Hotels near Vinyl, Atlanta

Booked a stay for an Elton John concert. First time staying at this property. Room was nice, location was great. But really wanted to take the time to write a review because of the phenomenal experience at check in with Toni-Ann. She was so sweet, joyful, and helpful and made the entire experience that much better right from check-in. I truly believe when things start off good from the get go you’re more than likely to keep that energy going for the rest of the trip - so thank you Toni-Ann!

Hotel representative referred us to a nearby restaurant for delivery (Metro Diner) and we never received our food, we were left with an $82 bill for food we never received & the hotel could only apologize. Hotel parking is hectic, parking availability is limited. Hotel room should’ve came with a microwave.

Unfortunately, due to this time of Covid, many establishments have suffered greatly in lots of areas. Having worked in the hotel industry for a number of years in the past, I know that service is nothing like it used to be. However, I expect better than the bare minimum from one of the top names in the industry. For starters, The Breakfast bar is a joke, and the attendant has attitude problems. Breakfast is supposed to run from 6:30 a.m. until 9:30 a.m. With a limited selection already, I think it's poor business to have empty chafing dishes that need replenishing, and the attendant is sitting in the computer printing area on her phone! Then when she finally comes to check on her station, it's clear that she feels WE are inconveniencing HER! She loudly announced there would be no more meat to go on the bar! Mind you, it wasn't even 8:00 a.m. yet! I have largely decided to go down to the the Waffle House on the corner for my breakfast for the duration of my stay. In addition to the problems with breakfast, this is supposed to be a ”No Smoking” area. There's been a strong odor of **** being smoked BOTH NIGHTS that I've been here. Security is in place in the evening, but I doubt they're even trying to monitor the property and goings on...I was trained by Marriott's best in the early 1970's, and know that both father and son would be sad to see what's become of their legacy. They both were very ”hands on” and proud of what their family had achieved...

This happened on the weekend of May 28th 2022. My boyfriend and I were attending an anime convention in Atlanta. When we arrived we were told that there was public parking and vallet parking. After driving around and not having any success we decided to choose their valet service. What they did not tell us is that they lost the keys to their own parking lot. They were using another hotels parking lot across the street to park guests cars. When parking the guest cars they told guest to leave the keys in the car and they would eventually park it. There were so many cars backing up and into a public road because they were not parking the cars. This was also memorial day weekend and we saw lots of panhandlers around. This was my car I was driving and I was not about for it to get stolen. I asked the valets, Who were standing at their stand talking to their friends surrounded by cars with keys inside them not being parked, where are they parking their cars? I want to park my car myself. They told me and I paid the hotel across the street that I wasn’t staying at $28 to park a whole $10 cheaper from the valet service that they were charging. The valets argued with me stating that “ valet parking is mandatory at this hotel.” To which I pointed to the sign across from their station that states “ Valet Parking And Public Parking Available To Guests”. I’ve worked with the public before so I went to go and speak to the staff member in charge of the valet parking service. I explain to them that for our own safety I would like to park my own car. They agreed and they stated that “We will take the parking off your bill.” Once I return to my car I had to wait until there was an opening for my boyfriend to guide me out of the cramped parking situation that they had created with all of the cars the valets were supposed to be parking. Once we were finally free I parked my car in the parking lot of the hotel right across from the courtyard in buckhead. The other hotel gave us permission and as we were parking we saw a valet finally pull up with the first car that we saw pulled in right before us. He even honked at us because I was taking too long to put my card into the machine to pay for parking. We were only staying one night there. We had such a difficult time with us that we did not enjoy the convention to the fullest. As we were leaving the next morning I even caught a conversation of a woman trying to figure out where her keys went. She was screaming at the the staff because she gave the Valets her keys and they did not give them back. As we left the hotel I thought we had finally left this bad experience behind but I was not right at all about that. Because the hotel room was in my boyfriends name he got the invoice for the hotel. When we got the invoice back from Buckhead we noticed that valet parking was not on our paper invoice. However on his debit card there was a singular $38 charge. The description of the $38 charge was “valet parking hotel Buckhead

We were only at this hotel 1 day and had multiple issues with a male member of housekeeping. At 9:00 am the hallway was completely blocked by housekeeping carts. Next the same staff member was in the hallway speaking loudly and playing music. The worst encounter with the same staff member was when he our door and proceeded to barge into our room at 12:07 PM. I had arranged a late checkout with the front desk staff, there was a do not disturb sign on our door and my wife and I were trying to take a nap before a long drive home. I would have given the hotel a 2.5 star rating if that was an option. The room was nice, it was clean and the front desk staff were professional. Another issue was two times in our short stay there was someone smoking week by the front door. Not a great place to bring kids.

