Wow where do I start? The stars are FOR THE STAFF. So I came to Atlanta last minute to attend a…read morewedding, decided to stay a few days, so I made a reservation at this hotel on Hotels.com. The room was great, I was a large king size suite with a kitchen and everything, so what did I not like? 1. The area where the hotel is located, is HORRIBLE, there is nothing to do or see. Not even many restaurants. The few that there are, close super early. No McDonlads, BK, Wendy's, Dominoes, pizza hut, KFC, Popeyes, Chick Fil-a, NOTHING NOTHING. There is no entertainment at walking distance. All there is, is Emory hospital buildings, and Georgia Tech university buildings 2. The restaurant at the hotel and the bar, have very spotty hours of operation, so you would have to set alarms on your phone to remind you of their closing time. 3. While the room was very clean, the carpets outside on the hallways were not, they really need to be vacuumed. 4. I was on the 22nd floor, and at night it smells like weed. 5. There are really 2 hotels in one Staybridge Suites and Crowne Plaza, but the sign outside only says crown plaza so you might get confused when you arrive. 6. The AC in the room did not work very well, even though I had it set around 68, i was not cooling properly. 7. The tv signal kept dropping intermittently for like 3 hours and then it stopped. 8. There was no body wash /soap in the dispenser, in the shower. There was shampoo and conditioner. 9. There is no safe in the room. 10. The internet connection was painfully slow, it was fine for the cell phone but when I tried using my laptop, it was too slow and I ended up conneting to my mobile carrier hotspot. Breakfast was adequate, liquid eggs, lots of bacon, that was good, potatoes, a waffle maker, but it is over at 9:30 AM. You have to get there super early because otherwise you will not get a table. If you want a cheap room in midtown because you have business in the area, stay here, make sure you go to a supermarket on the first day and load of on snacks and drinks, since there is a full kitchen in the room, otherwise you are going to have to eat the hotel's overpriced mediocre food, or have to take an Uber to get to a decent restaurant. I have stayed at the Marriott and the Westin in downtown, and there are more things at walking distance, but this hotel leaves a lot to be desired. Again the staff were amazing, super welcoming and friendly, very helpful and extra nice, but unfortunately the hotel itself and the area, were a disappointment.

I am not sure what this hotels name really is. When we booked its called the peachtree hotel…read moremidtown atlanta by Marriott. Its also coming up crowne plaza wtf. If this is a Marriott it is a Marriott that Marriott forgot. Its disgusting inside and out. We were on the 19 floor. I felt like we were in a dispensary, the smell of dank weed as soon as you get of the elevator lets you know the usual quality of guests. Cant even go outisde to get high. Then the musty smell hits you when you walk into your filthy room. If i could give zero stars i would. Theres a kitchenette in the room soap or sponge to clean dishes. No paper-towel on the paper town dispenser. This place needs to be condemned.

I would recommend this hotel because I had great interactions with the employees. They were all…read morevery helpful and concerned at issues that had arisen. However, the hotel is old and is in need of some true upgrades from the carpet to their walls, fixtures, and other additional furniture. I had booked for a room on the top floors away from the elevator. They placed me on the 22nd floor in a 74 floor hotel which was disappointing but we went with it due to the fact it was late. The room had an odor and it was not very plush or clean as i would have expected. The next morning I requested to be moved and we were put on the 46 floor, where I soon discovered that the carpet all along the window and next to the bed were soaked in water but this was the freshest smelling room... go figure. We then requested another room change and were moved to the 53rd floor where the views were amazing. Same room set up but with each room move we noticed they had added little extras like sewing kits and q-tip/ cotton ball packs. Once we came back from a long day we got in our beds only to discover the outlets next to the bed did not work nor did the television. Maintenance came promptly to fix and did. We were given a complementary buffet breakfast for the inconvenience and they comped our valet which You should note is 65$ for hotel guest that are paying for a room already. If you are just there eating they will validate. Overall the hotel itself has views but the real reason they got 3 stars was Because of their employees from the valley to the front desk and let's not forgot the elderly black maintenance man.

