• Good location for attending concerts at Phillips Arena.
• Rooms are very nice, but very noisy, didn't sleep well.

“The hotel was nice and had lots of conveniences. We went to a concert at Phillips Arena, and it was nice to have restaurants and bars in the hotel. It was nice to walk over to the arena and not have to worry about cabs before and after the concert. The staff was very helpful and friendly. The only complaint we had was the noise level at night, it was hard to sleep. I will stay there again.”

• Cleanliness and convenience.
• Logistically a bit confusing at first.

“I have stayed at the Omni at CNN Center several times. Each time it has been consistently clean and the staff was friendly and helpful. The location is very convenient to the Americas Mart. I would recommend this hotel to anyone.”

• Walking distance to GA Dome (Chick-Fil-A Bowl).
• Valet parking at check-out was incredibly pitiful!

“All of the above positive ratings. However, the valet parking situation at check-out was the worst ever. We waited in line for our vehicle for 1hr and 45minutes! No apologies from hotel staff, apparently this occurs every time there is an 'event' in the Downtown Atlanta area. Should be a computerized system in place which would allow guests to stay in their room, lobby, etc, and wait (in comfort) to be notified that their vehicle is available. Rumor in the long wait line was that vehicles were parked all over Downtown, not just in hotel garage. The fee for so called 'valet' parking was $25/night, way too pricey for the service provided.”

• Location - Was able to walk wherever I needed to go.
• Valet Parking - I had to pay $25 to wait in line for over an hour to get my car!

“I enjoyed my stay very much. Maybe next time, they will figure out that on New Year's Day there's going to be a lot of people trying to leave at the same time. Maybe they will staff the Valet Parking accordingly next time.”

• It was in the perfect location. We went to the peach bowl at the Georgia Dome. I think this is the closest hotel to the dome. It was just perfect!
• We loved everything!

“We were in Atlanta to see the Peach bowl at the Georgia Dome. The hotel was right there. The location is just perfect! We were also a block from the aquarium. Our room had a balcony overlooking Olympic park. Of course the room and hotel was very nice, but the location can not be beat. If you stay here you will not be disappointed!”

• Location and low price. Was clean and nice.
• Too many loud partiers on the hall up until 4:00 a.m. However, it was New Years Eve so I did not complain.

“Great Hotel. Very nice and clean. Friendly staff. Great location for any event in downtown Atlanta. The only negatives were no indoor pool and loud partiers up until late on the hall. It was New Years Eve so I didn't complain.”

• Location was the only upside.
• Smoke came in through the vents.

“Overall, stay at the Westin even if it is less convenient. We had a smoke-free room until cigarette smoke came in through the vents in heavy volume. The valet was a combination joke and disaster. I have seen nicer rooms in a Marriot in the 90's.”

• I loved that we could park our car when we got there and didn't need it until we left! We walked everywhere.
• Too busy for me. I prefer something a little less hectic.

“We thought the hotel was beautiful and enjoyed the location. The staff was all very nice and helpful. We enjoyed the food court downstairs and the CNN tour. The room was nice but we had 4 burnt out light bulbs and one evening the water from the sink was brown. I know it was a busy weekend with New Years, the chik-fil-a bowl and a concert in town but for that type of hotel I felt they should pay more attention to details. Overall the stay was great and we would stay there again. Just not on New Years weekend with kids!”

• Attached to CNN center, close to Georgia Dome.
• Valet parking awful. It took us over an hour to receive our car after checkout.

“I probably would have rated this hotel a 10 all the way if not for my experience with the valet parking. I had to stand in line for 30 minutes to turn in my ticket at the valet desk and then it was at least another 30 minutes of waiting out in the cold before my car arrived. Other than that, great hotel.”

• The hotel rooms are beautiful.
• The hotel management was not organized for a big event.

