I travel for business and as Courtyard by Marriott has been positioned
as a "business traveler hotel" I was shocked at how lousy this Courtyard was. Apparently they are finishing the renovation, which for
the record was 6 floors below me, but it wasn't the renovation that was the problem. The walls were PAPER thin. At 5 am I was awoke to the wake up call... FROM THE ROOM NEXT TO ME! The occupant, who was not speaking all that loudly, was completely understandable. He called
several other people within the hotel to wake them up and let them know there was a 6:15 am pick up. I called the desk to complain and they told me that he is a pilot getting the rest of his crew up and moving. I don't care if he is the President of the United States. I paid to have a quiet room to SLEEP in. I told the person working the front desk that I wanted to speak with the general manager of the hotel when they arrived.

Twenty minutes later there was a knock at my door. The on-duty manager
thought it would be prudent to come bang on my door while I was trying
to get back to sleep to let me know that I would receive and extra 5000 Marriott points and then handed me free breakfast coupons. Hardly
a consolation when I have a presentation to give at a sales meeting at
10 am. The encounter ended with him asking me if I would still like my
7 am wake up call. REDICULOUS. This was the loudest hotel experience I
have had in three years of traveling regularly for business.

Both of our rooms here were super comfortable, with wonderful beds. The nice lady from Jamaica at the front desk honored all of our requests with a smile. She set the tone for all of the staff we encountered. The valets were extra fast with our car, even asking if we would be leaving again soon so that they could have our car close by. The location was excellent for our Buckhead shopping and Braves game attendance using Marta. We would not hesitate to recommend this hotel to family and friends.

This was a tour to Atlanta to see a play at the Fox Theater and check out the Aquarium. I don't know what the room rate was as it was included in the tour price.

The room was large with a very comfortable king size bed with FIVE wonderful pillows. There was also a nice couch, good sized desk and of course, the dresser with the TV.
There is a restaurant there in the building. We had breakfast at the breakfast buffet. Food was good and plentiful

The only downer about this hotel is that there is a LOT of construction going on and it was hard to find the way in. But there is construction all over Atlanta. That's just the way it is.

I would certainly stay there again if I needed to be in the Buckhead area.

* My boyfriend and I booked a last minute weekend getaway to Atlanta, GA in November. I could have not had a better experience. From the airport we took the MARTA which is the name of their public transportation. A few stops later we got off at Buckhead. From Buckhead the hotel was literally about a 5 minute walk away. The hotel is located on Peachtree Rd but the trick is that it isnt exactly on the street. When u get out of the station, exit on your right and stay on that side of the street. As you are walking you will come upon a street that bears to the right. Walk down that street (it is a slight hill) and you will see the Marriott.

As soon as you walk in, you will see the front desk to your right. There is a sitting area directly in front with a nice fireplace, couches, and plenty of magazines and daily newspapers. There is also a resaurant but I don't remember the name and I didnt eat there. The front desk staff are super friendly and helpful. We got there early so I thought I would be charged a fee to check-in but they simply gave us a room that was available- no fee.

The hotel offers a free shuttle within a certain mile radius to the hotel which is great. There really is no need to rent a car if you dont mind taking the train, shuttles or walking. If you're into shopping the shuttle will drop you off at Phipps Plaza and Lenox Square Mall which are both nearby.

The room in my opinion was great. It was clean and spacious. It was cleaned everyday while we were there and fresh towels were provided. The bathroom was also very clean. In a room is the toilet and shower/bathtub and right outside was the sink to brush your teeth. The bed was big and cozy. The linens were fresh and the heat and air-conditioner worked perfectly fine.

The room came with a refrigerator, microwave and coffee maker. *TIP* If you want to visit on a budget, pack some canned drinks and microwavable food and you will be sure to save some money, although I suggest eating out.
The room also had a tv with not too many channels to choose from it didnt matter to me. I was out exploring all day so I didnt mind. If you end up staying in, they offer movie channels you can purchase, like anywhere else.

This hotel has an indoor pool. On their website it looks really small but it wasnt bad at all. If your into exercise it is big enough to swim laps. The water is heated which was a plus since it was cold outside. Right in front of the pool they have a heated jacuzzi. The control is against the wall which you control the timer to how many minutes you want it to stay on.

The hotel and staff were superb. My experience was great and I would definitely recommend it to anyone as well as stay there again!