Marriott should be totally ashamed to have an establishment like this under its umbrella. The…read moreWestin Peachtree Plaza should be avoided for many factors. They have a roach infestation!! Not only did I find a roach just walking in my room, so did 3 of my co-workers in their rooms. Then we saw roaches walking in the lobby bar area, the men's and ladies restroom in the lobby nearest the bar and upon leaving for our flight in the morning, the elevators had so much bug spray that I almost couldnt breathe making it down the levels. What made it worse was, I reported it immediately, only for them to say they noted it and did NOTHING to make it right! The AC needed an engineer to come fix it because it was so hot we woke up sweating. Came back the next day after asking for an engineer to fix the AC all day and had to have one come to our room at 2am! since no one sent one up earlier. Fridge did not work and ran hot the entire time of our stay. Next was the bar area..... We patronize a lot of hotels and establishments for our jobs and I really don't like being taken advantage of. Night one, we had an awesome waitress in the bar. We told her we are all separate ( it's a work trip) she took our orders separately, we all got our checks, no issues. No issues with the drinks, the food, the service. Day 2, different waitress. Same thing. Went smooth as can be. Day 3 and 4 we had Salam and she insisted she would take the orders all together and break them up later. When we stated we had done this way of ordering two other times with (and gave the other watiresses names) she said, I am not them. Ok, whatever. Not only did we not get items we ordered after repeatedly advising her we ordered something but they chaos was not over........ We had checks that had other peoples drinks on them. People who had left and since she did it the way she did it, other people were stuck with their checks. We had food orders in and when we inquired about the long time it was taking, we were told the kitchen was closed, EVEN THOUGH WE ORDERED BEFORE THE KITCHEN CLOSED. We had bartenders who were rude as could be, this one bartender who has a shaker tattooed on her arm said out loud almost yelling, "I'm done with the specialty drinks for the night" because someone ordered an old fashion?????????? AN OLD FASHION!!!! that is a typical bar drink and lots of people enjoy one as a night cap after a long workday. This bartender was rude and short and loud and should not be working in hospitality. It was like we were in a bizarre movie, the rudeness, the lack of customer service, the ineptness, and we constantly had to ask for stuff we asked for earlier. Then we see the reason why she did it the way she did it. She would automatically get to add an 18% gratuity to our checks despite us not sitting with 6 people or ordering with 6 people. One night, kid you not, we had two sets of two. We asked for two separate checks. As she was getting out checks.... Other people we knew, sat at the two tables next to us and started talking to us and ordering. After we paid our check, she came back and said she has to re do our check to add a new extra gratuity??????????? Of course we said NO WAY! but then we realized, that was why she was doing it this way the two nights she worked. Despite us being good tippers and would have probably tipped more than 18% anyway, but doing it the way she did it had orders missed, confused and people stuck with other peoples bills and to be quite honest, I don't like the shadiness of it all. If I need or want a separate check and you see two people there, it shouldn't matter who comes later and sits near us and now add 18% gratuity! As for the bar food. Well, don't get the wings. The pizza was fine. Truffle fries were good. If you are a corporation or wishing to have a conference at this hotel, they are not the type of hotel that attempts to accommodate. Let me explain..... Even with a full convention or two at the hotel, they do not extend the bar hours... So if you want lunch before 2pm, youre out of luck, go to starbucks. They dont open the bar for lunch for drinks or food... That is unheard of, we usually have bars extend and ramp up staff. This bar utilized one waitress and one bartender and a manager for a 5 day convention. They need a complete overhaul here. They need to deep clean, figure out their infestation. Teach hospitality to their staff. Maybe teach the staff that when people are on business trips, individual checks are mandatory and convenient for their customers. Management could know how to handle complaints and or settle matters like this. Instead due to this waitress, we have a credit card bill we are disputing since we found extra drinks on our receipt that she let the people leave since her methods suck and we got stuck with a $200 bill for it.

