The hotel manager was unbelievable. She was so sensitive to our needs. She went above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable, we had everything we needed, and we felt someone cared for us. I highly recommend the place just so you can meet her. She is an agel.

Please replace the mattress. I could feel every spring and it made for a restless sleep. I know that your hotel is frequently occupied by Emory University students and you’re trying to keep costs down, but please replace the worn out furniture while you’re at it.

The room was old, dated but clean. However the hotel charged me an additional $70 because of my dog and $7.50 for parking. Ended up being very expensive for the quality of the room.

The rooms are in a dire need of an upgrade. The quality of rooms are not worth the price. Polite staff. I didn't even want to try the grab and go breakfast, after I saw staining and such in the rooms. On a side note- they don't offer traditional housekeeping services either. The only plus is the location.

My dog got fleas from our room! I understand it is a dog friendly property, but proper cleaning should be done throughout to prevent this. Our toilet and sink also had issues. Otherwise, the area was very safe and quiet and the staff was very friendly.

The night staff person at check in was excellent but stay away. No soap in bathroom! Bathroom sink clogged! Entire room in rundown condition. Rusted lamp on night table. Chipped walls and doors, appears no upkeep in decades. Bed seemed clean. Less expensive but not worth the price.
