• Good location.
• Rooms small and dated.

“The room was so small and dated, I felt like I was in a tuna can. I asked for a better room and they provided me, which was much larger, however, was still very dated.”

• The rooms were very large and comfortable. Beds luxurious. Hotel bar staff great fun!
• Front desk all but ignored us when we approached, both checking in and out. Garage very expensive.

“The Georgian Terrace was a beautiful hotel, very impressive first impression, almost. The front desk all but ignored us, even though there were 4 people. The room was very nice, comfortable and was very large. The only downfall, was parking on a sidestreet for a short time (Garage was expensive considering we were guests) the car window was broken and laptop stolen. Did not know it was a high drug area just a block away.”

• The Georgian Terrace is a beautiful mix of the historic and new. Public spaces are beautiful.
• Parking expense.

“The Georgian Terrace is excellent in all of these areas. The room I had was clean and comfortable. As with any hotel property, there were maintenance issues that I considered to be minor. Overall, my stay at the Georgian Terrace was very comfortable and enjoyable. I look forward to returning and would recommend this hotel to anyone visiting the Atlanta area.”

• The bellman was awesome and the front desk staff was great as well. Super friendly!
• Rooms need makeovers and better TVs, kind of cheap on the inside. With such a beautiful lobby, you would expect more from the room.

“The hotel is close to several different attractions and is one block from the Marta and it will take you just about anywhere. The bellmen are all awesome! Enjoyed our time there. The rooms need to be upgraded, but the view from the rooftop pool at nice is amazing. Overall a good time.”

• Location and helpful staff.
• No HBO or premium movie channel.

“Surprising suite, excellent size, good view of area - need better window treatments, especially in master bedroom- just a mini-blind on windows and not in good shape- seemed tacky compared to quality of total experience- same in second bedroom. Friendly and helpful staff.”

• Awesome location and the most historic hotel in Atlanta.
• Parking was really expensive and there were some weird people in hotel.

“Great hotel in general and the location was fantastic. The room was small though but since I was staying for one night it didn't matter. Complementary internet connection is great. Very busy though and the line to check in took forever. Some other guests were really weird in behavior but since I was alone didn't really matter. Staff was very friendly.”

• Location and big rooms.
• It was dirty and the hotel staff was rude and unhelpful!

“I visited the hotel with my partner for two nights to see the Musical Wicked. First impressions were good and check-in staff was helpful, however, the problems started when we got to our room. The furniture was worn out and the appliance in the kitchens and the in room laundry were disgusting. There was leftover food in the oven that smelled like it was there for days, stained carpet, wholes in the doors, scuff marks on the wall and just generally dirty and this was a corner three room suite. The next night we were asked to move, which we were happy to do because the room was so bad, the second room in the newer part of the hotel was much better but the interaction with the front desk was horrible, no apology or anything about the food in the oven and sent of the room and transferred me to a call center to handle the change of rooms who transferred me back to the front desk who hung up on me. Everything was okay once we moved rooms but the experience will prevent me from ever going back to this once famous Landmark Atlanta hotel.”

• Suite size was phenomenal with separate kitchen, living/dining rooms, large bathroom and full size washer and dryer.
• Did not have blackout curtains in bedroom or living room and business center only had 1 computer.

“A great location (close to shops/restaurants) plus a huge nicely furnished 1 bedroom suite with separate, bedroom, bathroom, living/dining room and large fully equipped kitchen. Full-sized washer and dryer was a pleasant surprise as was free internet access.”

• Location.
• Run down in areas of hotel.

“The hotel is in a great location for the Fox Theatre. The staff was friendly although the front desk person was a little cold at first. The windows in our room would not close all the way so the wind made a lot of noise throughout the night.”

“The room had only one small bed (possibly a full size). The hotel would not bring a roll away. Most staff was nice; the valet service was extremely poor and disrespectful to us.”

• Extremely courteous staff.

“The Georgian Terrace Hotel is a charming hotel in a historic Atlanta building. The staff is among the most courteous I have ever experienced - Southern hospitality at its finest! The hotel is conveniently located in mid-town Atlanta within a short distance of many Atlanta attractions. There are a variety of restaurants nearby ranging from coffee shops to elegant dining. I would definitely recommend the Georgian Terrace to other travelers visiting Atlanta whether on business or leisure travel.”

• Great location.
• The parking
  $25.00 per night.

“I am not sure who they are trying to attract, with upscale lobby, great location, nice big bed, but who needs a full kitchen and huge walk in closet in their regular spaced hotel room? Too much wasted space that could have been used for more guest sleeping/relaxing area. Very weird. The hallway to the room was dirty and stained but the room was fine.

“The hotel itself was beautiful, but the room that they put us in was really small, definitely did not meet the expectations of a 3 star hotel. They moved us to a bigger room that was amazing.”

• Price was perfect for a 3 star.
• This is not a 3-star hotel. It is a 2-star with attitude.

