Room was a good size and clean. Water pressure in the shower was good. We stayed here because of the close proximity to Emory Hospital. We come to the hospital at least twice a year and will stay at this location again.

Staff was nice but property was not very clean or convenient. I had to switch rooms because first room had bad smell that smelled like smoke. Very nice about letting me change rooms and next room was better but not very clean, especially the bathroom. Website says 11 minute walk from Emory University but with location on a busy road that would not be a very easy or safe walk. Location was not great and for same cost there is probably a better option that is cleaner and more convenient if you are here for an event at Emory.
