The hotel itself was very beautiful, staff were friendly & location is perfect! However, our shower in our assigned room was very dirty, and the towels had a really bad smell. Didn’t help that the bathroom had no vents neither. Our shower was also not draining which not only was frustrating but disgusting bc like mentioned before, it was dirty so there was a lot of dirt just floating up to the surface. We had called to have the shower serviced & he came in only with a screwdriver, not a snake or equipment for proper drainage & stated everything was working which it indeed wasn’t. Again, the next morning, we informed the staff for help & it seems like they did come; though we were not there at the time & it did get better but was very slow & still dirty (housekeeping came but did not clean shower). There was also a ceiling leak at the gym for 2 of the days we were there. We were only there for 3 days, 2 night. The pool was not in service but they did give us like a “voucher” to be able to use the pool at another hotel which we felt was pretty good compromise, though we didn’t have intention of using. If it weren’t for the whole shower/gym inconveniences, honestly, we would be giving 5 stars.

The pool was closed for repair due to a leak, it happens but it wasn’t advertised - we were given the option of money back or walk 4 blocks to a sister hotel.

There was a clear and obvious problem with an air lock in the water system, when any room used water there was a large clunking noise which kept us up. Notified front desk and they advised maintenance was on their way, but 3 days and no attempt to repair or fix it. This had to be affecting several rooms because it was so loud.

Going back a step, we actually arrived early at the hotel before check in time, and as we expected our room wasn’t ready. However we were told that the room was actually clean and just needed signing off and to wait 5 minutes. 2 hours later no one has checked the room for sign off!

Half the staff didn’t want to be there, there was however one great guy called Laz that was very helpful, we had a suitcase malfunction and he went to his car to get a tool to help fix it. That came after we had already waited an hour for maintenance to meet us at reception.

Front desk staff, and bar staff blowing cheeks annoyed it was busy and people needed help / serving.

Breakfast was a disaster, under staffed, waited 25 minutes to get a glass of water, one morning we left because people were waiting 30 mins to be seated. One staff member smashed 15 plates replenishing stock, an hour later when we left no one had properly cleared it away.

There are better places to stay !

Clean room, although not superb condition. Minor things - odd wall art, flawed shower caulking, not pull on the nightstand. Staff was nice. Breakfast was ridiculously expensive - $70-ish for two of us, one of which was a child - and not particularly good or even interesting. Pool was closed for maintenance so they said we could go to a different hotel’s pool and show them a letter to allow us to use it. No thanks.

There were a few challenges with the amenities at this property, specifically the pool was closed and both of the Pelotons in the gym were not working. However, they offered access to a pool at a nearby hotel if you wanted. The staff were very friendly and helpful and the room and property were nice. Breakfast was great! Location was fantastic right in midtown very close to Marta and Piedmont park. Will stay again!

We knew ahead of time the pool was closed for maintenance so not a huge deal being they gave us access to their parter hotel Moxy but not ideal to walk two blocks off site.

Main complaint is the stains on some of the furniture in our room. We booked a midtown view suite. View was nice. Room was spacious and comfortable. Big shower was cool. BUT, on both the sofa and the green chair near the bathroom, there were obvious stains on the upholstery. Wife and I are well travelled and generally don’t make a fuss so we didn’t say anything during our stay but the sofa and chair should be flagged by house keeping and probably replaced.

Booked the tree line room, was given the back of the building view… I got in late, I was exhausted so I settled for it once I got in the room. I smelled mold but tried to ignore it. I woke up with an awful headache from that mold smell and asked front desk to please move me which they did. Thank you staff for that move. The pool was out of commission, the spa wasn’t open most of the time I couldn’t book. Lastly I misplaced an AirPod, spoke with front desk, was told it was found by security and that they would come to my room and return it. I waited around until midnight (2 hours) and nothing. I went down before checking out and was told no one knows anything about it.

