The Georgian Terrace Hotel

Location is great. We were there for DragonCon and literally just walked a block to the parade and found great spots. All of the public spaces like the lobby, sitting areas, and special event spaces are very grand and beautiful and well kept. Even though the room was disappointing in how worn it felt, it was clean. The hotel also has a lot of interesting history.

This was our second time staying here and the first time (about two years ago) we had a beautiful, modern room with a gorgeous, well-lit bathroom. This time, not only did the hallway reek of cigarette smoke, our room obviously hadn't been updated and every single hard surface (desk, bedside table, tv stand, etc) had a lot of deep scratches. There were patches on the bathroom walls where the paint was buckling and the "hardwood" floors would just stop about an inch or two from the wall. Light switches didn't work, not all of the outlets worked and the bathroom had terrible lighting - which is important to anyone who puts on makeup. And no mini-fridge to keep waters cool. This is Atlanta, it's hot most of the year, why not think your guests would want cold beverages? For the $300 a night we paid (including parking), we were pretty disappointed. I'd say if you end up staying here, make sure you have an updated room. Otherwise, the quality of the room will distract you from everything else about the hotel that's good. Plus, minor annoyance, even though the woman checking us in knew we were self-parking, she didn't give us a garage pass or explain the parking process so we were lost and as we tried to exit, realized we either had to pay (again) or were obviously missing something to scan at the automated exit machine. We had to park, go in, wait to see someone and then get the correct parking pass.
