We arrived late but the staff was still accomodating. The staff were helpful and answered all our questions. However, when we arrived there was a dirty wash cloth still hanging in the bathroom and it looks like it’s been there a while. There were still hair on the carpet. It was hard to determine the temperature of the water in the shower because there was no label on the knob and it only ran hot water. I was sent an email by the property manager that they offer an “intercontinental breakfast”, I had high hopes but most of the food were processed.

We had a wonderful stay overall. The hotel’s restaurant was truly outstanding — every meal was delicious, and the service there was top-notch. Our room was beautiful, spotless when we arrived, and felt luxurious and comfortable. The bath tub was AMAZING! The only downside was our maid service. Despite leaving a tip every single day, our room was barely tidied. I know the bathroom floor was not swept daily because the same pieces of toilet paper remained on the floor behind the door after maid service. Another concern was the area outside the hotel. The homeless population in the nearby parks was very noticeable, and it made walking directly from the hotel uncomfortable. We often had to walk up a block and around to feel safe leaving the hotel. It was disappointing compared to the rest of the hotel, which was excellent.

Popular places to visit

Completed in 1910, the Herndon Home, was the residence of Alonzo Herndon and his family. Herdon was a former slave raised in a sharecropping family after the Civil War. Herndon studied barbering, and owned and managed a string of barbershops in downtown Atlanta after the Civil War, one of which was considered to be the most elegant in the country with marble floors and chandelier. Investing his income into real estate, Herndon became the largest black property owner in Atlanta by 1900. Later, Herndon founded the Atlanta Life Insurance Company, located in the Sweet Auburn Historic District, and became Atlanta's first black millionaire. The home was primarily designed by Adrienne Herndon, Alonzo's first wife and a teacher at Atlanta University. The couple had one son, Norris. Adrienne died of Addison's disease just three months after the home was completed. In 1912 Alonzo married Jessie Gillespie. The Herndon home is a two-story, 15-room Beaux Arts mansion built by local black craftsmen. The formally composed building is constructed with multi-colored brick, and features a two-story entry portico supported by Corinthian columns. One-story porches to each side of the building echo this theme in brick piers and wooden capitals. An elliptical fanlight over the main entrance and the balustrade above the full entablature of the building's cornice add a distinctly Georgian Revival flavor to this imposing residence. The Herndon Home is a lasting tribute to the hard work and talent of extraordinary African Americans in Atlanta, and was designated a National Historic Landmark in 2000.
