The Maldron on Sandy Springs Road is easy to access by car, and about a mile walk into the Latin Quarter. it is very quiet. The only problem is that you are sharing breakfasts, and perhaps dinners, with people staying overnight from large tour buses, which tends to mean that the breakfast buffet can quickly be depleted. But the homemade yogurt they have is excellent!
Fitness center was just what I needed. One of each type of cardio machine you might want plus a weight bench and hand weights. The entire property was very clean. On site parking is free. This location is within walking distance (less than 5-10 minutes) to plenty of shopping. It far enough from city center that it's quiet but still very easy to walk there (about a 20 minute walk).
Hotel rooms are ok. Staffs are not that friendly. Breakfast space is "reserved" for the tours organized through the hotel. So, if you are a "normal" traveler, you are asked to sit "outside" and have breakfast. Not very convenient due to this unfair space reservation.
Hotel rooms are supposedly non-smoking. But they smell smoky anyway.
I liked that there was underground free parking and a restaurant.
I didn’t like that it wasn’t located in a place that you could walk to cafes or restaurants
