Love this Hotel

James, Chicago, IL, 2007-03-08

When I got there I just loved everything about it. The decor, people that work there were very friendly. I did't get to eat at the restaurant but are planning on returning with my husband for a weekend visit. The convention center was in walking distance which I really like not have to take a cab to my hotel with all the items I did bring back from the convention center.

Great value boutique hotel

Jacqueline, Miami, FL, 2007-02-06

1. Some excellent restaurants in Atlanta for people who love good food to try that are not far away by car- Rathbun's, Shaun's, Posh. 2. I recommend renting a car if you stay at this hotel. The valet service is very easy and this way you don't have to walk through the so-so neighborhood.

The Glenn Hotel was a great deal for the money- the staff was friendly, the design of the rooms and the lobby was very cool. The bar downstairs served some of the best cocktails we have had and the bartender gave us great tips on where to go in Atlanta. The location is close to tourist spots but not close to good shopping or restaurants.

ideal downtown location

CNN center is on the next block. georgia acquarium is like 3 blocks. the coca-cola museum is not far behind.

glenn hotel in downtown atlanta is very ideal if you have a business within the downtown area of atlanta. it is so close to almost everything - convention site, CNN, good restaurants, etc. the room itself is not that big as i expected but still comfy. i would have preferred though that there was a tub in the bathroom.

Not family friendly

The CNN building is right next door with a large food court, shops and the ability to take a tour of the building.

The room itself was satisfactory although the room seemed a bit small. It had a very nice flat screen TV which worked very well. The atmosphere however was awkward. The hotel including lobby, elevator area and hallways were very dark. So dark in fact that it was difficult to make out the room numbers until you were right on top of the room. The room itself had the feel of a brothel. It had tacky bright orange curtains over the windows and the wall between the main part of the room and the bathroom was glass with silver beads hanging down over it. On the other side of the glass was the shower. This made the shower and, in fact the entire bathroom completely visible from anywhere in the main part of the room. This did not effect me directly being the only person in the room, however I would not recommend it for a family.

Unique and fun

IKEA!!!

Stayed a Sunday night - loved it - excellent staff - great hotel design - fun rooms - couldn't have been more happy with our stay and the very reasonable price we paid! Definitely find us back there again - I miss the peek-a-boo shower already.

Great location

GWCC, CNN, the aquarium, and the new world of Coke.

There is even a modeling agency on the second floor. The entrance at the Glenn is odd as it is off to the side of the property and not on the main street. The lobby is warm and very comfortable. The lobby bar is unpretentious. I did not go into the hotel restaurant, Bed, but I would imagine that is more of a scene in the evening. The staff was really nice. I tested them a few times as I needed toothpaste, directions to a drug store, and maps that defined the neighborhoods of Atlanta that are referred to everywhere, but mean nothing to me as I'm from DC. The front desk came through every time. The hallways are very dark, to the point that it's difficult to find your room. The room was small, but very comfortable. The bathroom was awesome. I'm a huge fan of the stand up shower sans tub. The water pressure was not good however. I would have liked to seen some better products in the bathroom, ala Bliss or Aveda. I was also wanting for a business center, as I did not bring a laptop on my overnight trip. There isn't one except to go to Kinko's in the convention center. I guess they are offering introductory rates to attract people to what is still a relatively new property. The rate was great! The location is wonderful, close to the GWCC, aquarium, and CNN. This area of town desperately needs some shopping as well as some of the wonderful restaurants that are all a cab ride away. The Glenn is off to the right start. I look forward to staying there again.

Very hip

CNN Center

You feel like you are checking in at a bar, which is not so bad. There are also beds in the bar. The night I stayed there was a party downstairs for "Peach" magazine which they cordially invited me to. Rooms were tastefully and thoughtfully laid out and appointed. I also loved the window from the shower into the bedroom. Very funky if that's what you're into. I liked it.

Trendy place to stay

The CNN center a block away has a whole range of dining choices.

This is the most unique hotel we have stayed at. I wouldn't think that it is catered toward a family as there are peek-a-boo showers in the room. An excellent choice and we will definitely stay at The Glenn again.

Beauty and Comfort Awaits You

This was the most beautiful and comfortable hotel I had ever stayed in. I felt absolutely spoiled by the amenities which included a plasma/HDTV, plenty of free refreshments, and toiletry items. The staff were exceptionally friendly and I slept so comfortably on the bed under the superior quality comforter. All of the furnishings, including the lamps, headboard, curtains etc. were simply gorgeous. I'm trying to think of an excuse to get back quickly.
