s also a McDonalds right next to it. Would definitely stay again due to friendliness and convenience and hopefully can try the breakfast next time!

Great clean hotel near the convention center. Loved the overall vibe of the rooms. Breakfast offerings were inconsistent. We stayed two days. One day had only a few items out, but the next day was much better and included a variety of hot options. It may have just been an accidental hiccup during our stay. No real complaints!

The room was clean & spacious. Was surprised to see no coffee maker in the room. Manisha & Abby were AMAZING!!! Super helpful, kind & gracious. I was surprised that the continental breke was very limited. Would be great to have a variety regarding the hot menu options. Perhaps change up the eggs to scrambled, offer a meat option like bacon or sausages. There is plenty of room to offer a waffle station like other Marriott locations as well as fruit options. Overall, my stay was great.
