The design and layout of the halls seemed confining and small but the deep blue carpet changed my perception of the room. Also, the aluminum plates along the floor. These seemed like trip hazards. So I walked around them. But the room was spacious, large, the bed was very comfortable and the style was like a dorm. I am happy. Check in was easy and quick. Check out too. What I realized was how close I was to my original reason for staying in Atlanta. That was a concert at The Masquerade. I would stay here again.

Dear Linda, Thank you for taking the time and leaving us a honest review. I have great news! For the next couple of months we will have a pop up chef that serves breath taking meals in the afternoons from 4pm - 9pm. Personally one of my favorites is the salmon dip or the Jerk pasta. Both have such an exquisite taste that will make you want seconds. If you are ever in the metro area again that would be a great opportunity. My self along with our amazing front desk staff knows local restaurants that are walking distance that are native to Atlanta! Other than that I hope you have an excellent stay and hope to see you agian in the near future.

The staff were kind and friendly! The courtyard and lobby are stylish, relaxing areas. The only thing I did not enjoy—and this isn’t unique to this property—is the sliding barn door to the bathroom. It’s fine for a single traveler but not ideal with companions.
