I hadn't been to this hotel since the year it opened (1985) when I was 10 years old! I was back this past week for a long weekend to attend the Florida-Georgia football game at nearby Mercedes Benz Stadium. The lobby and public areas were well kept and modern. The Starbucks was bustling and seemed very efficient. We didn't partake of any other dining or drinking options on-site.The parking circle/valet dropoff was a crush of humanity most of the weekend but the staff kept things moving. However, unless your company's expense policy allows for it, skip the $67/night cartel-pricing valet and find a cheaper option. We found 221 Peachtree Center, a block south of the hotel, for $18/night. No in-out privileges for that one, but with your location and Ubers/Waymos, you won't miss driving yourself around. The fitness center had all the amenities you'd expect at a big-city large-format hotel, including spa treatments (I didn't partake). I wish there was more room for stretching, but that's the only negative I could find there.The pool is an indoor-outdoor hybrid with retractable glass roof, which is helpful for those *cold* winter months. I made a point to visit the pool each day of my visit; the water temperature was 92-93 degrees each day, which felt amazing and therapeutic for exercise/laps. This was my favorite amenity by a mile.As for our room, I know there have been a couple of renovations since '85, but there were aspects that looked quite dated. The bathroom in our room was tiny and had pocket doors that looked old and worn. The beds were comfortable but very *low* to the ground with hard bases that jutted out from the mattresses, which could catch your leg if you're not looking. There were no drawers for storing clothes, only cabinets for hanging them. We did have a standard mini-fridge, which helped keep our bottled waters cool (you won't have room for much else, at least we didn't).I used my phone as a mobile key, which generally worked after a few attempts at my room door and on the elevators. You have to badge in to select your floor but I couldn't select a floor other than my own -- a reasonable security measure, but annoying if you want to visit friends on other floors. I wish Marriott would let you export your room key to Apple Wallet like some other chains offer; you have to use it via their Bonvoy app. All things considered, it was better than remembering plastic keys.You can't beat the location, close to MB Stadium, Centennial Olympic Park, Aquarium, GWCC, MARTA to airport, etc. Ubers to the fun spots a little further out (Midtown, VA-HI, Buckhead) range from $20-40 non-surge. I didn't pay for my stay, but I would look for deals if I was to come back. IMO a standard $300-plus or more per night for a big-city hotel is a lot to ask for this property unless the rooms are modernized/enlarged. All things considered, the hotel is convenient and has some very nice amenities, but the rooms could use some TLC. And did I mention skip the valet unless your company pays for it?

This place is the worst dump I’ve ever stayed in - worse than an airport hotel. It was filthy - the carpet looked like it hadn’t been vacuumed in months, hair on the floor, stains everywhere. Both nights I was there there was no hot water. I was booked here as part of a group and I couldn’t leave my team, otherwise I would have immediately left for anyplace else. I was told it hadn’t been updated since the Olympics - I don’t know if that’s true but it certainly felt that way!!!

My stay was amazing shout too Philip great customer service and everyone I account the hotel was great too

I’m only giving five stars because of 3 factors: my check in rep, the hotel chat person and Lidia at check out. Those 3 showed the Marriott level of service that their phone reps (and some front desk at this hotel) totally lacked.I’m a titanium member and stay in Marriott properties every week. This particular trip was work related to support an event for my company. Because the hurricane Isaias the event was cancelled and we were told to return home for which I called the front desk to request our check out a day earlier. With some dismissive tone the agent (oct 10 9 pm) told me “sure, come tomorrow in the am and the manager would try”. That was not too convincing so I call Marriott and after 30 minutes they confirmed that I was not going to be charged for my last night if I checked out by 11 am.Well… I saw some issues coming so I asked the agent (Claudia) to please leave notes and to share with the hotel. Well today everything that I did the night before (October 10th) didn’t matter, front desk over the phone told me that there were any notes, the Marriott (and her supervisor) were the opposite of helpful, telling me that they can see the notes but that they didn’t know or have a way to share with the hotel…My last resort was simply showing at the front desk and explain for the 4th time…. There was Lidia and the entire experience changed: friendly, respectful and supportive. She listened, understood my reason (the hurricane) and apparently she saw some of the notes but I’m more sure. Long story short, those 3 individuals made the experience from 1 star to a full 5 star (the hotel is fabulous and their brunch is next level).So I hope you get the employees I got, I also hope Lidia gets the recognition (or a promotion) because she truly showed what world class service to your most loyal customers looks like.

The hotel is incredible, the staff amazing, the executive lounge is wonderful! I had a great experience. My room was beautiful and spacious. My only recommendation is to make more signs or a little map. There are three lobby floors and finding the fitness center was an adventure! I loved this hotel. My other note is the water pressure is poor almost non existent! Overall amazing!
