pluses and minuses

Friendly staff, great lobby. Like all westins, the beds are phenomenal! This one has a great view and is worth requesting a high floor. It can get super crowded on the weekends. There was a reunion going on when we stayed there, which resulted in lots of noise. The food was average in our opinion. Overall, we'd stay here again.

Beautiful Hotel

by meesh0202 at Citysearch

This is a Beautiful Hotel. The location approximate to the city allows for a GREAT view from the higher leveled floors. I loved the setup of the rooms and the contemporary furniture, the large beds, and the overall service. I would definitely recommend this hotel to ANYONE visiting the atlanta area.

Get away and relax your mind

Peachtree Plaza Hotal offers my husband and I all we need in a get away retreat. The rooms are breath taking,the restaurant and dinner is the best with the most dramatic & romatic city view. It's a must for 1st vistors.

• Pros: location
• Cons: nothing

Windows wide open!

by ilovemywife at Citysearch

My wife suprised me with a Valenitines day visit to th Westin. The view was great and the room was very clean. My wife and I did notice, that while clean, the room and its furnishing was just down right old. I did like the bed and the covers, but nothing in the room sold me or said this is luxury, except the view. Can't beat that!! While I recommend this location, I would chose a newer high-end location, if amenities are your thing. At the same time, you can't go wrong at the Westin. It is nice, but you can find better hotel forthe money. My wife says, "Too much money for the room you get". I agree, but I may go back. It's the view man. Oh yeah, you can go to the Sun Dial for an expensive, but quality meal in the morning or evening.

• Pros: The view, cleanliness, ambiance
• Cons: Old.

Wow!

by Freely at Citysearch

We stayed at this location after a Prince concert. All I have to say is that the "heavenly bed" and the SunDial are the best items that this hotel has to offer. They need to do some serious renovations. I realize that this is an older hotel. However, this is suppose to be a great downtown ATL hotel. It is not. Don't waiste your money or your time.

• Pros: Sun Dial restaurant and the "heavenly bed"
• Cons: service, needs renovations

This place needs to REMODEL!

by Kayjenn at Citysearch

Went there on a Saturday. Checked into room after long lines for Valet Parking and long lines at the check in desk only to find the room a disaster. It was very small and the carpet was a mess- burn holes, stains and pulls everywhere. The bathroom is tiny and has plastic cups- looks like a really cheap motel. The desk was warped and water stained and the tables had cup rings. There was a stain on the sofa. The view was excellent, but the room wasn't even close to worth the price. I called the front desk and was told that was what happened when you stay at an older hotel. We were allowed to try another room. It was on the other side of the hotel and up a different set of elevators- but the room was the same. Everything was stained and worn. We left and had to cancel our reservations at the Sun Dial- what a dissappointment. We had a big evening planned. Next time we'll stay somewhere else.

Disappointing Westin experience

by redhunniedt at Citysearch

I'll start with the positive: the views ARE amazing. It's a very unique building from the lobby to the immense size of the hotel itself. It is very convenient to a lot of areas of interest (cabs are expensive b/c of the flat rate in the city though)

Now let's get real: My fiance and I stayed at this Westin this weekend. We were sorely disappointed with the condition of the hotel and the lack of service from staff.

Valet took a long every time we tried to get our car out ($22/night+tip). I even pulled my own luggage out of the car because he was too busy writing out our ticket to help me!

Bar service was terrible. They do NOT maintain cleanliness throughout the shift and figure the night cleaning crew will take care of the mess. By midnight for a nightcap, the place looked like a kegger had happened. I ordered a Pellegrino and when I picked it up, the backside was coated with grenadine and other mystery stickiness. The second night my cocktail had a quarter-size piece of candle wax in it! He didn't apologize (at least he made another one and pushed it my way). Pricing was weird too, $9.75 for a Ketel w/soda and $8.25 for a dirty goose martini. Go figure.

The bed was great, but the sheets were so starched it was uncomfortable. They had a tube tv instead of the flat screens. The bathroom had plastic disposable party cups (are you kidding me?!?). The bathroom itself is tiny as well. The floor we were on was in need of massive renovation. Wallpaper curled, FILTHY elevator doors, major stains on the carpet.

We stayed at the Memphis Westin the week prior and it was impeccable and what I believe stands for the name. We have also stayed in San Diego and LA. Both were great. When you pay more to stay somewhere, the amenities and service should represent it. I will chose another hotel before I stay at this location again (perhaps Buckhead or the W).

• Pros: central location, views, heavenly bed
• Cons: everything else

Always a "Skyline Experience"

by davidhgay at Citysearch

For years the Westin Peachtree Plaza has been our "Getaway Weekend in Town", but that may change. We have enjoyed the exciting high rise and the spectacular views for years but the Hotel needs some "re-working"... With the new resorts around town they are having a tough time keeping up. The Sundial is "dingy and worn looking" and the prices are getting "too high" for the value returned.

• Pros: Great views and great location..
• Cons: Too old, too pricey and not enough "stuff"...
