Not normal this low expectations
Pros:

For the price I paid I asked to have a full kitchen in my apartment. She gave us one out the kitchen and did not even reduce the price. Worst experience I’ve ever had our place of rest and relaxation.

Disappointed enough to consider not staying again.
Pros:

Love staying here. Great location, and the property is beautiful in many ways.

Cons:

Have stayed several times, and the experience is hit and miss. Sometimes the accommodations are clean and comfortable and surpass expectations, but I have stayed in a suite before that was in desperate need of renovation and felt a bit scary. This last visit, there was never maid service despite it being requested, no clean towels, lightbulbs were burned out, heavy dust on several surfaces. A closet door that stuck, and general lack of cleanliness in the room.

It was very good a very safe, comfortable and enjoyable place to stay
Pros:

The room was very nice I was an Emory patient but didn’t do the booking correctly to get the patient rate so they upgraded the room to two room suite for my son and I which it was a very nice suite. The breakfast was very good.

Cons:

No pancakes or biscuits and gravy on the breakfast menu. We went out front at 7:30 after breakfast to get some espresso and the coffee shop that was supposed to open at 6:30 was still not open. That was kind of a bummer but life happens and Starbucks was in the hospital lobby so it was all good. That’s it pretty goofy complaints we’ll have a good day

Enjoyable stay in a historic hotel.
Pros:

Location was great for our purposes of visiting Atlanta.

Cons:

Appeared to only be two elevators, which made for a slow response time.

Not bad. Great location. Would consider staying again if updated.
Pros:

It’s a beautiful property. Large rooms. Fantastic midtown location. However, needs refurbishing.

Cons:

The 3-bedroom apartments are a great space. But feel old. Water smell was prominent. Walls need painting. Furniture needs updating. Our door would not lock.

Avoid It - Just Avoid It
Pros:

Rooms are dated. Water leaked from the walls and flooded the room hallway. No hot water in the AM. Had to have a cold shower before important business meeting. A completely miserable experience. Hotel maintenance started banging on my door at 5am to try and gain entry. Do your self a favor and avoid this place. They didn't meet my expectations. I can't believe they think they possibly met theirs.

Friendly Staff Bad Hotel - Go Elsewhere
Pros:

While the lobby and staff make a decent first impression, they are unfortunately a polished facade for a deeply dysfunctional hotel. Our experience was a series of service failures that simply do not justify the price point.
​The primary issues included:

​-Failed Infrastructure: For most of our stay, only one elevator was functional, leading to constant delays. By the time we checked out, that final elevator had also broken down, leaving guests stranded on upper floors with their luggage. While I can't prove it, I heard from a coworker that the hotel has been operating with one elevator for over a month before our event.
​-False Advertising: The hotel claims to offer room service, yet the phones go unanswered and the service is non-existent even though it is advertised as in-room service. When I went to the lobby to inquire after ananswered phone calls to the operator and front desk, I was told I’d have to go to the restaurant and carry the food back to my room myself.
-​Inadequate ADA Accommodations: While an ADA-compliant room was provided, the hotel failed to honor the essential request to place travel assistants in the adjacent room, creating unnecessary difficulty for our colleague.
​-Inconsistent Room Quality: While my room appeared renovated, my coworkers dealt with outdated, "nasty" kitchens, broken appliances, non-functional bathrooms and a lack of hot water. Some rooms even flooded on our final day.
​-Atmosphere: Some of my coworkers indicated their floor was plagued by the persistent smell of marijuana, further highlighting a lack of management oversight.

The lack of attention to detail here is staggering. Based on this experience, I would not recommend, will not be booking future events at this property, nor would I ever choose to stay here again. The pictures on their site don't tell the full story.

Room Not as Expected
Pros:

The room fell short of expectations. The decor appeared dated and did not match what was advertised.
Only one elevator was functioning for all 17 floors, which caused long wait times.

Lovely on the Outside, Disappointing inside the rooms
Pros:

I was in 207, that door was hard to open & close and was loud. The coke vending machine on that floor did not work. I checked floor 3, 4 & 5 and did not see any other vending machines so I gave up. Marking where actual vending machines are or just having them in the lobby would be nice.

The elevator buttons glow very dimly, it's hard to tell. If the elevator is coming. The elevator from the bottom floor normally took 5-8 mins. Maybe someone pranked or it was busy. I took the stairs, the stairs looked and felt like a maintenance shaft for a motel. Not a 4 star hotel.

The stairs were not clearly marked, I tried the stairs opposite of the elevator and it just went to a locked balcony. Please have clear signage.

Finding breakfast was difficult but it was some of the best breakfast I had. The breakfast experience was world-class. No signage, I imagine quite a few guests weren't even aware that it was available.

3 TVs, a washing machine & dryer (w/o detergent) but not refrigerator is the opposite of what I need. I should have reviewed the listing closer, but no fridge is quite disappointing as I have no food storage for a longer stay.

Finally the sleeping experience was bad, I woke up almost 90 mins every night. No fan, very very light blankets, a firm mattress and I think the elevator loud beeping consistently woke me up even though my apartment was quite far away. This is the only hotel I've stayed in my life that I've had this much trouble consistently staying asleep.

Thank you for reading through my complaints. I probably should have gone down and said something but I was just exhausted from the work conference each day.

Not a great experience
Pros:

There was one elevator for the hotel and the waits were excessive. TV was out and maintenance could not fix over my two day stay.

Never again
Pros:

My deadbolt did not lock. Your staff is smoking weed. The elevator is broken. The stairwell looks like a homeless hangout. I had to really carefully dial in the hot water for the shower. There was such a small sweet spot to have warm water. I got locked out of my room because I was a few minutes late to check out. Crazy times. You can do better.
