Good

Hotel was great, service prompt and polite, atmosphere very nice. I don't have anything to complain about. Perhaps I expected a bit more from Ritz. It was like planing on going to Bloomingdales and instead ending up at their nice but not quite the same outlet store :) - I think you get the picture. The price was right so it was all good. I enjoyed it.

Beautiful downtown hotel

As is typical of the Ritz Carlton, the staff and service were wonderful! The location is excelllent if you have business in the area, and the hotel is surrounded by great restaurants as well. The hotel is a little tight - not as spacious as most Ritz hotels - but it served our needs well.

Good price,nice rooms

After a while the only problem I had was the staff was kind of stuck up. Other than that room service was good but be careful and pay cash so they dont add charges for what you didnt buy

Good if you get a discount

The hotel had the expected luxuries (other than a pool) and service was friendly and perhaps even too enthusiastic. If you can get it at $200/night, go for it, but the R-C in Buckhead may have better facilities.

A little overrated

The hotel is what would be expected of a Ritz-Carlton, but the staff was somewhat snoody and this is dissapointing. I asked if they had a vending machine, her reply was "no", I asked if she could point me in the direction of a convienence store and her response was "we don't direct our guests that way". If it wasn't for the nicer clerk at the desk who interrupted the rude woman, and sold me a diet coke from the gift shop of all places, I would have been even more irritated. Room was awesome and overall experience was good, but the clerks need to work on their attitude. I didn't pay good money to stay at a Ritz, when I could have stayed at a Hampton and been treated better and nicer.

interesting room

Great location in Atlanta. Walking distance to many restaurants and attractions. Staff was absolutely marvelous and alot of them. Do not stay in any room ending in 17 or 18. Doors are next to each other and slam close. I was startled twice out of deep sleep during stay. Not a lot of counter space in bathroom. Only towel rack in shower, so difficult to be green. Furnishings comfortable. Plenty of electrical outlets. Will stay again

Took our son to college in Atlanta

A wonderful hotel ! Staff was particularly impressive. I have stayed in many fine hotels and the staff here was right on par. The housekeeping staff was also exceptional and attended to details in the room that I had not experienced prior to this stay. I would definitely recommend this hotel to friends!

Good value

Not the fab experience of most Titz Carlton's, but very good value. Great location, friendly, helpful staff and comfortable rooms. Dining was really good. Did not appreciate the room location. There was service elevator noise, but not a deal breaker.