We were supposed to stay for a week, but checked out after the first night. Upon arrival at 5p (check in starts at 4p), we found a lobby full of waiting guests and were told that rooms were not ready yet. 2 hours later, we were finally checked in - at 7pm! The lobby still had at least 4 more families still waiting. The staff offered a measly ”sorry for the wait” but that was about it. No one was offered water or anything to drink, nothing to eat, etc while we waited for hours. In fact, one of the staff began complaining to her co-worker that she was going to quit the evening shift because she's tired of the guests being impatient and not understanding. Like WE were the problem. Hilton members who had used the app to check in were no exception. Still had to wait like everyone else. And nothing offered as compensation. When we finally did get to our room, it was pretty bad. The hotel is old and outdated, with stained carpet throughout the hallways, chipped furniture, dirty A/C units and gross bathrooms. Our room had a very strong, pungent smell of pinesol, lysol, and mold/mildew. It was so strong that both of us in the room got headaches after about an hour. Mine turned into a migraine. By morning, I was also stuffy and congested, mist likely from the mold they are obviously trying to mask with this disinfectant smell. Because we got into our room so late and many hotels in the area were unavailable, we stayed this first night but I had already booked another hotel for the rest of the week and we left by 7am. I went to the front desk to check out but no one was there & we had somewhere to be in the morning so I couldn't wait around. I decided I'd check out on the app and we left. The app wouldn't allow the check out since we were leaving 6 days early, so I tried calling the front desk. It went to voicemail so I left a message with my name, room number and the reasons we were checking out. I called 2 additional times that morning, both went to voicemail. After not hearing from anyone, I began dealing with Hilton customer service. It took Hilton 2 additional DAYS to reach someone and after leaving on Sunday, I finally received a receipt on Tuesday evening showing I had checked out 2 days prior. Still never heard from a live person from the hotel. This was an awful experience. We were there for 12 hours and were miserable every second of it. Do yourself a favor and avoid this place at all costs.

We took our 9 year old to his first two Braves games and stayed at this hotel for 4 days. We had never stayed here before, but a relative recommended the hotel. The room was clean and smelled nice. I always check the sheets and pillows. The only negative was the white thin coverlet looked pretty on top, but was covered in paint smudges or marker of some kind on the underside. We just removed it and set it to the side. The staff, for the most part, was incredibly nice and very helpful. Crystal and Marianna at the front desk were absolutely wonderful! Warm smiles and very helpful with any questions. The breakfast each day was great! The woman serving was all smiles and kept everything well stocked. Our housekeeper was super friendly and traded our towels and washcloths as well as replenished our toilet tissue and in room coffee. The only major negative to our trip was the night counter employee, Josh. He had a terrible attitude and was disrespectful and rude. Not just to us. We observed his bad attitude on our second night and experienced it ourselves on our last night. Out of respect for my son, I waited until he was comfortably back in our room before I returned to the lobby to get Josh’s name. We had been very nice and friendly when we originally entered the lobby and even asked Josh several questions about his day. He ignored us completely, and we were standing directly in front of him at the counter trying to pay for some drinks. When he returned our change he set it down behind the plastic barrier and then ignored us. We couldn’t get hold of it and asked if he could push it forward. He continued to ignore us as if we weren’t there. Keep in mind we were literally standing across the counter from him at the check in desk. My wife ended up pushing on the plastic barrier until it touched the register so she could slide the dollars out. The entire time he ignored us, even as we were asking him to please slide the money under the plastic. In an effort to avoid a conflict in front of my son we simply said, “Well then. I guess have a good night.” He still didn’t respond…. When I returned to the lobby, his excuse was, “..I have had to deal with these baseball people all week.” I was wearing a Braves shirt…. There was more with Josh, but I have made my point. So, to wrap it up, Josh is a terrible front desk representative for this hotel and needs to be moved where he has no guest contact. The rest of the staff and management are great!

Sheriff was so kind to drive me to my classes and pointed out how to get to the Falcons game. He is friendly, kind and always smiling. The front desk, valets, housekeepers, and other staff are also outstanding. It was nice to be greeted upon my returns. It felt a little like home each time. The rooms are immaculate. The location is nice (there is a mall across the street). It was nice to have a home away from home. Well done , everyone and thank you.

I didn’t read the reviews as I ended up in Atlanta unexpectedly after good old Southwest cancelled my Austin flight & Atlanta was my only option to get back home. I’m glad I didn’t anyway because I probably wouldn’t have booked it but I have nothing but good things to say about my 1 night stay. The neighbourhood probably isn’t the best but I wasn’t here to sightsee The shuttle came quickly & the journey from the airport took less than 10 mins The hotel was bright and clean & the lady on reception was very friendly & welcoming. She acknowledged my IHG platinum status & I was checked in very quickly I had room 616. It was spotlessly clean, modern & comfortable with all the hoped for amenities. Fridge, hair dryer, microwave, coffee maker, iron etc. It was also quiet & the air conditioning unit was good as I like a cold room. Clean bathroom with a great shower. Breakfast this morning was also excellent. Bacon, eggs, muffins, pancake machines, juices. They also have free coffee & tea available all day. Didn’t use pool as it’s chilly but it looked clean The lady at reception this morning let me keep my room a few hours longer & was also really lovely. Everyone I encountered smoked & said good morning. As a lone British female stranded in Atlanta I felt safe, comfortable & welcome & I would happily stay again should the need arise Ps I didn’t see any homeless people sleeping in the lobby?!