“We went to this hotel for New Year's Eve and the Peach Bowl. Good hotel. Good housekeeping. Although the hotel itself is beautiful and well maintained - it became clear that the management did not have the situation under control. One would think that since they are located next to the Georgia Dome and Phillips Arena they would realize that this situation was going to happen ahead of time. In the meantime, the coffee shop ran out of pastries, because everyone wanted coffee that morning? We also asked for a non-smoking room and had peopled smoking drinking and laughing in the hallway all night. Someone down the hall apparently complained, but they stopped for a few minutes and went back to what they were doing when security left.”

• Good location to GA Dome.
• Bed was a bit stiff.

“We had plans to attend the CFA Bowl at the GA Dome on New Year's Eve, and this is the closest hotel to the Dome. It is in a great location to the Dome, Phillips Arena, Centennial Park, CNN Building, and the GA World Congress Center. There is a food court at the CNN Building, which is attached to the South Tower (where we stayed), and the Prime Meridian had an excellent breakfast.”

• Gorgeous location and view. Beautiful building.
• Large banging sound that wakes you right up, approximately once every hour, all night long.

“The hotel was beautiful, right in the heart of Downtown Atlanta overlooking the Olympic Park in the CNN Building. I know it was beautiful, because I got woken up every hour with what sounded like a large metal trash can being slammed against my door about every hour, all night long.”

• Comfortable bed and room.
• I did hear reports of roaches from other guests; coffee maker was not in an inconvenient place in room breakfast was lack luster.

“This is a comfortable hotel, fairly convenient to a quiet Marta station, although the lack of activity at the station was a little uncomfortable in the evening for a single woman. The room was comfortable and bathroom amenities were fine. The soaps and shampoos were of good quality. I had breakfast delivered to the room which was a mistake, I would at least have expected the juice to be fresh squeezed for the price I paid and the coffee was awful. My second morning there, I took advantage of the CNN food court and had a much cheaper and satisfying breakfast. The staff at the hotel was friendly and helpful and checks in and check out were very easy.”

• The location was great as we did the can tour and walked to world of coke.
• I thought the $25 parking charge was too high.

“The hotel was in a great location, just a short drive from our downtown destination. It was also great to be right at can for the tour and we walked thru the park to see world of coke and did not need to move the car numerous times. Room was attractive, clean and very quiet. I will stay here again on my next visit to Atlanta.”

• Close to my points of interest.
• No self parking available. $25 dollar a night valet only. Not very convenient.

“Almost half the price of what I heard another person quote for their bill. I do not like the fact that they require you to use their valet parking. Either that or park at a garage down the street and walk back and forth to the hotel. This is the route I took. I paid $10 for the entire weekend, parking down the road and walking back and forth to my destinations. The valet parking for the same days would have cost $50. Most hotels, in my experience, allow free parking. I don't think I will stay at this facility again.”

• Comfy beds.
• Valet parking stinks - long waits for car!

“Overall the hotel was quite nice. The location was excellent - within easy walking distance of major Atlanta area attractions. My one major complaint of the hotel would be the parking. The only option is $25/night valet parking. I don't mind paying the money for the night, but each morning I waited 30-45 minutes to have my car retrieved. I would have rather been able to get my own car and be on my way. The one saving grace was the manager deducted the cost of the parking upon complaint.”

“The hotel was great. The hotel would have scored excellent, but the hotel's concierge recommended Hard Rock Cafe, a cliché', as a good restaurant. We had to go to the hotel's bartender and ask for restaurant recommendations. Based on his recommendations, we went to Rays in the City and enjoyed excellent seafood and wine. Overall, our experience at the Omni in Atlanta July 4, 5 was excellent.”

• It was close to Turner Field.
• There was mandatory $25 valet parking, which was not advertised.

“The hotel was OK and had a good little shopping center on the ground floor. The room was nice also. However, they denied us a late check out, the pool and Jacuzzi closed by the time we got back from the baseball game so we didn't get a chance to go to them. I don't like valet parking. It's not because of the money, I just don't like someone else driving my vehicle period. If it had been my vehicle instead of my girlfriend's, I would not have let them take it. They should inform you that there is mandatory valet parking when you make the reservation. I'll skip this hotel next time for sure.”