“Everything about my stay was a disappointment, except the price. The first room was a tiny corner room. It had no internet. After troubleshooting with the hotel's service provider for an hour, they ultimately concluded it was a hotel issue and to call the hotel engineer. Ultimately I had to change rooms. Second room was a converted closet. No lie. The room next to it was still in use as one! This meant that the next morning there was nonstop door slamming for an early morning wake up call. This room did have internet, it just took a while to find the wire connection conveniently located behind the headboard of the bed. My hope for a relaxing shower were dashed--no hot water. I couldn't even have a soothing cocktail. There were no glasses, just plastic cups (which I didn't think were used by 3-star hotels). Next morning, still no hot water! Complained to front desk and asked if I was doing it correctly! Huge hassles and long delays with the valet as they don't accept calls to bring cars around in advance. Invited a flight attendant friend over to confirm that I wasn't over-reacting. Confirmed that this was not close to a 3-star property. On check-out I informed the disinterested clerk of the cumulative problems with my experience. Was told that that were remodeling--including new mattresses and drapes. None of my rooms were remodeled. This may have been a grand hotel once but they have let it slide into the sloppy category.”

• The front desk staff was good.
• The parking was absolutely horrible. The parking attendants were horrible. The pricing for the parking was horrible.

“When I pulled up, the parking attendant was rude. They did not attempt to provide any level of customer service. The ceiling in the bathroom was water damaged and looked terrible. It came with a kitchen, but they wanted to charge to get pots, pans or silverware to use. That's like providing a bed and charging for linen! I felt nickel and dime at every turn.”

• Good location.
• They were overbooked, and made us wait several hours until they told us.

“The Georgian Terrace was a nice historic hotel located in the heart of Midtown Atlanta. The problem was that we never saw the inside of the room as they were overbooked and sent us to the Wyndham several blocks away. We arrived at The Georgian Terrace early, around 1pm. They informed us that our room was being cleaned, and would not be ready until 3pm. After checking our bags, we walked down the street and had lunch and a few drinks. We walked back to The Georgia Terrace around 3:30 pm, and were shocked to see a line of about 30 disgruntle people. It was obvious that the hotel was overbooked, some people were being turned away. Since we had already checked in, we were not worried about our room. After waiting in line for over an hour (probably close to 2 hrs,) the front desk attendant informs us that they do not have a room for us and suggested the Wyndham down the street. The Wyndham was old, dirty, rundown, and further from Midtown Atl. It had obviously just been taken over by Wyndham since the it was marked with a temporary cloth sign draped over the entrance way. It was awful. We were never compensated for the inconvenience, the parking fees incurred at both hotels, or the downgrade in the room itself.”

“This experience was a disaster for such a short trip. There was an hour wait to check in with no explanation as to why. The staff was rude and unfriendly. Apparently, the hotel had been overbooked. I needed 2 beds in my room and this hotel only has one in each room. I could go on and on about how horrible this experience was. I would not stay there again.”

• The hotel was beautiful, and conveniently located to downtown Atlanta.

“Overall, it was a very positive stay. I was pleasantly surprised with the hotel's look, and the room was adequate (with a great view of Atlanta). I was disappointed that the bed only had two pillows, and called down to room service after the first night to request two more. When I got back that night and they hadn't arrived, I called the front desk and was assured that two more pillows would be brought up. They still never arrived. This was very disappointing, but did not ruin the overall impression of the hotel. I was pleased with my stay.”

• It was in a central location to what we were doing.
• Uncomfortable beds, no ice machines, staff did not speak English well enough to communicate.

“It was in a good location and it was pretty, but the hotel staff didn't speak English and were rude. Also, we understood that breakfast was free (due to poor English on the part of the hotel staff) and then charged us $14 a person. There were no ice machines on any of the floors and I had to walk to the bar and ask for ice when I got thirsty. Also, we were charged $25 a night for parking. I thought that was tacky!”

• Older property with lots of history right across the street from the Fox Theater, excellent exercise room and romantic rooftop pool and view of city.
• Had to pay to park in adjacent parking garage, $22 overnight or hourly rate. Room was a bit dated and in need of some minor upgrades. Street noise.

“Nice older hotel (built in 1911) with lots of history, located right across the street (Peachtree St) from the Fox Theater. Common areas inside and exterior are lovely, however room was a bit dated and in need of some minor upgrades. Our room only had one full sized bed which was too springy and cramped for 2 people to sleep well. We were on the 14th floor but still heard lots of street noise (honking, people shouting, and sirens) during the night, especially Saturday. Nice view of city from window and even better view from rooftop common area (also where a very nice pool was located) and top floor gym (very nice equipment). Lots of boutiques and eateries (moderate to fairly expensive) within walking distance.”

“The hotel is nice but we had trouble 3 of the 5 days getting towels. The maid would never leave face towels then it would take all day for them to bring some up. The parking is $22 per day min and if you go in and out a few times it will be way more. $8 per in and out. If I would have known I would have to come out of another $25 per night on parking I would have just gone to a 4 star hotel.”

• Great historical character.
• Hallway and surrounding rooms were crowded with workmen into the wee hours of the night.

“The staff was pleasant and friendly but we had to interrupt workmen and work through construction materials to get into our room. The room was spacious and very romantic, but the water was Luke warm and the free internet service was nonfunctional. I am grateful that we were tired and can sleep through almost anything because the workmen were making noise into the wee hours of the night. On top of that the parking cost us an additional twenty two fifty.”

• I did not like parking $25, ridiculous nor did I like the towel change. Never enough for 2 guests.

“I loved the look and feel of the hotel. Parking was horrible though way over priced. $25 plus and additional hourly rate. I also did not like the maid service. Never had enough towels and cloths for two people, each night had to call for one or the other. But giving all aspects I would stay there again.”
