Top Buena Vista Lake Hotel Reviews

Hyatt Regency Atlanta Downtown

8/10 Good

"I believe my rooms that I reserved through Hotel.com were changed. I needed an accessible room for wheelchair with shower. I dont know if this hotel did not have them but I know that I booked accessible when I made reservations. Also one room was supposed to be single suite but it was a double when I got there"

Scout Living PCM | Placemakr Atlanta, Apartments by Hilton

10/10 Excellent

"It was a very good experience over all."

Courtyard Atlanta Decatur Downtown/Emory

10/10 Excellent

"We came from Florida and stayed here and we enjoyed everything about this hotel. From the location Downtown where everything was in reach, the restaurants, the scenery, the food at the hotel, the rooms and their employees."

Residence Inn by Marriott Decatur Emory Area

8/10 Good

"The front desk staff were incredibly friendly and helpful. I wish I had gotten their names because they truly deserve recognition for their great customer service. The only minor issues I noticed were a few fibers on one of the towels that resembled hair and what appeared to be some liquid splatter on the bathroom ceiling. The laundry and bathroom cleanliness could use a little extra attention, but neither issue significantly impacted my stay. I’m only mentioning these things in hopes that they can be addressed for future guests. Overall, I had a great experience and would absolutely stay here again and recommend it to others. And again, I can’t emphasize enough how wonderful the customer service was!"

Sugar Magnolia Bed & Breakfast

10/10 Excellent

"What a lovely B&B! Our room was so comfortable and cool, and the house is so charming. Great location, walkable to restaurants and close to the Jimmy Carter Presidential Center. The breakfast was delicious and our host was so accommodating with dietary restrictions, including gluten and dairy, we couldn’t have been happier! Would love to stay again when we’re in Atlanta!"
