"Extremely nice employees. Very clean."
Overall Score5.0/ 5
This was expensive for us but we had to be at Emory Cancer Clinic and hotel is very convenient. It was very nice in every area. The breakfast was the best ever! Thanks to all of the people who were so nice to us. I was surprised to hear $20 was held for smoking, destruction of furniture, etc. we are 83 yrs old, don’t smoke and don’t break furniture but guess you have to protect yourself from those who do. Should I expect it to be returned?.