Also, the bar in the atrium area carries a lot of noise upwards. -Day 1 of stay, came back at 4:30pm and housekeeping hadn't come by. -Day 2 of stay, came back at 5:30pm and housekeeping hadn't come by. I called down for towels, waited an hour and no one came by, so I went downtstairs to get them. Finally at 7:30 houskeeping came by, but I declined service. -Day of check out, received by bill via email and noticed I charged for my two Starbucks visits, despite booking the 'Starbucks package' which entitled me to $15 of Starbucks per day. I went downstairs to straighten this out and I was told that they would 'take care of it.' However, when I went down to check out, I reviewed my bill and only 1 Starbucks charge was taken off. I explained that it was a 'daily credit' and not a one time deal, so both Starbucks charges needed to come off. I was told that it was going to come off and I would get a refund on my credit card and I got a revised bill. The After Stay Two weeks after my check out, I hadn't gotten my overcharge credit on my credit card. Had to wait 30 minutes to talk to someone at the front desk who told me that I owed them money! Then I was transferred to the finance department where I left a message and never heard back. I found two corporate emails and wrote a very upsetting emails about the failed services of my visit. I was told that the charge would be reversed. Well, it took 2 more emails and it finally happened. So, all in all it took 6 weeks to get this overcharge resolved. On top of this, I had to ask for my Marriot Bonvoy points, because it was never credited to my account after check out.

Well, where to start here. I suppose I will go into the check in/room first. We showed up kind of…read moreearly in the day, but they were well aware of our arrival. Even though we were early they had rooms available for us to check into. Being here for a conference they had a room block set aside. With a room block, you would think that when we checked in, we would all be kind of in the same area. For the four of us that were here early, that was not the case, everyone in our party, but me, were placed in the main tower. Rooms with balconies, decent views, straight shot to the conference area. Me, I got the International Tower, a walk from everything in the hotel. Yes, it kind of connects to the conference portion of the hotel, but it is a hefty walk through corridors that aren't always free of people. Get to my room and I do a quick onceover, no balcony like my reservation confirmation stated. Wouldn't have mattered anyway, I could barely get to the window to close the curtains for sleeping. The awkward couch was awkwardly in front of the window. Felt like this might have been put there as an afterthought. As for the rest of the onceover, I noticed a few more things. The drawers in the dresser were iffy. One was visibly broken, but surprisingly the one that actually worked well on the track. The other drawers were not as easy to pull out. The outlet in the desk area, did not work in the least. I had to reach the plug to the wall. The fridge, not the biggest. The bathroom, water pressure wasn't great. Also, regulating the water temperature was like being a sorcerer. There would be days that it would be fine. There would be days where you would have to put the temp all the way up to hot to get decent temp. Then, there are days that you would have to have it completely cold and still be scalded. Don't get me started about changing between tub and shower. The wall button does not really work much. Now, for the conference portion. They were absolutely amazing. They took care of everything. The rooms were well maintained and readily usable. I honestly could not complain too much about this. But there are a few complaints, but they should not overshadow the service we received. Where we had our information desk for our conference we were positioned very close to where there garage was. This wouldn't have been too bad, but the one door to exit rarely stayed closed. Constantly letting in exhaust fumes from the garage area. Then there was the bat that was flying around the one area we had in use. And, let's just say that the unhoused can and do make their way into the hotel and hide in places that aren't always watched. Some of them do unsavory things. There was something about this hotel too that made me go a little wacky. Not crazy, but this building messed with my ears to the point where I could not hear anything for a good part of a day. I'm not sure if it were allergies, or the mixture of fumes and the way the elevators really flew up and down. I could only get my hearing back by taking a cocktail of over-the-counter medications. After being here for over a week, I was ready to head out. I actually came to love the fact I was in the opposite tower. It gave me time to explore how to traverse this hotel without going through the lobby. It also gave me solitude after long days making sure the conference ran correctly. The amenities were kind of cool, the pool area was a nice oasis. Then to find the hidden smoke sections were a godsend, another oasis unto their own. Overall, I could overlook the room not being up to standard, because this became a home away from home.

