Another ugly parking lot bites the dust! Glad they were able to incorporate the parking deck into the hotel. Wish all new buildings in Midtown would do the same. I'm looking at you Skyhouse.

Cheap lodging for more hillbillies from Kennesaw, for their big vacations into the city...The only redeeming quality this building has is that it could be easily converted into apartments if Atlanta ever actually turns itself into a reputable city.

Atlanta is so close, yet ever so far away.

I don't get what you think is so bad about this hotel. I see a lot of good qualities about it.
* Removed another parking lot
* Not taking up prime location
* Incorporates the parking deck into the hotel
* Looks nice and is affordable when most hotels in Midtown are not affordable.
* Will get a lot of Georgia Tech business, like families coming to visit their kids.

I was thinking the same thing... (minus the tone, lol). It did seem rather odd to put such a basic hotel in such a prominent spot. I'm not saying it had to be "Waldorf Astoria" or "Conrad" versions of the hotel brand, but it could have at least been a really nice "Hilton" instead of a Garden Inn.... Hmm, but I guess something is better than nothing I suppose... no, that's not true. But it is what it is....

Good compromise in a down economy...and a lower end location overlooking the noisy connector. Building really is not that bad, and does provide a lot of jobs, many for first time workers. Good location for Georgia Tech visitors also.

It will be convenient for Georgia Tech visitors, but I do wish they would have had a more luxurious brand there as it would be more fitting to the likes of such a prominent well to do school. Even a boutique hotel of sorts would have been more classy... but it is what it is. lol.

Oh, from a purely utilitarian standpoint, it's fantastic. Job very well done.
