I stayed at the hotel for 4 nights. Everything was very much as expected...no major complaints. My only kind of minor complaint is there was a nice layer of dust and debris in the corners of the room, all the way around--they should use the edge attachment of the vaccum cleaner, every once in awhile, to keep the rooms from smelling old and dank, and from not looking their very best. Otherwise, the front desk personnel were very efficient at check-in. I believe they were checking in a major conference when I arrived, so the lobby was humming with excitement. They placed me in a king room on the 3rd floor (eventhough I requested a high floor). Turns out, it was ok, since the elavators are on the slow side. In general the hotel is well maintained, and updated to reflect the times. I stayed here 10 years ago, or so, and I can see that the place has been updated with trendy bars, clubs, and shops, etc. Very nice restaurants around the hotel where I ate all my meals (never ate in the hotel). There are also skywalks to the adjoining hotels, which makes it very convenient to get to other places in the immediate area. This convenience made it possible for me to walk to most places I needed to go during my business stay. I would recommend this hotel to business travellers, as well as people who are looking for a destination experience. I'm so glad I did not see a bunch of kids running around everywhere.

Stayed here for two nights and was surprised at the level of service and accommodations. The front desk, concierge, shop people were all friendly and helpful They have a nice little sandwich (to-go) shop in the lobby. Unlike a lot of places that get there retail food from a big processor, these items are made in-house (according to the cashier at least). Fresh fruit, salads, wraps, etc. Better than most places. Room wise, it is standard Marriott fare. Flat panel TV, desk, plenty of outlets (without having to crawl around the floor). The $14.95/day internet was sort of a rip-off, that seems a bit higher than most which seem to charge $9.95/day (a smaller rip-off, but still overpriced IMHO).

I travel to Atlanta for work and really enjoy staying at this hotel. I have not met anyone who worked for the hotel that was not friendly and accomodating. The workout facility is excellent and easy to access. The Concierge lounge is great for breakfast and gathering. The beds are nice and comfy. And it is an excellent location in downtown Atlanta.

We stay here every year for Dragon*Con if we can. The weekend is super busy, overcrowded and overwhelming at times, and our room in the Marriott is always an oasis for us to come to. The staff are very welcoming and do everything possible to make our stay a good one.

The breakfast buffet at Sear is amazing,although I usually just get the fritata, which is great every time.

The Starbuck's line is usually very long, but it moves very quickly.

The fitness center is AMAZING for a hotel and unlike so many fine hotels, they do not charge extra for the privilege of using it.
