this property rightfully took some grief early on for its disinterested staff and high rates (they aseemed happy having an empty hotel instead of adjusting their rates according to demand...the adjacent B-School maybe set them straight on the basic concept of supply and demand and how it affects pricing).

anyway, my parents had a very good stay over the holidays. it's not a hipster place, mostly for school functions. but it's a solid bet if you want to be close to Midtown. the rooms were clean and the staff was accomodating. there was one bad meal at the restaurant but the manager made amends which is all you can ask. don't go for the food. plenty of great spots nearby.

try to haggle with the prices as this place has real lulls in demand.

We stayed at the GA Tech Hotel and Conference Center on the weekend of 11/17 - 11/19. That was the weekend of the Tech/Duke football game, and we had plans to go to the game and to attend the James Taylor concert at the Fox Theater on Sat. night. My husband is a Tech alumnus, but we had never stayed at the hotel before. We were so pleasantly surprised! All we really hoped for was a decent place to stay that was close to everything. What we got was a perfect weekend! The hotel is contemporary and beautiful. Our room included the breakfast buffet both mornings, which was nothing short of delicious and fantastic. We were so close to the stadium and to the Fox. We walked everywhere -- cab not necessary. It was great! The people were very attentive, and our room was spotless and spacious. Beds were also very comfortable, with duvet style comforters on a cold, cold night. The bathroom was obviously re-done with modern decor & luxuries which included a large, tiled shower. We had a great time and would recommend this hotel to anyone staying in the Atlanta area. It was a GREAT deal for what we got. We live about 30 miles outside of Atlanta, and sometimes it's just nice to stay downtown for events instead of making the drive home. We now know that we will always stay at the Georgia Tech Conference Center.

Thaddeus (sp?) at the front desk was exceptionally wonderful. My last stay at GT Conference Center was in August, but had also stayed there in July 06. Both times the staff was extremely helpful, giving us coupons for an appetizer at a local spot within walking distance. The rooms and grounds were very well kept and comfortable. All in all, I had a great stay here and would recommend it to anyone needing a place to stay in Midtown Atlanta.

We were invited to a wedding in Atlanta and this hotel was across the street from where the reception was. We flew into Atlanta airport and thought we would give local train into city a try. Was about $ 4 for the two of us. Before we got on train, we called hotel to find out what stop they were. After lenghty discussion with someone, they told us directions ( which were wrong, close, but still wrong). So as we bought tickets we asked the agent. We were given different directions, so decieded to see what happened. Got on train, was busy. We had a lot of trouble seeing what station we were at at each stop. There is not a big sign..finally we see stop hotel suggested. Came out to street and called hotel again just to get us going the right directions since it was rainy. Same girl gave us again wrong directions away from hotel. Called again and she insisted she was right, but we were still lost. I saw a homeless fellow and he was happy to help and we had a nice visit as he led us to hotel.
So he got a dinner and we finally could check in. That went fine. We had a nice room, extremely comfy bed. Nice big bathroom.All very clean. We ordered some room service since we had been traveling all day and were starving. The food we ordered came in a reasonable time and was hot and good.
