"Live the retro feel of the hotel. The room was very spacious and immaculate. The staff at front desk was ana absolute doll. At check in we were given a choice of complimentary beverage that was the cherry on the top as it was not expected Apparently there's a famous lounge in the basement but since we arrived late we didn't get a chance to check it out however the roof top bar has 1 of the best view of Atlanta skyline. We will definitely come back on our next visit Thanks for the hospitality"
