I never thought I would be someone who actually enjoyed visiting a cemetery, but Oakland Cemetery…read morehas completely changed my perspective! I've visited a couple of times now, and each experience has given me a new appreciation for this historic Atlanta landmark. One thing I really admire about Oakland Cemetery is how intentional they are about creating unique events and experiences while still being respectful to the people laid to rest there. I know the idea of attending events at a cemetery might seem a little strange to some people, and honestly, I thought the same thing at first. But after visiting, I realized there's so much more to this place than just being a cemetery. One of my favorite experiences was attending their Illumine event, where the cemetery was transformed with beautiful light installations, artwork, music, and interactive displays. What I appreciated most was that the experience wasn't just about entertainment. It also encouraged visitors to reflect, learn about the cemetery's history, and remember the lives of those buried there. I also love that many of the events they host help support the preservation, restoration, and maintenance of this historic property. Some of these graves are hundreds of years old, and keeping a place like this maintained takes a lot of work and resources. I think they've found a really thoughtful way to bring the community together while helping preserve an important piece of Atlanta's history. Of course, I understand that everyone has different beliefs and comfort levels when it comes to cemeteries, and I respect that. But personally, I think Oakland Cemetery does a wonderful job of showing that cemeteries can be places of remembrance, education, history, and even celebration of life.

7'2024 Well this was…read morecertainly a stay that I will not forget !! I was in awe viewing online. I chose this hotel to stay while visiting for the Atlanta Open (tennis match), and a concert (Missy Elliott & Friends Out of this World Tour). Both events amazing by the way !! Anyhoo, in person, this hotel was even better! It smelled great in there! Cutesy fresh water available, gorge décor and comfy environment. We were given Room 1103. Whew weeee!! Love at 1st site! There was a spacious hallway that led to our bathroom and sleep area. Bathroom, perfect! Spacious! Bedroom, clean and comfy. Great walkable area off Peachtree. Peachtree station was a few steps away, Black owned restaurants, sports bars, jazz venue, 24 hour spots, rail service. I highly recommend this hotel to anyone looking for clean, safe, elevated stay.

Good Hotel and Stay overall and nice restaurant but terrible Valet experience…read more Our stay was comfortable and enjoyable and location is nice in middle of the downtown. The George Restaurant has good menu choices and we enjoyed our breakfast and dinner there. However, unfortunately, we had terrible experience with Valet service which is $55 per night billed to the hotel. On checkout they brought back damaged car. I contacted front desk and they asked to open a case with parking company that oversees valet operations. Valet has denied the responsibility after taking 10 days to review videos without sharing the pictures or videos. We are continuing to work with the hotel to see if they would resolve this issue as well as to get pictures. If they resolve the matter to our satisfaction, which I hope they do, I will update the review.

You arrive and get checked in at a visitor processing station. Then they show you videos and have a representative talk to you for 30 - 35 minutes about the plant and their products. You then boars trams (like the ones at, say, Disney World that shuttle you from the parking area to the main entrance). These take you through a couple of large manufacturing buildings to show you how the cars are assembled. There is no photography allowed once you are on the trams, understandably. I thought it was an interesting tour for a perspective on how cars are put together.

Tour was a dud! Several members of group showed up late. Aok. I understand things happen…read more However, we waited 1/2 of the full hour allotted to the tour waiting in the parking lot of the start of the tour. Disappointing to waste 1/2 the tour watching Cecily calling the missing parties while telling us stories about buildings and locations we hadn't even seen yet. I asked for a 50% refund but was told it wasn't approved. Highly disappointed!

Note that you can also park across Hwy 54 in the plaza devoted to county government offices. The museum is in the Holliday-Dorsey-Fife House, which has been on the site since before the Civil War. The main draws for the house are its history involving Doc Holliday (of OK Corral fame) and also its association with Margaret Mitchell and Gone With The Wind. When we visited we happened to be the only guests. We paid the $5 charge (apiece) and the guide, dressed in period costume, gave us a nice guided tour through about half of the ground floor rooms (mostly re: the Holliday family). We were then free to explore the rest of the house ourselves. There is a section on GWTW (Margaret Mitchell had family connections to the place and based some of the book on relatives from here). There is also a room dedicated to Fayette County history. Upstairs there are rooms showing furniture and clothes from the home's history and a veterans' / WWII room. There is also a room downstairs dedicated mostly to local Civil War events. This wouldn't necessarily appeal to everyone, and I doubt a lot of kids would be fascinated with it. However, if you have some connection with this area or are interested in any of the sub-sets of historical associations here, it is worth a stop. We enjoyed it.

