We did not pre-plan to stay here. We were coming into Atlanta to visit a friend on a drive back to Chicago, and rolled into town in the wee hours of the morning. Unlike every other hotel we tried, they were willing to provide us a room. Price was a bit higher than the others but I feel like it was a good value.

Pros:
*The rooms were clean and comfortable.

*They let us push back check out so we could not be rushed in getting on the road. We were so tired.

*The pool was amazing! The temperature was perfect. Lots of towels. Spa...I could have stayed in it forever. ADDED BONUS: Very handicapped friendly - had stairs and a ladder to choose from as well as a lift chair to get in and out of the pool AND spa. (My eldest sister is wheelchair bound so I have a deep appreciation for this exceptional effort to make it easier for those who need these thing to enjoy the amenities. Very rare indeed)

*Staff was friendly. Concierge helped me finally figure out where the pool was and how to get back to my room - I got lost going to both more than once.

CONS:
*The layout of the hotel is a bit confusing. I had to ask several times which was to go, and an elevator switch is required between parking and rooms.

*Parking was a bit steep (but I am from Chicago so not THAT steep ha ha) and felt really closed in and tight, but it wasn't full so less worrisome.

*Flooring surrounding the pool got VERY slippery once wet. Had one of the babies with us take a bit of a spill, but no major injuries.

*Cell signal got really spotty inside. Partially and largely on my provider, surely, but worth noting if you are cell dependent that it can get troublesome

If we come back to Atlanta in the future, we would happily stay here again. Definitely plan for more than one night!
