Holiday Inn Express Atlanta Airport - North, an IHG Hotel

It's not a modern hotel but it was clean, both the hotel areas and our room too. They have Dove toiletries in the bathroom which were good. Large tv in the room and shower over a small bath. The complimentary breakfast had cereals, omelette, sausages, bacon, warm soft biscuits and gravy (meat based) to go with the biscuits. There were pastries, breads for toasting, pancakes, fruits, yoghurt, boiled eggs, fruit juices and of course, tea and coffee. There is plenty of choice to fill you up on. There's a pool with sun chairs around it, which we sat on, but left the pool to the children to play in. And the small gym had some basic equipment to be able to do some decent exercise on. It's basic but it's perfectly OK. Location- great for the airport. The free shuttle runs every 30 mins and it takes 5 to 10 mins depending on traffic/ time of day Locally, there are lots of places to eat for dinner. I recommend a delightful, non chain restaurant called Zubi about 3 min walk away which sells the best tacos ever. The restaurant next door La Fiesta, was busy , we had a drink in there, the medium sized margarita was huge and great value at $15. BUT definitely eat at Zubi if you're at the hotel on an evening.

Good breakfast, generally comfortable bed, and AJ at check-in was excellent all around. The staff (AJ) was excellent and helpful with all requests and needs. He was professional, kind, and patient despite my frustration and impatience.

We were extremely pleased and blessed by the shuttle driver who took us directly to our rental car pick up center instead of the airport where we would have had to navigate it for ourselves. As seniors who don’t travel much, the extra service was very much appreciated. That extra touch was above and beyond expectations and very much smoothed the trip for us. THANK YOU. (Sorry we didn’t get his name, but he is to be commended. Morning shuttle, March 18, at about 10:00 am)

We liked everything. Staff was welcoming and helpful, room was clean and comfortable. The entire facility had been renovated and everything was like new. We especially appreciate hotels with hard flooring vs carpet, which this hotel has. In the morning we enjoyed the hot breakfast and other offerings. I met Cheba who is in charge of the kitchen services and let her know how much we appreciated having such a wonderful experience at the hotel, and she was so pleased to hear. It was obvious how much pride she has in her work at her hotel, and that everyone works together as a cohesive team. Thank you Holiday Inn Staff. Keep up the great work.

The beds and pillows were comfortable. The breakfast was great. The staff were all friendly and helpful. The shuttle from the airport would have been helpful.
