Hotels near Georgia International Plaza, Atlanta

Used this hotel as a base to explore Atlanta and locations further out in North Georgia. I was travelling alone so tended to spend a lot of time in the room of an evening. I would say it was a fairly average experience and things were fine but I had expected a little more from the Sheraton brand. Photographs of communal areas like bars, restaurants and pool look far better online than they do in real life. Simply put, the hotel looks a lot nicer in pictures. My room had a slightly stale smell but the biggest issue I had with the aircon/heater. I couldn't change the temperature because it was broken and it couldn't seem to be fixed. Sadly that meant it was never quite right, either too cold or too hot and I had an engineer visit the room two or three times. One night, the mental cover panel hadn't been reattached properly and fell off in the night - unsurprisingly giving me an almighty scare! I don't remember being offered a new room (I *could* be wrong about that) and I don't particularly remember the desk staff being keen to help and get the issues sorted. In fact, they didn't seem delighted whenever anyone went to speak to them. Almost like the front desk was just part of their day job and they were juggling several other things - so probably not their fault. That did change in the evening when they seemed to have friends visiting in the lobby - music playing from phones and loud conversations. This didn't massively bother me, but I could see it being intimidating for someone looking to visit the front desk. Location was close enough to the tourist district (Centenntial Park, World of Coca-Cola etc) to walk but the area around the hotel feels a little run down. I'm never one complain about situations that can't be helped, but I think this hotel may be local to a homeless shelter and that meant quite a few people pitching very near the hotel. I don't think there was one occasion coming to and from the hotel on foot when I wasn't approached for money/food etc. One of these times was slightly nervy as the man became quite insistent and aggressive when I said I couldn't help. Generally, and this may be just me not feeling confident and knowing the area, I don't always feel ”safe” walking back to the hotel after dark. That may just be me! Lots of food options nearby though, so well located for that. Had a rental car and the parking facilities are good. All in all, it was fine but I've stayed at far nicer Sharatons and the pictures available perhaps offer a higher impression than the reality. With a little more effort and sharpening up service, customers would feel much more welcome. The aircon and heater issue was a frustration and I didn't really feel like it was taken very seriously. I personally wouldn't stay again as I like to spend time at my hotel but it was certainly a cheaper option than other hotels in the area, so it would be good for someone using it purely as a base looking for value for money.

Very friendly staff, check-in/out super smooth. The room was comfortable but super noisy : it faces one of the main “interstate?” or Atlanta ring and noise insulation is very poor. One would expect better for such hotel. Location is great… building quality should be better.

Booked a stay for an Elton John concert. First time staying at this property. Room was nice, location was great. But really wanted to take the time to write a review because of the phenomenal experience at check in with Toni-Ann. She was so sweet, joyful, and helpful and made the entire experience that much better right from check-in. I truly believe when things start off good from the get go you’re more than likely to keep that energy going for the rest of the trip - so thank you Toni-Ann!

Unfortunately, due to this time of Covid, many establishments have suffered greatly in lots of areas. Having worked in the hotel industry for a number of years in the past, I know that service is nothing like it used to be. However, I expect better than the bare minimum from one of the top names in the industry. For starters, The Breakfast bar is a joke, and the attendant has attitude problems. Breakfast is supposed to run from 6:30 a.m. until 9:30 a.m. With a limited selection already, I think it's poor business to have empty chafing dishes that need replenishing, and the attendant is sitting in the computer printing area on her phone! Then when she finally comes to check on her station, it's clear that she feels WE are inconveniencing HER! She loudly announced there would be no more meat to go on the bar! Mind you, it wasn't even 8:00 a.m. yet! I have largely decided to go down to the the Waffle House on the corner for my breakfast for the duration of my stay. In addition to the problems with breakfast, this is supposed to be a ”No Smoking” area. There's been a strong odor of **** being smoked BOTH NIGHTS that I've been here. Security is in place in the evening, but I doubt they're even trying to monitor the property and goings on...I was trained by Marriott's best in the early 1970's, and know that both father and son would be sad to see what's become of their legacy. They both were very ”hands on” and proud of what their family had achieved...

