• Location.
• Flies in room, no air conditioning in lobby and halls.

“A horrible experience- from the very start- gave our king room away- had to plead for 30 min. for a king- no latch on bathroom door- air conditioning not working in main areas- dirty, disgusting excuse for hotel- mean front desk staff- came home to dirty room.”

• Convenient to many Atlanta attractions.
• Not a very kid friendly place to stay, but fine for business travelers.

“This hotel, conveniently located in Decatur, GA provides convince when staying in the Atlanta area. We were able to go to all the major sights in downtown Atlanta via a short walk to the train station. Other sites were just a short drive away. The hotel was clean and well maintained. The pool area was a little run down and they charge extra for parking. The accommodations were excellent and the hotel lobby and common areas were very clean.”

• We loved the location - Fern bank was close to the hotel as well as many good places to eat!
• I felt kind of trapped inside the room and didn't really like the window looking over the lobby.

“The overall hotel was impressive. Although we didn't get to use the pool, it was very nice and clean. Parking so far away with a 2 year old was not ideal, but it was do-able!”

• Excellent location, comfortable accommodations.
• Parking fees $9/night.

“Older hotel, great location in Decatur. Room showing wear but clean. Great staff. Only complaint was the $9/night parking fee. This should be included in the price or at least shown as an add-on. WiFi is free and worked well. Hotel is surrounded by restaurants of many types/prices so there is no need to eat in the hotel itself. Would definitely stay there again.”

• Location.
• NO natural light! The "window" opens to the atrium.

“The location is great. I could easily get to any part of Atlanta and downtown Decatur makes for a quick meal or nice stroll. The room was decently clean but everything in the room felt very old and worn. Worst part. The window opens to the atrium! No natural light in the room! This also means if the lobby/atrium/restaurant was loud, so was the room. I definitely did not think this hotel deserved three stars.”

• Staff was rude, fire alarm at 4 AM.

“This hotel was really struggling. There were not very many guests there. The front desk staff was very rude and unfriendly. There was a false fire alarm at 4 AM that lasted 15 minutes. A guy was getting busted by police in the lobby late at night, just before that. Other than that, the rooms were nice and the whole place was very clean.”

• Rooms were comfortable, electronics all worked, pool was good for kids.
• Free breakfast for kids is misleading; they only allow the child one food item.

“The buffet breakfast was good. Restaurant area is open and close to the front door so cold air came in frequently and cooled food down too fast. Kids breakfast was not free. We were glad they gave us a parking pass because it would have been expensive to pay to park per day. Rooms were comfortable overall but the double beds were too small. Would have preferred 2 queen beds. Option of down pillows was good. Bathroom was good with nice hot shower.”

• Friendly staff.
• The temperature in the room was not comfortable. We had maintenance in 3 times to work on ac system but it was never fixed.

“I will try this hotel again, but will make sure the air conditioning is working 100% before we unpack suitcases. The room was pretty, bed and pillows comfortable, but we can not say we enjoyed our stay because of the heat/ac system not working right. When we complained at the front desk, another hotel guest who was standing behind me spoke up and said her ac was also not working. Hope this isn't a problem in every room.”

“The hotel staff could not have been less helpful when it came to knowing information about what was available in the hotel. Holiday Inns for the most part should not be rated as 3 star hotels. My guest and I had to warm up some food and asked the concierge and they stated they advised us to ask the dining representative. We asked that person and they stated the microwave had been broken for months, for months!”

• The Lobby was the only thing 3 star about this hotel.
• The rooms smelled old and musky, the tile in bathroom was moldy and unclean. Sheets had a lipstick stain. Elevator smelled.

“This hotel should be considered a 2 star. It is old and dumpy, the lobby fools you into thinking it is classy. The 1st impression is the room doors- nice old rusty doorknobs with chipped paint. The room smelled old and musky, carpet turned my white socks black. Bathroom was moldy and dirty. Very few television channels. They charge you $7.00 to park when the public pays 5.00”

• I was not greeted at the front desk when I came in I had to make the first gesture.

“It was a good deal for what I paid the hotel was a bit dated but clean enough the front desk people could have been a little friendlier but I was given free parking since I was going to leave so early in the morning.”

• I loved the location.
• No continental breakfast. Breakfast was 11 dollars!

“The Holiday Inn Decatur was the perfect location. It was two blocks from the Marta station, which took us downtown in 12 minutes. There were lots of small pubs and shops around, and a Starbucks a short walk away. The only negatives were that you had to pay for parking and there was no free breakfast offered (as with other Holiday Inns).”

• Both microwave and refrigerator were in the room. Very important for my daughter's special diet.
• Entrance from parking garage seemed dirty and dingy. Pool looked like it needed cleaning. Too dark in the room.

“Very nice fitness room, with several machines. Well lit business (computer) room. Hotel staffs were very helpful and friendly. Overall impression is that it is past its glory days. Maybe needs new lighting or new carpet, or other updates.”

• Staff was very friendly. Very helpful when room was to cold.
• Room was to plan and only a chair to sit on besides sitting on bed. For the price should have had a couch or something else to sit on while relaxing.

“Staff was very nice when asked something very polite with their answers and for use staying in so many hotels this one had a great staff. Room needs a little help for people that want to relax and sit and watch TV. Sitting on the bed is not a relaxing thing. For the price they need to add a couch or a few relaxing chairs to their rooms for people that like to relax at the end of a busy day. But other then that it was a nice place to stay. If we should ever go back there we would stay there. I give the staff an A+.”

• Elevators shabby, hallways rundown, pool closed.

“I would definitely stay here again if the price were right. Stayed 4 nights great restaurants, eclectic shopping. Quiet. Business traveler friendly. They bumped me up to 5th floor executive level without being asked. I write that tongue in cheek because truly there was nothing executive about it, but it was a nice thought and it was appreciated by me. Room had a mini fridge and microwave.”

• Extremely helpful and friendly receptionist.
• No natural light whatsoever in the room, very old facility.

“This hotel may have been nice when first built, but it has not been kept up. Questionable elevators, peeling paint, stained carpets are all evidence of poor upkeep. Also, half the rooms face the lobby of the hotel, which means no natural light (and poor electric light to boot). The gym, being adjacent to the pool, was uncomfortably hot and humid.”

“This hotel is a good hotel for business meetings. The staff is very friendly and the lobby area is attractive. The rooms are old and outdated. The beds are rock hard and the pillows are lumpy. The wall paper is also peeling off the wall. The parking deck is hard to find and the spaces are built for compact cars. This is not a 3 star hotel.”
