My wife and I have been to Atlanta several times over the past few years, but this is our first stay at the Waverly. We were in town for the Chickfila Bowl on Dec 30th. Unfortunately our Hokies didn't win, but we had a great time thanks to the staff at the Waverly.

We checked into our hotel and were upgraded to the corner suite upon check in due to our silver status in the Marriott rewards program. This is the first time in our life we have been upgraded for anything.

The corner suite was huge and tucked away from the rest of the hotel. That being said I can see why others have complained about the noise. The setup is similiar to Embassy Suites (main floor is open with the rooms rising above and the hallways looking into the courtyard.) While we were there they were hosting a convention for a college Christian group. They were fairly noisy and if we weren't in a corner suite we might have the same complaints as the previous reviews.

The room was great, the bathroom even better. The towels were of better quality then what we are used to in a hotel room. Even the tissues and toilet paper was of better quality. Amazing how the little things can make a difference. The bed was nice, but not heavenly. The room was trendy and attractive.

In the morning we asked the front desk for directions to IKEA and they printed off directions for us. Very helpful.

On our next visit to Atlanta we will look into staying at the Waverly again. It is quite a bit nicer than the courtyard nearby (Courtyard Atlanta Cumberland Center) in which we have stayed on multiple occassions. That being said we are very price conscious and will make our decision between the two.

We recently stayed for one night at this hotel. We being me, my husband, and 3 of our children, ages 4, 3, and 9 months.

The hotel was beautiful and the atmosphere elegant. I was not there at check-in, but it must have gone smoothly since my husband did it alone with all the kids while I was at a meeting and didn't complain!

The kids enjoyed the indoor pool. However, the key did not work at first to get into the pool, requiring my husband to trek across the hotel and lobby with everyone in their swimsuits to get a new keycard.

The room service was good, but I would have liked more choices, especially on the late night menu. And make sure to ask about a kids entree choices and prices, since they are not printed on the room service menu.

Our room on the 14th floor was large and had 2 queen beds, a desk and chair, and a nice lounge chair. There was a good view, too!

We got a good AAA rate of $99 a night.

The only problem I had was with the billing, but it was fixed. We had to change our reservation to 1 night instead of 2. The bill I got had charged us as a "no show" for the first night, even though I had changed the reservation online in plenty of time. Also, there was a $9.95 internet fee that we didn't use. Both charges were taken off the bill, but it was still a hastle to have to address it at all.

I would stay here again if I could get the same rate. However, I think hotels of this caliber should offer free internet, which draws me to other hotels.

Found the staff courteous, the room clean, and well appointed.

I'm writing from my room at the Waverly, and I can safely say I've never had a more miserable stay at a hotel in my life. You should know this is an enormous hotel, with all rooms encircling a cavernous grand atrium. Large events are held in the numerous convention rooms on the first floor, hundreds of people come through, and every sounds rises to the top. You hear everything!

On our first night here, a band was playing for a convention gathering easily until midnight, and from our room on the 11th floor, we could hear every note. Then at 7am, they play elevator music in the hallways, and that continues outside your door all day long. Last night at 2 am, there were children playing and yelling at each other across the atrium, and this seems to be a trend here - the noise and chaos. (We had to call security twice.) As I write (at 12:40 am), it still sounds like a day care center with children screeching out there. Another disappointment? The Internet service, which does cost $10 a day and is not wireless, as another reviewer mentioned. Oh, and did I mention I just saw a huge roach run across my room?

I will say, the people who work here are pleasant enough, and the beds are nice, but if you expect to get any sleep or quiet here at all, I'd suggest trying another hotel.