I was willing to eat that prepaid charge if it meant I could go somewhere that felt safer and cleaner. So I booked the Hyatt, walked for 10 or 15 minutes, and was actually able to check in an hour and a half early! Right away, everything felt better. There was a spacious, well-lit and busy lobby. The elevator required my key card to even use it, and although my room was right across from the elevator, I never heard anything. There was a great view from the ninth floor. It was a tiny room, but I loved it! The only thing I would have changed was the shower water temperature. It didn't really get hot and actually went kind of cool after about two minutes, but I didn't think much of it. The next day, my shower temperature was fine. I didn't avail myself of any of the food options, but the lobby bar and restaurant looked busy and I should have eaten there, because the wait at a nearby restaurant I chose turned out to be too long. A bird in the hand, I guess. I ended up writing the staff a note afterward thanking them for making me feel so safe after visiting such a scary hotel earlier in my trip. I mentioned the water and they said that I should have said something, but obviously it didn't break my stay. This isn't exactly a luxury hotel, but it was certainly comfortable and convenient and I would be happy to stay there again if I'm ever in Atlanta.

Batteries…read more The Worst Hotel Experience I've Ever Had - Residence Inn Atlanta Midtown Peachtree on 17th Street As indicated by my past reviews, I typically only take the time to write when a hotel experience is either exceptional or horrendous. Unfortunately, this review falls squarely in the latter category. I'm making an exception today because this was, hands down, the worst hotel stay I've ever had--especially shocking coming from a Residence Inn. Where do I even begin? From the moment I arrived, the service was atrocious. There's a sign instructing guests to press a button for entry if they haven't checked in yet--fine, understandable. What's not acceptable is having to push that button ten times while watching the front desk rep blatantly ignore me. I could see them, and they simply refused to acknowledge my presence. When I was finally let in and checking in, I had to remind the front desk staff to give me the complimentary water I'm entitled to as an Elite member. You'd think loyalty would be met with at least basic courtesy. Think again. Now let's talk about the room: dirty. Plain and simple. The walls and doors were scuffed, stained, and screaming for a fresh coat of paint--clearly neglected. For a property carrying the Residence Inn name, this room was far below standard. Then there's the blatant parking scam. Valet is $40 a night--no self-parking available through the hotel. If you want to self-park, you're forced to use a lot across the building, where the sign (inexplicably) says "$18 up to 1440 minutes." 1440 minutes is 24 hours, so I parked at 3 PM Saturday and checked out before 11 AM Sunday--far less than 24 hours. Guess what? Still charged full price, but for two days (totaling $36). Who even posts parking rates by minutes? Absurd. When I called the front desk to speak to a manager, I was told there was no manager or supervisor available until the next day. Unacceptable. And when I brought up the parking issue, I was met with a shrug: "We're not responsible for that lot." Really? Here's a tip for Residence Inn management--if you force customers to use a specific parking option due to your lack of alternatives, you own that experience. Like it or not, perception is reality. And the reality is, this hotel is happy to charge like a premium brand but deliver like a discount motel. In summary: poor service, dirty room, price gouging, and a complete lack of accountability. I truly hope this review saves someone else the regret of staying here. I will never return to this location, and if this is any indication of how Residence Inn is run now, I may rethink my loyalty altogether. One star is too generous!

