Residence Inn Atlanta Midtown/Georgia Tech

In total, I have spent 5 weeks over the last three months at the Residence Inn in Midtown. When I walk in, I really feel «at home». The staff is incredibly polite, accommodating, and will try their best to assist you with any of your needs. Thomas is my absolute favorite when he «welcomes me home» every time I come in. It puts a smile on my face which is always nice after a super long day working with vendors. The 24 hour snack station (which does include beer and wine) that is located right when you walk in is incredibly convenient.
The rooms are great! Both times I stayed at the hotel, I was in bedroom suites (versus studio style suites), but different layouts (both excellent). Their kitchens which have been newly remodeled in the last year have stainless steal appliances (full fridge, microwave, two burner stove, and dish washer). They are fully stocked with everything one would need including dishes, silverware, cooking knives, glass Tupperware, strainer… I could go on forever. With the exception of a wine bottle opener (they do have wine glasses), the kitchen is fully stocked with just about everything you would need. The living space includes with a 2 person kitchen table for a 4 person kitchen table, large living room (with a full sized pull out bed) that includes a large TV, and a desk area. In both rooms, there was a balcony wit 2 chairs and a small table which was a great place to hang out and just watch the city. The bathrooms, much like the rest of the room, have been recently remodeled with great fixtures, excellent lighting, and were always cleaned well. In one of the suites, the closet was located in the bathroom which included a safe, hangers, and bedding for the pull out. The bedroom comes with a queen size bed, dresser, two night tables, an alarm clock, and on one size two three prong areas for charging and 2 USB charging ports. Oh, and a phone, should you need it.
Daily Hot Breakfast! Unlike some other hotels, they have a daily hot breakfast. There is typically always eggs (real eggs, thank goodness), sort version of a breakfast potato, and sausage or Canadian bacon. Every day, they incredibly polite staff that prepares the breakfast also have something fun like a breakfast sandwich, burrito, Florentine, etc. If this doesn’t tickle your fancy, they also have an oatmeal station, baked goods, fruit, and of course the wonderful waffle maker.
While I have not joined any of the events, they do have little functions they do have social events on Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday evenings.
Between the accommodations and the people, I always «feel at home».

Great hotel in midtown. Rooms were very clean and well decorated. Great location. Seafood lounge across the street and a smokey old bar right underneath. Can’t forget the adult store right down the street very convenient. The staff was great. Each room has a great balcony overlooking the streets. We didn’t have one complaint about the entire stay. We will be back totally worth it.

First, great customer service. Second, totally renovated but there are some functionality issues. I’m use to residences inns having a seperate bedroom so I can watch TV and the wife can go to bed. This was eliminated in 511 and 515… not sure if it’s the whole hotel. They seemed to use a lot of the space to make the bathroom huge. Why? No pull out couch or any couch for that matter. I’m just use to these features in residence inns.
The other issue is that the A/​C blower is extremely loud. I’ve never asked to move to another hotel room in my life and I did last night. We moved from 511 to 515 (they gave me a room with a balcony because they were sorry for the loud AC.) The AC in 515 seemed slightly quieter. Jumping up and closing the vent most of the way seemed to help. Set the fan to on so it didn’t turn on and off. There was no low/​high setting. The blower is so aggressive it kept the room nice and cold even with the vent mostly closed.
Again, the customer service was great and they did what they could for me. My issue is with whoever re-​designed this place.

I had a pretty long stay at this hotel, 60+ nights and it was good for various reasons,
— excellent location (car or walking it’s in the middle of all the Atlanta area)
— «New» the building is old/​historical but they re-​did all the hotel! Great furniture good taste and this is trough out the hotel.
— People, Eric at the front desk is great and Paul where very friendly and helps with advice, etc You can clearly see they build relations and not just attend a customer.
Thanks a bunch for all!

I had a stay with my brother at the Residence Inn Atlanta Midtown/​Georgia Tech for the period March 26 – 30, 2015.
This hotel has made total renovations all throughout. I had a free night certificate for the first night of the hotel stay but could only get a studio for the 1^st night. Over the next 3 nights, I had a reservation for a 1-​bedroom suite. The rooms show major improvements. The regular room rate appears to have increased by $ 50 – 60 on average.
The entrance has become sliding automatic doors. Upon entering the hotel, the front desk is set in the area where the dining area used to be. The dining area has expanded to accommodate 2 – 3 times more guests than it had before.
The property is well lit at night all around the hotel.
The parking area has been enforced by assigning its hotel guests parking numbers. If you’re parking a vehicle, you must be assigned a specific parking number. The front desk will fill out a parking permit for you to place on the dashboard of your vehicle. If you do not receive a number and park in an unassigned empty spot, you could have your car booted. Before the renovations, you could park anywhere. Even guests could park there and visit you. I was never charged a parking fee until this stay.
The parking rate has increased to $ 25 per night. Another option is to park in the lot across the street from the hotel. The overnight rate is $ 10.00 through 11:00 am the next day; the 2-​hour parking rate is $ 3.00 and the daily rate for parking is $ 5.00.
Hot and continental breakfast are served. Cereals, assorted muffins, fruit, boiled and scrambled eggs, sausage and potatoes are the general offerings for breakfast along with juice, milk, and yogurt.
The staff appear to be friendly and helpful. A few of the staff members that I would recognize from before the renovations are no longer there with the exception of one named Eric who I have observed is very helpful with the guests.
Nevertheless, this stay has been enjoyable, and I look forward to staying her again.

