Upon arrival, we had to wait a couple of hours for check in. fine as most hotels check in at 3pm. not a problem
I thought that the architecture was old was I was told that it was built in the 1985, so thats expected, that with time, styles and designs change. loved the outdoor waterfall though .
the valet parking was something else. retriving ones car after its parked is an absolute nightmare, but this may be due to the fact that the hotel had couple of conventions.
the staff, on a whole were attentive to our needs. beds were soft and excellent. the size of the beds (two beds in a room) were small. I thought that they were twin beds, but they were actually doubles. smallest doubles I have ever seen.
Room service is high, I would suggest that u skip that, and a place called Sear..too expensive.
the mall had one great place (chinese thingy) were u could get a home cooked meal for cheap.
overall, the hotel wasnt bad, but if you go there, be prepared to SPEND..

Oh yes, taxi's are high too. $10 for the first person. two dollars for gas surcharge and an extra $2 dollars for each additional person.
I would highly suggest u rent a cheap car.

The Marriot Marquis in Atlanta is a fabulous hotel. The interior atrium is absolutely stunning and the glass elevators are great fun and really show off the hotels interior. The pool is small but still very nice. They even have cabanas to keep you out of the sun. The food was fantastic at their restaurant Sear as well as room service. The valet parking is quite expensive but we were offered a breakfast/parking package when we arrived that was well worth it. The buffet breakfast at Sear is really good(especially on Sunday since they have more variety) We could also walk to The Coca Cola Museum, Georgia Aquarium, The children's Museum, and Centennial Park. We even utilized their snack/gift shop quite a bit since they had a nice selection. The addition of a Starbuck's on property was nice as well. The room was small but sparkingly clean. I have an infant and felt quite comfortable with the cleanliness level. The beds had down pillows/featherbeds and were incredibly comfortable. The only one small problem we had was with the room safe. It malfunctioned and they had to drill it open late at night since it would not open at all. Not fun, but I guess it can happen. The staff that came to the room was incredibly nice though. I would recommend the hotel to everyone.

We stayed for one night in Atlanta en booked this twinroom at our Belgian travel agent for $160/night.

WE ALL LOVED AND ENJOYED THE HOTEL.

It is close to downtown, only two bloks from the Hard Rock Cafe and seven bloks from World of Coca-Cola and the Olympic park.

On arrival, we were immediately very impressed by the interior architecture ! The atrium is 47 floors high !!

The room was spacious, clean, beautiful and comfortable, same for the bathroom. Swimming pool was rather small for a hotel of this size, but ok !! After all we didn't stayed here to swim in the hotels pool !

If I ever go back to Atlanta, I will stay at the Marriot Marquis again ! The entire family agreed on that.

We stayed at the hotel for a convention. The pool and spa were under construction, half the hotel was under construction. The workout room had been moved to a sad make-shift area on the 10th floor. The staff was less than helpful and the parking was insane. As a former Marriott employee, I have stayed in many of their hotels, but this was the worst experience so far. From those I've spoken to, this hotel is always under construction.