This is a great option if you want to stay in ATL for a reasonable price. I stayed in a studio…read moreunit and it was clean with sharp lines, and plenty of space. There is a fridge, freezer, and dishwasher, all tucked away behind cabinets. They also offer basic cooking tools, glasses, mugs, etc. A microwave. I liked that the table is an industrial style that allows you to crank it up or down to make it as tall or short as you want. Truly adaptable living space. The bed is comfortable. In the studio unit, it's tucked into a small space, but it doesn't seem cramped. Plenty of closet space here and in the hall. I loved that it had doors that closed it off from the main living spaces, essentially leading it to be black out dark so you could sleep late. The price was great. At first, when I was scheduling about six months ahead, it came up to about 150 a night. I had to add a night and change my reservation later, and it upped it to about 200 per night. You can do long term, short term, or hotel type living here. They offer larger units with one or two bedrooms as well. Not to mention, it's in the heart of Ponce City Market, so you can access all sorts of shopping and dining without getting into your car. Oh, and parking is like 25-45+ dollars per day depending on if you valet or self park. So that's a little pricey. So why four stars instead of five? First off, while there is a front desk upon arrival, there really is no one to help you with your reservation ahead of time. I tried to email the company about changing my reservation in hopes of not losing my rate and no one ever contacted me back. The website is also difficult to navigate and it's a pain to find your reservation. Additionally, though the property is managed by Hilton, you can't use or accrue Hilton rewards by staying here. Also, it was terribly, miserably cold. The thermostat gives you the illusion that you can increase the temperature, and it lets you think it will go as high as 90 degrees, but it never goes above 70. And for some reason, early in the morning, the fan blows forever and it drops into the 60s. I would not stay here again unless I brought an electric blanket. I don't think the tenant has any control over the temp. And finally, the abysmal television/streaming system. Nightmare. Always had difficulty connecting to the internet. Clunky. Weird AI software that reads the screen to you (I get that it can be a great feature for disabled folk). Didn't ever want to sign me into my Amazon account or stream movies I wanted to watch. Basically unusable. Oh! And one other thing I just realized while watching amazon on my laptop, since the TV doesn't work: You can totally see into the bathroom. The bedroom has a curtain, but from the kitchen and the hall, you can see alllllll your business from every angle! I wouldn't stay here again because of the last few things I mentioned, but that's just my experience. I want to be warm and I want to watch TV if I am having down time in the evenings. But overall a good stay.

I loved how they had water and water bottles at the front, so no need to request. There is also a mini fridge in the room that we used to put my baby's milk and things that needed to be refrigerated, inside the fridge there was already mini bar stuff. I let the staff know we used it and did not take anything out of the mini bar which they understood and didn't charge us extra. Room service was quick. Just around 45 min with auto gratuity and $7 delivery fee. Presentation was nice as well. We ordered buffalo wings, fries, with extra ranch, steak quesadillas, and a fruit cobbler with ice cream. All for around $95 delivered. The food was delicious, we ate everything and was pleased. Checkout was great. Quick and easy. They charged the room service to my Amex card which we had $100 credit that was supposed to be applied. I called and they resolved it right away with no hassle. I would definitely stay again since it is steps away from our shop.

The room was a very basic, so I imagine the standard rooms must be cramped. There were OK amenities like a shoe shine kit. The common areas feature beautiful furniture, artwork, and rugs. Although some were a bit wore, dingy, and frayed. There was a jelly bean display that popped up momentarily, then a sausage appetizer in the lobby before dinner time. The lounge was nicely furnished and had assorted snacks and beverages. Although I would love to see more healthy snack options. Sheraton and Renaissance has been much better about having flavored bubbly waters and natural organic snacks. There was a time where the key cards didn't work and the staff compensated by promptly escorting you to your room to let you in. Job well done in the event of issues like this. The front desk staff was very accommodating and friendly. They did get busy at times but they do a good job keeping the lines down by having multiple employees help customers. A very nice lady at the front desk sent sparkling water and chocolate covered strawberries to my room as a nice gift. I will note that they showed up quite too late so I saved them for the next day. I don't know that the hotel truly pays attention to all details, though. In my room was a fruit tray with partially eaten fruit and other trash in the room. Additionally the mini-bar and snack bar had empty spaces upon arrival so I had to go to the front desk and ensure I wouldn't be surprised charged for these on my bill later. Things like this make me wonder what else was missed.. like the shower or bedsheets. The Westin across the street seems to have better amenities and the breakfast is very good, so I'd probably stay there for future visits.
