Positive Reviews
positive:
A top-notch team...
Though guests routinely single out one staff member or another for being particularly helpful, accommodating, or kind, many are quick to point out that the entire team is friendly and professional. The hearty buffet breakfast and weeknight social hours also add to the overall positive experience for most guests.
positive:
A home away from home...
Most guests find the rooms to be spotlessly clean and spacious, with modern furnishings and bathrooms. Families and long-term guests appreciate the convenience of the full kitchens, and everyone loves the balconies, though not every room has one.
positive:
Close to Atlanta's many attractions...
Most guests love the midtown location, noting that the subway is only two (uphill) blocks away and the downtown is only five minutes away in the car if you prefer to drive. Those who travel with their dogs enjoy walking them in nearby Piedmont Park. Guests also note that there are many restaurants within walking distance, and a Publix not too far off as well.
Negative Reviews
negative:
Pricey parking...
No one seems to appreciate the extra charge for parking, noting it's a little steep and the spaces are limited. There is a less expensive overflow lot nearby, but it does not have in/out privileges.
negative:
Cold showers...
Several guests have noted it takes some time for the water to heat up during "peak" times of the morning, and some have also experienced poor water pressure.
negative:
All rooms are not created equal...
The Residence Inn Atlanta Midtown/Georgia Tech is an older, brick building with a newly renovated interior, and it seems room sizes vary from one to the next; while most describe the rooms as big and quiet, others find the space too tight or plagued by street noise.
