Spent the weekend at the Georgian Terrace, a hotel that I had wanted to stay at for some time. While it is a historic hotel with a beautiful facade and some attractive public spaces, some of the accommodations leave something to be desired.

We booked through Priceline and were given a Standard Room, which was quite cramped (see pictures from maw0512's review.) It was by far the smallest hotel room I've ever stayed in, smaller than a cruiseship cabin. As we were travelling with our son who needed a crib, I was hoping that they might give us a room with a bit more space, but it was not to be. To fit the crib in the room, we literally had to stash the ottoman in the closet and stick half of the crib in the closet.

Claustrophobic room aside, our stay was relatively pleasant. All of the staff that we encountered were professional and curteous. The valet parking is pricey, but convenient and fast. There is definitely some room for improvement when it comes to infrastructure: A friend staying in another room could never get his room's internet connection to work, despite numerous visits by the hotel's tech support people. Our room had a coffee machine provided, but it was on a table nowhere near an outlet. A bedside lamp had to be unplugged and the machine moved across the room to brew coffee. The antiquated HVAC system was pretty noisy and this, coupled with a mysterous late-night (2:30 a.m.) hallway vacuuming session disturbed our sleep. Some hallways could be better maintained, having witnessed a number of walls and doors which could have benefitted from a fresh coat of paint. The busy floral wallpaper in our bathroom was torn and peeling in places.

It seemed to be a high traffic weekend, with multiple wedding receptions scheduled during our stay. As a result, the hotel's already-insufficient two elevators were overtaxed, resulting in extremely long waits for the elevator.

In all, it was an alright stay and I'd say that I got what I paid for. That said, I don't think I will be back, even at the Priceline rate. Too many bumps in the experience, and many better options in Midtown to explore.

“Great Service and Rooms”

Georgian Terrace Hotel

1/1 found this review helpful

I was a little worried about booking 2 rooms on Hotwire without knowing where they would be and I was even more worried when it came back as the Georgian Terrace Hotel. I was hoping for a newer hotel but now I'm really glad it turned out the way it did.
There was a long line at the front desk for check-in and it moved really slowly but that was just because the staff wanted to make sure each guest received their utmost attention and left satisfied. I'm sorry I can't remember the guy that checked us in but he was excellent! He upgraded my two standard rooms to 1 bedroom suites and made sure I didn't have any questions and left with a smile on my face.
The rooms, they were more like an apartment than a hotel suite. The bed was one of the most comfortable I've ever slept on, the water pressure in the shower was great, 2 televisions, and everything was immaculately clean. I could not have asked for anything more.
I've written bad reviews for other hotels here over the years so I do have high standards and the Georgian Terrace exceeded everything I could have hoped for. I will be back.

Just got back today from Atlanta and stay at Georgian Terrace Hotel for a week (1/27-2/2) in a stander room (175 sq feet).

I took Atlanta MARTA metro system from ATL straight to Midtown Georgian Terrace Hotel, it was really fast and safe compared with 4 years ago. City done a great job to fixed up the metro system, lots of tourist, workers, students are in the train........yes, some of the train actually have TV so that you can watch the news!! Not bad huh? No need to waste money on the shuttle since the 7 days pass for MARTA is only cost $13 plus $5 for the card......unlimited ride on MARTA for 7 days!! I hop on the train day and night with this pass and used the map as a tool for helping me go to Lenox a nice shopping center, art museum and CNN center.....you can check this online at [--]

Anyway, the check-in front desk was fast and the doorman were very nice, they are open the door for the guest all the time. At least 7 days when I was there, they were open the door for me everytime with a smile!! Service at the hotel is great and no problem with the elevators!!

Room is really small and a little bit outdated since I booked a stander room. But the maid made the bed nicely everyday. The wall is thing, so that I will need to bring my earplug, but the bed is really great!! I do not have backache at all. If you want to stay in a big room, make sure book a suite. the stander room is only 175 sq feet and your bed headboard is right next to the entrance door. If you need a peaceful sleep, stander room the way it lay-out will not bring you a good night sleep since you can hear people walking by and talk or they open/close the doors.

The Hotel itself is a landmark! It is right across street from Fox Theatre, meaning there's lots of nice restaurants near by. From the fancy Italian to must go Chicken and Waffle....... check the Atlanta Map or online for more restaurants.

Citypass also is a great deal for you!! [--] for more info.

Midtown is a very nice area since Georgia Tech is only two blocks away, during the weekday neighborhood is busy with lots of people, but on the weekend, it's little bit empty when you walk on the street on your own..........but still feeling safe and secured.

I will stay at this hotel again, but have to book a better room.....

This hotel has beautiful architecture and I'm sure has been stunning in it's time, but it is shabby with poor service and bad attitudes now. We needed a suite since we were traveling with our two year old, and the price was great for a two bedroom for $219/night, but my son and I left early because we'd rather stay in a nicer place. The website and confirmation promised a two bed, two bath suite, we just got one bath, and the front desk could have cared less when we brought it up. That, combined with the dirty furniture in the lobby, the old and ugly bathroom and kitchen and the $25/day parking fee was frustrating. By the way, the full kitchens touted on the website fail to mention that you have to pay $25/day to have any dishes, silverware, napkins, pans, etc. brought to your room. It is ridiculous, why even have them? There wasnt' even a hotel directory or room service menu to be found anywhere in the suite, the beds and bedding were lousy, (NOT tempurpedic as I read on another review) and the tvs were tiny - maybe 19", many of the channels didn't work and the blinds were broken in my son's room - which didn't have a closet or anywhere to store any clothes. Bottom line, you get what you pay for here, if I was attending a wedding at the hotel it would probably be worth one night just for the convenience, but I wouldn't stay any longer!

We stayed here on a business for two nights. We enjoyed our stay but a few things could have been improved upon. This is a very nice upscale hotel in Atlanta's Midtown area. The hotel is located direclty accross from the Famous Fox Theatre. I had a two bedroom suite which was awesome. The room consisted of a full kitchen but had no kitchen accessories like plates, flatware, etc., a living room, and two bedrooms. The rooms was great except for the kitchen not being stocked and our door would not lock. I called the front desk and they fixed the lock the first night but the next night it would not lock again. I did not get a chance to visit the pool area or the restaurant. Beware, there are not any soda machines in this hotel, and there are not many places that you can buy one except for the overpriced room service. I would stay here again but would hope they would make some improvements.
