Microtel Inn & Suites Buckhead

This place is TERRIBLE

First and foremost, they lied about the location. This hotel is not in Buckhead, it's right off Buford Hwy and that's not Buckhead. The beads were very comfortable and the room attendant was very nice. The hall carpeting needs some attention and fast. The worst part of my stay was the other guests. There was a utility contracting company that was staying at the hotel and those guys had no consideration for the other guest who were staying there. When I complained to guest services about the noise, I was told they would talk to the supervisor of the company. A lot of good that did. The next night the same noise continued. If you are looking for optimum guest service, pay the extra money and stay in a better hotel.

A little smelly...

The staff at this hotel was wonderful. The breakfast served was pretty much standard when compared to others hotel chains. They had fresh fruit and bagels, danishes, juice and cereal and an ample supply of everything. My son would have preferred a few vegan options (he got tired of oatmeal and fruit). We were there a week after a lot of Atlanta was flooded by rain. There is a creek at the back of the hotel and the staff told me it came up to the back of the Inn - I suspect it went higher. There was a musty smell throughout the hallways mostly - the rooms smelled strongly of cleaner. While it appeared clean the smell was a bit off-putting. The picture of the outside makes it look very nice and actually the Inn pretty much matches the picture - but the surrounding area was a bit concerning. It is on one of those streets that has pockets of new and old, shady and fancy...and there is an adult club (strip club) right across the street. I was a little concerned to be out at night. The location is very close to downtown Atlanta and a really good location as far a proximity to a lot of attractions and colleges is concerned.

Decent

Travel a lot with soccer team and this was very comfortable and room was in good condition. Only negatives are the location next to a topless club and the inadequate breakfast.

Great Value

Hotel was reasonably priced, service was friendly, and was generally quiet and comfortable.

Poor mainteinance

The hallway carpets were dirty. The housekeeper did not clean our room (no clean towels or the trash was taken out), we had to go to the front desk for towels.

smoking floor

Although I have requested a non-smoking room; the receptionist gave us a room in the third floor, which i understand is the smoking floor. That was the impression that I had because the entire floor was smelling like an ashtray. What's more is that, there were at least 20 cigarette burn spots on the bathroom counters. But if you are a smoker, this is your haven. Oh, breakfast was great. I have to give the credit to them.

Suggestion

If you stay here ask for a unit far away from the bar/club next door that plays until 4 a.m.

Don't ask for an iron!

the hotel was nice and clean the only problem I had was the irons did not work and, air conditioner leaked on the carpet and the bathroom light was dim. I was not trying to set the mood I wanted to see what I was doing! LOL!!

Good place, weird neighborhood

The hotel was priced well, quiet, safe, clean, comfortable, and roomy...but there was the Pink Pony strip club across the street. The neighborhood didn't seem too shady or dangerous...but there is a strip club RIGHT THERE. Depending on what you're into that actually might be an added benefit when choosing this hotel.

Good Room for the money

I was able to get some great discounts. The motel was better than I was expecting. Only drawback the hallways were rather warm. But the room itself was comfortable and clean. I was in town for training at GA Tech, a quick drive to the school and restaurants close by. Perfect for what I needed.
