Specifically chose this hotel for its location, and boy was I glad I did!
The Best Western Granada Suites is located catty-corner across the street from the Midtown Marta (subway) station -- so terribly convenient. We used Marta to get to all of our destinations and found it to be quick, clean and easy to use.
The hotel was nice. Different than most of the hotels in which I've stayed. Didn't have that big place feel, but was warm and sort of cozy. A bit dog-eared, but well maintained. The staff went above and beyond (take advantage of the maps they'll give you at the front desk -- they're better than what I found anywhere else) with our daily tourist-type questions.
We had a jacuzzi room which was quite spacious and included a microwave, fridge and bar-type area. The room was extremely clean and well stocked. The bed was soggy -- not my type of mattress -- but there were plenty of pillows. My only concern was the lock on the door -- the door, even when locked, seemed a bit loose. Our view was nothing special (a neighboring building and the alley below).
The complimentary Continental each morning was great. The hours and supplies were generous, as was the menu (waffles, yogurt, granola, fresh fruit, cereals, pastries, grits, eggs, sausage/bacon, juice, coffee...). Table space was plenty and clean.
On the subject of food, the front desk provided a great list of restaurants and delivery options. There's a small cafe on the next block over -- yikes, I can't remember the name, but it's right across the street from the Marta station -- that had absolutely fabulous food with a nice Southern flair. So good that we meant to make it over there a second time and just never did.
All in all, our stay at the Granada was favorable. Checkout was a breeze, even though they had a lobby full of people (a family reunion had descended upon the place).
Don't stay here if you want luxury, but do stay here if you want a clean, affordable place to rest that's close to easy transportation.