Overall I wish this was a better experience

The staff was polite and the room was great however the pool was closed which was a huge disappointment. The pool was one of the main reasons we booked this hotel so our kids(6 & 7) could swim. If we would have been notified that the pool was closed we would have booked somewhere else. We didn't find out about the pool until check-in.

During our stay the pool was unavailable and we were told we could use another hotel’s pool, which was kinda of a bummer and didn’t really give us an intention to want to do that. On another note, The parking was abysmal. Either pay $75 for valet or use the public parking that would also be around $60. Please next time having an affiliate with that parking garage so that way you can help your hotel guests get them a discount or validated.

A little rowdy, parking was a mess, overrun with obnoxious teenagers attending prom. The odor of weed was everywhere. Staff should have been more diligent in keeping adults from reserving rooms for their kids for the after prom festivities. Especially when there were international dignitaries staying and attending events.

Upon arrival I had no hot water in my room. I asked for another room Damon said it’s probably throughout the building and would be fixed by the morning . And someone would be up to my room to fix it at midnight. I asked again for another room just to see if the water was cold there too and it was. I stayed in the original room with no hot water. Breakfast the next morning I was told it wasn’t included. When I booked I pad $51 somewhere In the system it wasn’t communicated. There weren’t any vegan options that I was aware of until a server brought out an additional menu today. I was told by another server breakfast wasn’t included but I know I paid for it. Not sure if she really found it in the system but I wasn’t charged again far as I know. I might give them another try in the future benefits of being in colony square.

Only negative thing I could say I just wish we would’ve known that the pool was not gonna be functioning while we were there. I just would’ve taken up less space in my suitcase with coverups and bathing suits hats, etc. The food is a bar and the drinks were amazing. Everybody was really friendly.

The Starling Atlanta was a great place to stay. The hotel was clean, modern, and well maintained. Overall, the staff was friendly and professional, from the valet team to the front desk. The only exception was one female valet attendant who wasn't as pleasant as the rest of the staff, but everyone else provided excellent service.

A special shout-out to Bryan in the hotel restaurant. He provided outstanding service, was attentive and personable, and made our dining experience even better. The food was also excellent and exceeded our expectations.

Overall, we had a wonderful stay and would definitely recommend The Starling to anyone visiting Atlanta.

My stay at The Starling was really enjoyable. I loved the hotel overall, with the exception of the pool, which was under maintenance during my visit. The hotel did provide guests access to a pool at a nearby sister property, but I wasn’t interested in leaving the property just to swim.

I did treat myself to a massage at the spa, and it was fantastic. Omar was my masseuse, and I highly recommend him. The spa was clean, relaxing, and included wonderful amenities such as steam showers and a sauna.

My only real complaint was a small but frustrating interaction at the spa front desk. As I was leaving, the attendant asked if I wanted water, and the way it was presented made it seem complimentary rather than a purchase. I later discovered that it had been charged to my husband’s account. While I understand businesses need to generate revenue, I found the interaction misleading and a bit tacky.

Aside from that, I had a wonderful stay and would absolutely return. The hotel is conveniently located near Piedmont Park, and the rooms, as well as the entire property, were clean, comfortable, and well-maintained.

Great rooms, but that’s where it unfortunately ends. Their pool was out of service and perhaps even their air conditioning? Every time we were in the lobby or restaurants it was so hot, like sweating! I appreciated that because the pool was closed they gave us a comped breakfast, but it was limited to 2 items and on the menu looked appetizing, but the execution was so very mid. Very obvious there are some execution issues. Hope this is improved as I see the potential of this hotel to be very amazing! Appreciated that it was connected to a food court area! Also plan to pay $30+ a night for parking as there are no free/affordable options nearby.

It's nicely maintained and in a good location in MidTown. However, the valet parking fee is a ripoff. The plus tax comes out to $75.25 per night. As one of the attendants told me, \"it's the highest rate in the city.\" And getting your car is not 'easy in and out,' as it took about 15 minutes+ every time for them to bring my car around. For those prices, hire more staff to make it faster.