My experience with this company has been absolutely horrible as relates to their response to our…read moreunpleasant experience with their bus service. We were provided a subpar 56 passenger bus that arrived 20 minutes late and broke down/overheated 2 hours into the trip. Our group was patient and understanding with this first couple of mishaps which caused us to arrive at our event an hour late. We are most thankful to the bus driver that worked diligently with one of our senior leaders which happens to also be a licensed CDL driver who rallied all of our men on the bus to assist with getting the bus positioned and filled with water to counter the bus overheating. We want to also send out a special thank you to the manager and staff at the Shell Gas Station store #2108 for being so gracious to go to a local store and purchase a water hose to assist us. Now you would think this was the end of the saga but this was only the beginning. Once we were back on the road. The back half of the bus was without air and the passengers began to complain about feeling heat emissions possibly from the engine causing it to be even hotter. As a result one of the passengers became ill and had to move to the very first seat to get air and was wrapped in a wet towel to bring her body temperature down. We arrived and we were told that the bus would be replaced by the time we left our event to go back to home. Once we finished with our event and go back to the bus we realize there has been no replacement. We are informed that we will drive this same bus to Birmingham where a replacement will be provided. Once we arrive we are told the bus is 20 minutes out. At 40 minutes waiting we are told it is 15 minutes out and once again after 30 waiting we are told it is 5 minutes out. When the bus finally arrives it has been nearly 2 hours of waiting in unfamiliar territory that was not the best side of town with mostly women with children and a few men. But even with all that the worst of it all is when we called to speak with the owner, he did not want to take any ownership or responsibility but in fact blamed it on the the skill and knowledge of his hired driver. Now I'm not the sharpest tool in the toolbox but even if it was some fault of the driver would that not still lie with the company? Anyway this was my experience and I only thought it my duty to express it.

TERRIBLE TERRIBLE TERRIBLE…read more When you hire any company, you by default EXPECT PROFESSIONALISM, PROMPTNESS, RELIABILITY AND A THOROUGH UNDERSTANDING OF HOW YOUR PRODUCT FUNCTIONS. Not with ATLANTA PREMIER CHARTERS‼‼ HERE IS THE BREAKDOWN OF WHAT WENT DOWN 1. They came later than the requested time specified in our contract 2. The driver was not in uniform nor in any clothing with company insignia on it which is an immediate indicator that either we are dealing with unprofessional people and or this was not the originally scheduled driver... 3. 2 hours into the trip the bus (according to driver) overheated and we had to pull off the interstate and waste over an hour at a gas station attempting to troubleshoot what was happening. What's worse is that the driver was clueless as to what was going on and some of the men had to assist and become hands on so that we wouldn't be stranded for an extended amount of time. 4. Half the bus was hot../the other half was cold leading to 2 people becoming overheated and having to be relocated for them to cool down to the front area of the bus. 5. We were late to our event!!! ALLOW ME THE SPACE TO REPEAT...WE WERE LATE TO OUR EVENT!!! 6. We were told we'd have a replacement bus for the ride back home but we didn't. We started the journey back on the same bus experiencing the same discomfort as we had heading to Memphis. 7. Roughly 2 hours from Atlanta we pulled off to a PILOT truck stop to swap buses. We were told the bus was. 20 minutes out which meant we all had to get off the bus, get our stuff and load it onto another bus....It showed up over an hour later(consider this ...it's after midnight in a foreign area with woman and children) We made it back to Atlanta after 5am in the morning and we should have been back much sooner now our driver (female) did all she could for us so our frustration lays not at her feet but at her management. You can tell they didn't have her back and have not effectively trained her for real time issues on the road. We thank her for all she did do to try and keep a bad situation from worsening Upon sharing our grievance with management (MYRIO LEMONS) he told us these things happen and had a "could care less type of attitude" about our experience. Instead of being accountable and apologetic and willing to compensate us for the extreme inconvenience due to his inability to manage effectively he simply stated it part of the business and was unwilling to meet us at the table to agree to reasonable compensation. Basically take the money and run.... It is the company's responsibility to train their drivers and to have a fully functioning fleet to ensure these type of occurrences are the exception and not the norm. If this is the kind of service you'd like to experience on your next church or family outing sure......book them But if you want attentiveness to your passengers needs, promptness, knowledgeable drivers and whatever else finds itself meshed into the foundation of a great company I'd advise you to check with their competitors BECAUSE ATLANTA PREMIER CHARTERS IS A MULTIPLE THUMBS DOWN One final mention.....the 2 buses we were in were not the buses he has advertised on his page. FALSE ADVERTISEMENT. The buses look aged and self painted. YOU HAVE BEEN ADVISED. SUPPORT HIS COMPETITORS
