Nice hotel overall with a good location. Slightly dated but upgraded at the same time. Will stay again and again. Probably our new go-to for Atlanta.

The Georgian Terrace Hotel
Friendly staff, big clean rooms, beautiful lobby, good food in the restaurant. The restaurant only had one waiter, therefore, the service was slower than I would have liked. But I saw he was doing his best to keep up.
