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.
