First off, the room was clean and smelled good, which I appreciated.
I get the modern trendy vibe they are going for with this hotel, but I'd say before you try to be trendy, you first need to cover the basics. And this hotel has a few problems with basics. First, there was no refrigerator, microwave, or coffeemaker in the room. You have to go downstairs to the front desk for any of that. No ice buckets in the rooms or ice machine on the floor either. For that you have to go downstairs to the front desk. The TV in the room was mounted on the wall at an extremely odd 60 degree from center viewing angle relative to the bed. Also my room's door did not close completely on it's own. I had to remember force it closed every time. The room had minimal storage. Literally one drawer available for clothes under the bed, no other drawer space in the room.
The staff were nice, but seemed like they had to keep up with too much, again because of all the stuff like ice and coffee that they had to handle personally for every single guest, rather than letting the guests do it themselves like every other hotel I've ever stayed in.
These are all things I could possibly deal with if it were a cheap hotel, but I paid $500 a night, so I suppose I expected a bit more.
On the upside, the hotel is walkable to lots of restaurants, downtown, and the aquarium, so it had location going for it. That said, I'll probably stay elsewhere the next time I visit Atlanta.
