Loved the hotel. Clean and very friendly staff. Wasn’t too pleased with housekeeping as they took towels each day but did not replace.

The Georgian Terrace Hotel
Overall a great experience for a trip to Atlanta to see a show at the Fox. Staff was exceptional. Parking easy. We did not have children with us but I was impressed with the promotions for the Harry Potter Show to make it special for children- a sorting hat, wands and a chance for a gift bag.
