Location cant be beat. Literally across the street/park from the State Capital. Walking distance to restaurants. Rooms are large and clean. Shower is great. Night manager went out of his way to solve a problem. Parking was excellent! We would definately stay here again.

The view was great, as was the water pressure in the shower. The mattress was hard as a rock, the bathroom was covered in mold, there was barely one blanket, and it was super thin. My key deactivated every time I left the room. The furniture was broken, with drawers hanging open. The towel were tiny and painfully thin. Even the bathroom sink didn’t shut off properly.

Breakfast menu was limited. Coffee machine in room did not work - room 901. Suspect that had been the case for some time! Did not feel the hotel had seen much love in a while. Overpriced for what it was.

I feel like shock me and was extremely good. The Atlanta and attitude of the security personnel was awful. Made me want to leave the facility. Also the parking situation and Manor parking payment left to be desired.

For a price the quality is adequate. The experience could have been easily improved if the lightbulbs were changed to slightly warmer ones and if the AC was not so extremely loud.