This happened on the weekend of May 28th 2022. My boyfriend and I were attending an anime convention in Atlanta. When we arrived we were told that there was public parking and vallet parking. After driving around and not having any success we decided to choose their valet service. What they did not tell us is that they lost the keys to their own parking lot. They were using another hotels parking lot across the street to park guests cars. When parking the guest cars they told guest to leave the keys in the car and they would eventually park it. There were so many cars backing up and into a public road because they were not parking the cars. This was also memorial day weekend and we saw lots of panhandlers around. This was my car I was driving and I was not about for it to get stolen. I asked the valets, Who were standing at their stand talking to their friends surrounded by cars with keys inside them not being parked, where are they parking their cars? I want to park my car myself. They told me and I paid the hotel across the street that I wasn’t staying at $28 to park a whole $10 cheaper from the valet service that they were charging. The valets argued with me stating that “ valet parking is mandatory at this hotel.” To which I pointed to the sign across from their station that states “ Valet Parking And Public Parking Available To Guests”. I’ve worked with the public before so I went to go and speak to the staff member in charge of the valet parking service. I explain to them that for our own safety I would like to park my own car. They agreed and they stated that “We will take the parking off your bill.” Once I return to my car I had to wait until there was an opening for my boyfriend to guide me out of the cramped parking situation that they had created with all of the cars the valets were supposed to be parking. Once we were finally free I parked my car in the parking lot of the hotel right across from the courtyard in buckhead. The other hotel gave us permission and as we were parking we saw a valet finally pull up with the first car that we saw pulled in right before us. He even honked at us because I was taking too long to put my card into the machine to pay for parking. We were only staying one night there. We had such a difficult time with us that we did not enjoy the convention to the fullest. As we were leaving the next morning I even caught a conversation of a woman trying to figure out where her keys went. She was screaming at the the staff because she gave the Valets her keys and they did not give them back. As we left the hotel I thought we had finally left this bad experience behind but I was not right at all about that. Because the hotel room was in my boyfriends name he got the invoice for the hotel. When we got the invoice back from Buckhead we noticed that valet parking was not on our paper invoice. However on his debit card there was a singular $38 charge. The description of the $38 charge was “valet parking hotel Buckhead

I booked this hotel for a weekend getaway and I enjoyed my stay. The room was clean, bathroom was a bit dated there were some loose fixtures but still nice. Keys didn’t work for the gate but front desk clerks were very helpful. I may book again!

This type of room booked by Ctrip must avoid the third floor. When I entered, I smelled a so-called cigarette smell and immediately asked to change rooms. The front desk said that many people smoke on this floor 😅... The hotel only has a small train next door to the airport. It is not very convenient if you have a lot of luggage or it rains.

We were only at this hotel 1 day and had multiple issues with a male member of housekeeping. At 9:00 am the hallway was completely blocked by housekeeping carts. Next the same staff member was in the hallway speaking loudly and playing music. The worst encounter with the same staff member was when he our door and proceeded to barge into our room at 12:07 PM. I had arranged a late checkout with the front desk staff, there was a do not disturb sign on our door and my wife and I were trying to take a nap before a long drive home. I would have given the hotel a 2.5 star rating if that was an option. The room was nice, it was clean and the front desk staff were professional. Another issue was two times in our short stay there was someone smoking week by the front door. Not a great place to bring kids.

We were supposed to stay for a week, but checked out after the first night. Upon arrival at 5p (check in starts at 4p), we found a lobby full of waiting guests and were told that rooms were not ready yet. 2 hours later, we were finally checked in - at 7pm! The lobby still had at least 4 more families still waiting. The staff offered a measly ”sorry for the wait” but that was about it. No one was offered water or anything to drink, nothing to eat, etc while we waited for hours. In fact, one of the staff began complaining to her co-worker that she was going to quit the evening shift because she's tired of the guests being impatient and not understanding. Like WE were the problem. Hilton members who had used the app to check in were no exception. Still had to wait like everyone else. And nothing offered as compensation. When we finally did get to our room, it was pretty bad. The hotel is old and outdated, with stained carpet throughout the hallways, chipped furniture, dirty A/C units and gross bathrooms. Our room had a very strong, pungent smell of pinesol, lysol, and mold/mildew. It was so strong that both of us in the room got headaches after about an hour. Mine turned into a migraine. By morning, I was also stuffy and congested, mist likely from the mold they are obviously trying to mask with this disinfectant smell. Because we got into our room so late and many hotels in the area were unavailable, we stayed this first night but I had already booked another hotel for the rest of the week and we left by 7am. I went to the front desk to check out but no one was there & we had somewhere to be in the morning so I couldn't wait around. I decided I'd check out on the app and we left. The app wouldn't allow the check out since we were leaving 6 days early, so I tried calling the front desk. It went to voicemail so I left a message with my name, room number and the reasons we were checking out. I called 2 additional times that morning, both went to voicemail. After not hearing from anyone, I began dealing with Hilton customer service. It took Hilton 2 additional DAYS to reach someone and after leaving on Sunday, I finally received a receipt on Tuesday evening showing I had checked out 2 days prior. Still never heard from a live person from the hotel. This was an awful experience. We were there for 12 hours and were miserable every second of it. Do yourself a favor and avoid this place at all costs.

Sheriff was so kind to drive me to my classes and pointed out how to get to the Falcons game. He is friendly, kind and always smiling. The front desk, valets, housekeepers, and other staff are also outstanding. It was nice to be greeted upon my returns. It felt a little like home each time. The rooms are immaculate. The location is nice (there is a mall across the street). It was nice to have a home away from home. Well done , everyone and thank you.
