Great location, Quiet, Staff very friendly
Pros:

The king suite was A-Mazing. Very cozy, roomy and quiet. Would stay here again hands down. Very easy commute to Emory University Hospital and they offer the Emory rate when contacted ahead of time. Worth every penny.

Amazing getaway from home
Pros:

The breakfast options were great. The bed was comfortable and the pillows are super soft. I’m picky about my bathrooms and this hotel met my expectations especially with the daily clean up.

Cons:

Have to pay for parking but that was expected.

Small hiccup with booking but Hampton Inn Saves the day.
Pros:

Location was amazing, facility was clean and plenty of food options within walking distance that can cater to anyone’s taste.

Cons:

The only problem was the facility didn’t have my booking information and when booking sent another confirmation number. It still didn’t show up. Booking refunded me my money and the Hotel staff Shawn matched the price for booking. He knew how frustrating this was and has seen it before through third parties. He was extremely polite, knowledgeable and accommodating in a stressful time.

Great. Will stay here again when we come back.
Pros:

Most of it.
When needed, restaurant delivery and door dash delivered straight to our room.
Could sign in to netflix and Disney and keep watching our shows from home.

Cons:

Never could get the wifi to work. It kept saying it couldn't find us.
Pillows needed replacement as they were very flat once weight was on them. Common with most hotels though. We forgot to bring our own.

Cons:

The hotel never received my reservation thru Booking. So we had to get another room. I have contested the charge to my cc because we didn’t have the room thru booking that we were supposed to have booked. We have paid twice for a room but I’m confident you will issue a credit for full amount.

Pros:

The rooms were beautiful and staff was so friendly.

Cons:

There were random clumps of pubic hair or hair from a beard under the sink in the bathroom and randomnly throughout the bathroom and in the sink in the hallway, this just made me feel like the whole room was nasty after thing and to be such a nice hotel the beds were so uncomfortable.

Outstanding Service, Spotless Rooms, and a Perfect Location!
Pros:

If I could give the Hampton Inn & Suites Decatur/Emory more than five stars, I would!
I was driving to Florida and wanted to spend a couple of days in Atlanta, but I specifically wanted to avoid staying downtown because of the World Cup Fan Fest crowds. I also wanted to be within a reasonable drive of kosher restaurants. A friend who grew up in Atlanta suggested the Decatur area, and it turned out to be one of the best travel recommendations I've ever received.

From the moment I walked through the door, I knew I had picked the right hotel. Check-in took only a couple of minutes, and the front desk staff couldn't have been warmer or more welcoming. They took the time to ask about my plans, offered great local advice, and recommended taking an Uber to the Georgia Aquarium instead of driving because of the Fan Fest traffic. That suggestion alone saved me a tremendous amount of time, money, and frustration.

What really stood out throughout my stay was the people. Every member of the staff I encountered genuinely seemed to enjoy their job, and that positive attitude was contagious. Their friendliness never felt forced—it was sincere. As I was returning the luggage cart before checking out, a housekeeper stopped me with a smile and insisted that I leave it for her. It's a small gesture, but it's exactly the kind of thoughtful service that separates a good hotel from an exceptional one.

As an unexpected bonus, I was upgraded to a larger room. It was immaculate, incredibly spacious, and one of the quietest hotel rooms I've stayed in. The bed was exceptionally comfortable, and everything—from the air conditioning and television to the shower and Wi-Fi—worked flawlessly. The extra room gave me plenty of space to organize my luggage and cooler without feeling cramped, making the stay even more relaxing.

The complimentary breakfast was exactly what I wanted. I'm not someone who eats a huge breakfast, so Hampton's selection of cereal, pastries, coffee, juice, and other morning favorites was perfect before heading out for a day of sightseeing.

Although I didn't use the fitness center or other amenities, everything I saw looked spotless and well maintained, reinforcing the impression that this hotel takes great pride in its property.

Parking was easy and convenient, right outside a side entrance, with only a small, reasonable fee. The neighborhood felt safe, quiet, and welcoming. For anyone who wants to experience Atlanta without the stress of staying downtown, this location is hard to beat.

Everything about this stay exceeded my expectations. Outstanding customer service, spotless and comfortable accommodations, a fantastic location, and a staff that truly cares about its guests made this one of the most enjoyable hotel experiences I've had in a long time.

I travel fairly often, and it's rare to find a hotel where everything just clicks. The Hampton Inn & Suites Decatur/Emory did exactly that. I will absolutely stay here again on my next trip to Atlanta, and I recommend it without hesitation.