Nice staff and hotel is clean. Location is great walking distance from Pidemont Park and great resturants. Very comfortable stay here at the Residence Inn. This property needs to updated. Other than that no complaints.

Ich würde das Hotel mal als etwas in die Jahre gekommen bezeichnen. Dennoch ist es sauber und die Lage ist eigentlich relativ Zentral. Das Personal, besonders am Empfang, schien recht unmotiviert zu sein, hat uns aber bei allem weitergeholfen.
An Essen wird nur ein bedürftiges Frühstücksbuffet geboten, was dafür aber im Preis mit drin ist. Außerdem sind die Zimmer mit einer kleinen Küche ausgestattet, man kann sich, besonders bei längerem Aufenthalt auch selber mal was machen. Des Weiteren gibt es die Möglichkeit in den Umliegenden Restaurants was zu bestellen, was dann ins Hotel geliefert wird.
Alles in Allem ein nettes Hotel, besonders für Geschäftsreisende.

As mentioned, this is an older property — seems like it was an apartment building of some form that was made into a hotel — there was a doorbell at the room door — yes, sorry I rang that every time I came and left our room. I’m easily amused.
Staff was very friendly, easy check in process. Parking is $ 19/​day for their lot, but the lot is fairly small — was almost afraid my rental was going to get scratched.
Room is HUGE. My apartment is probably just as big. Full kitchen, dining table, separate bedroom. The location is perfect — quick walk to Piedmont Park and some fun bars/​restaurants, and by a train station. Would definitely stay here again.

Nice place — received a very good rate off Priceline. Everything was good until the cleaning staff was ready for our room — ignoring our «do not disturb» sign. The bed was super comfortable; close the bedroom door for a little more quietness.

Be aware, the hotel is a older property. This is not good or bad, just is. One bedroom was huge, the size of an apartment. We had problems at check-​in (no one was there for 20 minutes) but when I told Kay (the manager) about the problem, she listened, was kind and acknowledged that the problem needed to be resolved. (the employee was the only person there, yet if he had to address a problem in a room, there was no way for someone to get in touch with him). I couldn’t have asked for it to be handled better or more professionally.
Breakfast was a typical Marriott breakfast (I am a huge fan of the homemade oatmeal). The happy hour was a little strange (salad, chili and pie). They served wine and beer too.
Note: I am not deducting points because of the problem with check in. I understand things happen and when given a chance to take care of it, it was taken care of very professionally, which is all I ask. We could not have been more pleased with how it was handled. Kay took accountability and recognized there were a couple of things that need to be addressed. She even gave us a little handwritten note later. (really nice touch)
I am giving it four stars, my husband says three. I win!

It’s a Residence Inn. Nicer than some, but a couple of peeves. Air handling system is a bit loud and the TV reception is poor. Still it is in a nice part of town, the water is hot, the people nice and I can easily walk from the subway.
The Marriott points keep on piling up. That means vacations are in our future…

One of the nicest hotels I’ve stayed in, this Residence Inn is located close to Atlanta’s epicentre, allowing for short hops to bars and restaurants. Equipped with a kitchen, and in some rooms, a separate bedroom that is separated from a living area by a door, this hotel has the feel of a personal home. Staff at lobby is great and the hotel is located in a historic building, yet with modern touches.

First & foremost… turn in where the is a space in the bricks & an iron fence… you really can’t see the sign for the place from the road unless you know where it is. I stayed here on my move across country & the BEST thing about this place is that it’s animal friendly. I had to move my poor kitties cross country & this was a place that would let the little ones roam free inside for the night. The room was clean, although a little outdated. The staff was friendly, there was a continental breakfast and they have a secure parking lot. You can walk to a lot of restaurants and bars. Plus it’s close to the FED if you need to go there for work. No complaints other than the dated-​ness and slower than molasses elevator. I would stay again.

Not bad, good bar across the street.
