Loved our stay at the hotel except for breakfast. It wasn't fancy, but was clean and worked with our budget. The staff there was very friendly and helpful and made sure our stay was comfortable.

Positives: The staff was wonderful and eager to make our stay comfortable.

Negatives: Breakfast was cold and stale. The exercise room was tiny.

My overall stay was pleasant. My only complaint is if you are not out of your room when housekeeping comes by they do not return again. Nothing peeves me more than coming back to an uncleaned room at an hotel. I'm paying by the night, therefore, I would like more room cleaned by the night.

Positives: Nice cozy.

Negatives: If you are not out of the room when housekeeping comes to clean they do not return.

The hotel is "okay". Not as nice as other Holiday Inn's we've stayed at. It was small, pretty plain-Jane, and not in the nicest part of town. Signs were posted all over the parking lot that they were not responsible for theft - which doesn't make you feel real safe. We arrived at noon (check-in time was 3) to see if we could check in any earlier than 3. But at the same time were informed that we were assigned a smoking room. We asked if we could get non- and they said no- they are all taken. We had no choice but to take it, considering it was already paid for through Priceline. We figured we'd buy some Febreze from the local WalMart and give it a good spray and it would be fine. But when we walked in the room the smell was so strong it knocked us down practically! We bought a large bottle of EXTRA STRENGTH Febreze and sprayed every square inch of the room (using the entire bottle) THEN we sprayed an industrial strength spray made specifically for smoke and left the room for several hours - hoping that would do the trick. It made a small dent, but didn't help much at all. We repeated this process 3 times before finally trying to go to bed that night. The smell was so bad that neither of us could sleep, and I ended up getting up at 3 a.m. to hunt for a bandana I had in my suitcase to tie across my face so I could try to get some sleep (as we had a 12 hour drive to make the following day). My spouse woke up with his eyes swollen shut from the smoke. We got up at 5:30 and were showered and out of the room by 6 - we couldn't get out fast enough. So my recommendation - ALWAYS call as soon as you book your room and request a non-smoking room, I think if we ever run into this problem again, we'll be sure to just eat the cost and go someplace else to stay the night.

Positives: Quick drive to Stone Mountain.

Negatives: Didn't feel real safe here, and got a smoking room - Bad smoking room!

Overall I think it was a good value. The rooms and common areas were very clean and comfortable. The air conditioner worked great and was not noisy. The WiFi signal was too weak and I kept getting disconnected. But otherwise. My stay was very pleasant.

Positives: The complimentary breakfast.

Negatives: The WiFi was insufficient and I kept getting disconnected.

This is a very comfortable hotel with coffee available all the time and occasional fresh baked cookies. The free breakfast included milk, juices, coffee, cereals, bagels, muffins, fruit, yogurt, hard boiled eggs, and the best cinnamon rolls. Our beds were comfortable with lots of pillows. The TV included a lot of cable channels. The non smoking room smelled fresh. A small refrigerator and microwave oven were in the room. A coin operated washer and dryer were down the hall and a soft drink machine was handy and reasonably priced. Local calls were free.

Positives: Clean, well located for our purposes, comfortable room, very friendly staff, and free breakfast.

Negatives: Bathroom ventilator fan wasn't installed flush with ceiling; there was a split in the liner of the bathtub, rather stark bathroom.

Overall, I thought the hotel was fine for what I need from it. The staff was very helpful with directions & anything you asked for. I think they should have provided more towels in the bathroom. They should also really leave the AC on before people check into the room. It is Atlanta & it took awhile for our room to cool down.

Positives: I thought that hotel staff was very friendly & the free breakfast was great.

Negatives: I thought that the rooms could have been a little cleaner & they needed to provide more towels. 2 towels are not enough.

Overall, this hotel was a good place to stay for the price if you weren't looking for any frills. Highly recommend taking the stairs and not waiting on the elevator, but other than that, the rooms were clean although rather small. The free breakfast had a wonderful selection. I would recommend this hotel to business travelers or those that are just looking for a place to sleep.

Positives: The hotel was very clean and comfortable.

Negatives: The rooms were very small and the elevator was excruciatingly slow!
