Top hotels in Great Lakes
Hilton Atlanta
I enjoyed my stay. The only thing I would say is the hotel needs to ensure all elevators are in operation during check out because it was a disaster trying to get on the elevator and when one finally comes it’s packed at capacity. Other than that I enjoyed my stay.

Wyndham Atlanta Buckhead Hotel & Conference Center
Bartender was not attentive enough in my opinion on our first night there. In the room, the bathroom sink had a slow drain.
