• 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.”

• Large Rooms.
• Parking cost and horrible maid service.

“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.”

• Ambiance and convenience to Atlanta's cultural sites!
• I would have loved to have been able to use roof top pool after dark! Parking prices were high.

“The restored historic Georgian Terrace hotel in downtown Atlanta is the absolute best! The ambiance is exquisite and the ability to dine on the porch directly across from the front entrance to the Fox Theater is splendid. The only hotel I will ever stay at again when visiting Atlanta!”

• The roof top pool and staff were both excellent.
• Twice the maid forgot to replace the towels, had to call for them.

“All of the staff was exceptional, welcoming, and go out of their way to make your stay comfortable. Historic, comfortable hotel with elegance that is often missing today.”

• I loved the location and the decor of public areas.
• 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.”

• Beautiful, old and elegant. Staff was great. My bed was a memory foam type and dreamy.
• A standard room is small but I expected this, also had a small suite and it was very spacious.

“I would definitely stay there again. Close to MARTA, good restaurants and entertainment. The area is safe but there are some annoying street folks that are more than eager to help you (for tips) but this was no worse than being in a resort area and having time share pitches. Never felt threatened.”

• Location, cleanliness.
• The room was too small.

“I've stayed at this hotel at least a half dozen times and have always a large efficiency type room. I barely had room to iron my clothes - I had to move furniture to squeeze in an ironing board. That room was a total disappointment. I asked for a king and the front desk clerk told me no even though one was available. Very disappointing. It's too bad too, all of my other experiences here were ok, not this time. They also need to update the rooms. It's ok to have a historic hotel, but upgrade the rooms and amenities.”

• Location.
• Cleanliness of room was abysmal.

“This hotel's location is prime, but this is about all it has to offer. The bathroom in our room was dirty. Hair in the bathtub, floors and vanity were not cleaned. Even though they said housekeeping had cleaned the room. They had to send an engineer to our room 4 times because the AC was not working. The only apology we received was that they are currently being bought out and remodeling in the future was planned. So what? That didn't help us! The worse thing about this hotel is that there were no ice machines/vending machines! If you needed something to drink, you must leave the hotel and go to the store. This was most inconvenient.”

• Very poor customer service. Clerk was rude.

“I would not recommend anyone stay at this hotel. It is rated as upscale, perhaps 20 yrs ago, but now it is outdated. The rooms smelled molded and old. The carpet was dirty, my socks were black from walking on dirty carpet. The clerk who checked us in was rude and not helpful and non caring. I have stayed at many hotels and this was a 1st for me. Over all satisfaction, not good. The bed was comfortable, that would have to be the only positive experience I had.”

“The Georgian Terrace is a beautiful old hotel in midtown Atlanta. The staff is super friendly. The room was a bit small, the sheets were clean, but stained. Definitely time for renovations. Carpets stained in hallways, tub had been refinished, but was peeling. Wallpaper peeling in spots in bathroom.”

“The hotel was wonderful. My specific complaints: mold in shower; only metal mini blinds for windows and these had taken abuse; no desk; air conditioner was governed, although I lowered the thermostat as much as possible there was no difference in temp of room; due to lack of curtains I was unable to keep heat out of room; for an upscale hotel, I thought it unusual they would blast rap music in the middle of the day; walls were bare of any art/prints etc. very sterile and monochrome;.”

• It was clean and atractive old hotel.
• Our bed and room was so small for 2 people. We never slept.

“When we saw our room and the size of the bed we realised that we will never be able to sleep as 2 persons on the bed. I called the Lobby and asked for a bigger room or a room with a Queen bed, this was the responce- You booked a standard room and that is what you get.They refused to give us another room although I knew they could have done it. Needles to say we never slept that night.”

“This hotel was on the registry for historic places. The staff was very helpful and friendly. The hotel lobby was beautiful. The large pool on the roof was very nice and clean.

• Porch overlooking Peachtree Road at the restaurant was nice.
• Front desk staff was slow and parking was $25.00 per day.

“When you first enter the hotel you are pleased with the decor and surroundings. However, if there are a few people in front of you checking in, don't be surprised if you have to wait a while. The staff was quite slow and didn't really appear to be concerned about the long line of patrons who were waiting to check in. The rooms are fairly nice and the beds comfortable, if you like the memory foam mattresses. There is a nice porch at the restaurant that overlooks Peachtree Street right across from the Fox Theater. My overall experience was nice, but it could have been better. In addition, they forget to tell you that it costs $25.00 per day to park in the garage.”

• Good Internet, Spacious rooms.
• Outside city noise slightly annoying. Parking overpriced.

“The hotel is beautiful and the staff Friendly. A few complaints: There was no plug for the tub (A common problem in almost every hotel I stay at.) There was a broken cabinet in the kitchen. I was not aware I would have to pay $25 to park my car. They had a Tempurpedic mattress, which I thought would be a nice extravagance in comfort, but instead turned out to retain heat and it was very hot to sleep. The room was not soundproof and the noise from the city streets was annoying to those not used to sleeping with cars honking outside the window. Despite these small complaints the hotel was very nice if you are used to sleeping in a city upscale hotel.”

• Great historic but updated hotel in the heart of Midtown Atlanta.
• The room was comfortably furnished but New York City sized with a full bed.

“Couldn't ask for a better location on Peachtree in Midtown Atlanta. The hotel has been recognized for its historic nature, but has modern furnishings. The lobby was beautifully done, the roof top pool was a great touch along with the exercise facility. Staff was very good, valet service fairly pricey at $25 a night. The only thing that could have been improved was the room. It was well decorated and newly furnished. I had a very small room (12x12 maybe) that had a full size bed, two side tables, a floor lamp, chair and ottoman, another small table and armoire crammed in it.”

• Coffee pot dirty, vending machines broken, door didn't work properly.

“The Georgian Terrace is a beautiful hotel with a rich history in the perfect location on Peachtree Street in Midtown Atlanta. The food in the Savoy, the hotel restaurant, was excellent but the service could be stepped up. We were disappointed by the dirty coffee pot, with the old filter, a door that required a maintenance man and vending machines that were either empty or that took our money. The bed was overly bouncy, too. Those few things tainted an otherwise lovely experience. The bell captain was happy to hold our bags for us after we checked out. We arrived early and the staff allowed us to check in several hours early at no additional cost. The view was great for the cost. The gym was outstanding and had it been warmer we would have swam in the roof-top pool. The lobby was gorgeous and the location fantastic.”

“Nice hotel, great location. Not a good hotel if you are into hurrying around. It is more of a laid back environment. Room was incredibly small and the fact that it only was available with one bed made for an awkward stay with travel companion.”
