8.2/10 Very Good! (349 reviews)

The staff was so accommodating. The location was perfectly located for buses and journal square, the room was spotless and gave us so much space. There were grocery stores, a dollar tree, and food all on the same block making for an easy walk to stock up when we were there during a snow storm. Booking the Peachtree was a great choice for our stay!

The staff is lovely and the property gorgeous. The room could have been more complete (no slippers to be found and no in-room mini bar amenities, which was surprising). The grounds are pristine and peaceful.
