Very nice hotel with great location for the action...

Very nice hotel with great location for the action. My wife and I stayed here for 2 nights for a small getaway from Atlanta. From the time we arrived to check out time the staff was nice and helpful.

I could have gave it 5 stars however, there was a swingers convention (Naughty in Nawlins) that kicked in on our last night at the hotel that got a little ugly for a few minutes. When they first began to swarm the hotel (assuming they were checking in) everything was fine. My wife and I wasn't told this by the way, when we checked in on Tuesday that this would be taking place and it could affect us. We were headed to our room on the 13th floor when we were stopped and asked for a badge. I quickly showed my room key and the guard stated that I needed to go to the front desk to discuss with them. We went over and the hotel representative walked us back over to the elevator and said they are good. He just asked that we didn't stop on the 2nd floor nor accessed the pool area due to those areas being bought out by the group. Trusting that the proper communication had taken place for those in the same predicament as us, we decided to leave out the room to enjoy our last night on the town and grab a bite to eat.

Returning back to our room would be a real challenge this time. As we were approaching the elevator, the guard (different one) states we can't go to our rooms even after seeing our room key. Walking back from the front desk with the hotel representative, a white male approaches and tells me I couldn't be allowed on the elevator. We explained we went through it earlier and all we need to do is get the guard to talk with the hotel staff. The guy goes, No you can't because we bought this whole side of the hotel. I then stated that he couldn't have bought all of the rooms because we have one on the 13th floor that I'm going to now. The man decides to get closer and ask if we could talk and I explained to him there was nothing to talk with him about. He was so frustrated that he asked the hotel representative to escort us to our room and don't allow us to go anywhere else. She then told us to just get on the elevator and apologized.

There was a guy that was checking out as my wife and I and he had kids. He wasn't pleased that they couldn't enjoy the pool due to everything. We are aware that sometimes wannabe difficult people will cause trouble and I totally understand. However, I feel that the Astor Crown knew they were coming and knew that they had a huge demand to meet. Management should've alerted us during check in and told us that we may experience some unusual guests; have to be relocated to access our room; or just not given a room on that side of the hotel or something!!! Nothing was said and it got very close to being a physical altercation. I don't allow/condone the invasion of space (disrespect) to me or my family... Oh and as far as the homeless goes, they weren't aggressive or even near bad as some of the ones we have in Atlanta.

Our visit was July 5th - July 7th.
