The front desk staff were great. A female moved us to a different room after letting her know the room we were in initially was noisy and we asked for a quieter part of the hotel. The hotel needs a major update. Food choices at the restaurant were limited.

Great customer service, hotel staff is very accommodating. Breakfast was always fresh and good, there are many options. Wish the rooms had bigger trash cans, can't fit much in them. Pool is on the smaller side, only accommodates 3-4 people max. You do have to pay an additional fee for parking of $25 daily which we weren't aware of before arriving. Overall would stay again when vacationing in Atlanta!
