"Great place. Clean. Clubs near area"

Motel 6 Decatur, GA

10/10 Excellent

"Room can be updated and what is it with motel 6 and not having adequate ice machine,.. what I did like however is that they left you alone didn't bug you yesterday has trick rules about not having any cash for visitors without paying the visitor fee and the fact that they didn't request a deposit what I did find weird was that I paid online with Expedia and when I arrive he charged me $3.25 so I don't know what that one was all about but hey but yes I need shop dating and clear signs as to which one is the hotel as there's two similar buildings"

"It was an Awesome room and stay"

Residence Inn by Marriott Decatur Emory Area

8/10 Good

"Staff was friendly and helpful. Room and facility was very clean. Its location is outstanding. I did have to pay $15 a day for a parking spot for my car. Weight room had good equipment, free weights, and stretching equipment. The floor in the weight room was uncomfortable and not easy to lay on or kneel while stretching. I was there for a week and there was not daily fresh sheets, towels or cleaning. The services were adequate but not 5 star."
