Holiday Inn Downtown Gwcc Atlanta, GA - Booking Reservations, Reviews, Information

First suprize was the parking cost... a day, Valet Parking only. This substantially increased the cost of the stay. The construction started about 8 am with drilling which sounded like they were in my room. All the front desk could say was "I'm sorry for the inconvience"!! The area around the hotel was ok but not someplace you wanted to roam during the day. The Gift shop was non-existant (completely empty due to the construction). Maybe in a year when the work is completed, the hotel will be suitable for habitation again. I was extremely disappointed with the overall experience.

We arrived at the hotel at 3:15 with 2 young children having spent the day at the Georgia Aquarium, ready to relax in our room. Check in was at 3:00, so being 3:15 we thought no problem...Wrong our room was not ready until almost 5:30--and then when we got to the room the beds were still not made. Our stay just continued to go down from there. There was the AC that stayed on at full blast even though it was "off," the toilet that would not stop running, and the total lack of any trash cans in the room. All of which we notifiied the front desk, all of which were NEVER taken care of. Then there was our trip to the swimming pool with our children, that was cut short by a another group who decided to go skinny dipping in a pool full of children--again hotel staff did nothing. Then there was being woken up in the middle of the night by our neighbors trashing their room in some sort of altercation, that had to be broken up by the police--not just hotel security. The next morning we decided to get breakfast in the dining room, and waited over 15 minutes just to get our drinks, when we asked the waiter how much longer our food would be after 45 minutes he got an attitude with us responding that they were busy and we would get our food when it was done. We left.. There are several other chains within walking distance of this hotel, and they might be more a night, but they would be worth it.

The first issue was that the building, and a huge building across the street are undergoing renovations. So, there was a LOT of construction noise during the day. The second issue was that Travelocity doesn't mention it the only parking at the hotel is a 20/day valet add on. So, the total price we had to pay in the end was a good bit more than that "Good buy" price we thought we were getting. The hotel itself was reasonably nice and clean. The fitness center equipment was in average shape. The area around the pool smelled bad, which might be from the construction.

I stayed three nights and I slept like a baby, 'cause bed was more than cozy; and in spite of beeing in downtown, hotel rooms are very quiet and you won't hear the roars of cars, I promise, also room was very clean and the bathroom as well. Hotel's location is more than excellent: two and a half blocks from Peachtree MARTA station, next to the Centenial Olympic Park, short walking distance to the Georgia Aquarium, The World of Coca-Cola, CNN Headquarters, Georgia Dome. Surroundings are well iluminated and secure (there's a police station one block from the hotel). The restaurant: they bake the best biquits I ever ate in my life. Breakfast was OK. The bussiness centre is quite usefull and best of all... free, but also there's complimentary Wifi internet access. Rooms have flat TVs and the complimentary newspaper is, sadly, the USA Today (I expected the Atlanta Journal Constitution).

Very pleased with stay at hotel. Location was key to choosing this hotel. (walking distance to nearby attractions, (i.g. Georgia Aquarium, Coca Cola Museum, Underground, etc...) Staff was friendly and very helpful. Rooms were clean and beds were comfartable. My only gripe is with the gift store. I do expect to get over charged for some items when I am on vacation. However, this store commits highway robberry. 20 oz soda, small bag of chips & an off brand honey bun was more than 5 dollars. Definitely would stay here again, just would purchase snacnks for my 6 year-old elsewhere. A suggestion would be to add at least one more kid channel on the cable selection.

This was a great hotel in the perfect location for a conference in Atlanta! Nice walking distance (2 blocks or less- through the Olympic centennial park) to the Omni, Georgia World Congress and CNN center. The staff, including everyone from the valets to the front desk were incredibly friendly and helpful. Clean and comfortable rooms, and probably the most comfortable hotel bed I've ever slept in. Since I was so comfy and so close to so many fun things, I didn't get to try out the fitness center (but I walked a lot, right?) or the pool, but they looked nice. Didn't try the restaurant, but it smelled good... Overall, it was a great place to stay! I'll be heading back for another conference in April, and will definitely stay here again!
