• Location was what I wanted. Great and close to Georgia Tech.
• Room was needing a few fix-ups. Bathroom was bare, no vanity to put your toiletries on.

“Hotel had a great location. Parking was extra. Room was OK, probably given to us because we paid through another route. I would think the other rooms were much nicer. Had a small kitchen, but no cutlery or dishes. Nothing in the drawers. Bedding was very nice. Housekeeping "missed" our room, so we had to ask for extra towels.”

• The lobby and staff were very nice.
• The room had peeling paint, worn wallpaper, and damaged furniture.

“The staff was pleasant and helpful, and the lobby, gym, and pool were extremely nice looking and new. Unfortunately, while the room was clean, it was not in good condition. I would never recommend this hotel to any one due to the room I was in, having peeling paint, faded wallpaper, and damaged furniture. The blinds were broken and the curtains did not close. The public areas were 3.5 stars; the room was only 2 stars at best.”

• The beautiful architecture and furnishings were impeccable.

“The room was absolutely immaculate. A beautiful living room with a large flat screen television, a kitchen and a large bedroom! The bedroom was even round in shape which was great for the six large windows that overlooked the city. The bedroom even had a large flat screen television. Very nice! The rooftop pool really gave way to some spectacular views.”

• The location was great and in close proximity to theaters and restaurants.
• The parking was a pain and very costly and the room was dated

“The Georgian Terrace is a nice hotel and boasts a great location and nice sized rooms. However, the parking is horrible and very costly. In addition, the rooms were dated and the beds were not the best. Overall, it is a nice place to stay. The customer service is so-so. The staff was not rude but they certainly do go out of their way either. I will probably choose a more modern hotel if I visit again.”

• The rooms are huge with a full kitchen and washer and dryer.
• Furnishings (with the exception of the bed) are a bit shabby.

“We were completely surprised when the room had a full kitchen, extra room and washer and dryer. This hotel is right in the middle of downtown across from the Fox Theater and convenient to all downtown attractions. Perfect for the business traveler or tourist. The staff is friendly and helpful. The only complaint I have is the furnishings are a little run down, with the exception of the bed which was well furnished and comfortable.”

• The pool was not advertise. We would have known had we not accidental got off on the penthouse level.

• Beautiful architecture, rooftop pool, excellent work-out room.
• Somewhat shabby sleeping rooms.

“This is a beautiful and historic building, with a lovely lobby and extremely helpful staff. However, the condition of the room we stayed in required repair and some structural updating. The decor was lovely, and the rooms well-apportioned (the in-room washer and dryer was a plus!), but the blinds were broken and bent, and more than one door/trim pieces were visibly broken. It's a lovely building and the rooftop pool is striking, but more attention needs to be paid to maintenance.”

• It has the most beautiful view in the swimming pool area. It was clean and just an all around beautiful place. The staff was so friendly.
• They charge for everything. A bottle of water that I can get for a dollar and change was $6.00.

“Very nice place for romance or business. The TV was as big as the room. The pool wasn't even usable because of construction which they should have given a discount for. Parking was too high and should have been complimentary. But the staff was great and it has the most beautiful view.”

• Location and history.
• Room felt stripped down. HVAC swung from extreme hot to cold.

“Hotel lobby under construction. Staff at desk was
unfriendly. Housekeeping unresponsive to request for second pillow/guest and required room service at cost. No ice without using room service. AC freezing at times and hot at others no matter where thermostat was set.”

• Large room, great beds.
• Lobby is a construction zone.

“Good room, great beds. Overwhelmed desk staff, horrible customer service. The TV's in the room are new flat screens, but inexplicably only receive fuzzy analog cable stations! A $10 antenna would give them several crystal clear, free digital HD channels. Only 2 small elevators in service and lobby are all torn up. Had to deal with loud noises and flying debris every time I passed through the lobby. I really think I could like this hotel if the lobby wasn't under construction and the staff was more helpful. The BEST thing is the location, with the Fox Theater and a great 24-hour diner right across the street.”

• 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.”

• 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.”

• 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.”

• 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.

• 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.”
