This is a shabby and slightly run down hotel, that is probably only getting the rate that they're requesting because of the location to downtown Atlanta. The hotel was an 11 min walk to State Farm Arena that advertised free parking, which is why I booked this hotel. Upon checking out, I was charged 18 for parking validation. There was a far better hotel in the same area, for the same price but the charged 55 to park per night. Outside of that, my room had one window that faced a brick wall, my room had no microwave or refrigerator, and the thermostat didn't seem to lower the temperature in the run. The hotel room gave the feel of a hourly motel. Definitely not worth 150 for 1 night. Breakfast was grits, eggs, sausage patties, and French toast stick, with the usual yogurt, apples, cereal, juice, and waffle maker. I would not stay again until it was the last option.

Hotel was nice and safe. Parking garage was a little challenging to navigate. Room was clean and looked as it was pictured. Shay at the front desk was very kind and helpful.

The hotel’s elevator was a little old and creaky, but no issues with it during our stay. Ice maker on our floor was broken, but located one on another floor and was able to manage just fine. Overall, not bad for the price and daily parking rate. Walked to State Farm arena and back on a Friday night as well with absolutely zero issues.

Don't plan on doing any work from the Hotel. The Internet is terrible and has the speed and reliability of 90's dial-up. Also, the \"gym\" if you like that sort of thing is a barely functioning 80's multi-hym and a couple of Target bought dumbells.

First of all, my room didn't have a working A/C unit, They give us FANS to use for our 2 day stay. The ice machine on floor 7 was out of order and the parking garage that the Hotel told us to park in the ELEVATOR was out of order and we were parked on the 5th level which meant we did a lot of walking just to get the car. I WANT A FULL REFUND because we were not given the room or basic amenities listed on the site. I didn't enjoy myself at all because my room was totally uncomfortable and very HOT oh yeah, and the window wouldn't open as well.

I didn’t receive the breakfast menu because I refused to stay at the property once I made it to the room . I recently stayed at what turned out to be one of the worst hotel experiences of my life, and I feel compelled to share the details to warn others.

From the moment I arrived, the atmosphere was off. The lobby was dusty, grime on the furniture and floors that made the place feel neglected. It was clear that cleanliness was not a priority here. The receptionist added to the dismal experience. Once I finally got my room, the disappointment continued .The accommodations were not only dusty but also poorly maintained. There were stains on the bedding, and the bathroom had a musty smell that lingered throughout my stay. Service was another major letdown. Overall, I wouldn’t let a dog stay at this hotel . The parking was terrible also . Between the unclean environment, unprofessional staff, and poor service, I wouldn’t recommend it to anyone. Not even a lizard ! They’re be better off outside!

Positives: breakfast and lobby coffee were fine. Security was good. Cleanliness satisfactory. Negatives: WIFI SUCKED. I never got a usable connection in my room. I had to work from the fitness center or at the table in the elevator lobby outside my room just to get merely adequate signal. Proprty feels just on the edge of keeping up with maintenance. The floor indicator light in the single elevator was non-functional.

Great place to stay near the State Farm Arena. Only about half mile walk.
The hotel had some retro look carpet in the hallways but rooms were freshly renovated and clean. The view from our window was another building’s wall about 7 inches from the window. So no view. We didn’t care just more safety for us girls’ stay. Breakfast was usual hotel breakfast but good waffles, sausage,eggs, biscuits, and pastries, Plenty to eat.
Beds are really comfortable and clean.

Inclement weather caused the reason I was coming to town to be cancelled. I called the hotel's reservations desk immediately and was given the \"leave your number and the first available representative will call you back\" option. I'm still waiting for a call two days later, having already paid for a room I couldn't use. I can live with that outcome, but it speaks very poorly for this hotel and for Marriott's ability or interest in serving guests.

Check in was the worst process I’ve ever had trying to check in anywhere. The only one card reader crashed and the worker had no idea how to try to amend it so I could check in and apparently manager didn’t answer the phone to give the worker guidance. So after 40-45 minutes of standing at the counter she finally figured it out after unplugging it and plugging it back in. Breakfast was pretty good, rooms are very old. My thermostat wouldn’t do anything but blow heat and the balcony door wouldn’t open to allow any outside air in to cool it off some. Decent hotel for the price, but spend the extra money and stay elsewhere.

The building needs a cosmetic update, but the rooms are clean and smell fresh (not musty or smoky). The front desk attendants are outstanding. Shay checked me in and offered helpful advice throughout my stay. She looked after my safety and welfare and responded quickly and completely to all of my questions. You cannot beat the price for this location and I would stay here again.

Friendly staff, clean rooms, has a balcony. Right in the heart of downtown Atlanta so it is within walking distance of several stores and shops.

It is a hundred year old building so we couldn't control the heat or air in the room individually. Meaning the building hear was on so that all you got is you turned the system on in the room. The breakfast was average based on what most breakfast options are offered in other hotels we've stayed in. They had scrambled eggs, sausage patties, grits, biscuits and sausage gravy, toast, muffins, Danish, cereals and milk, yogurt, and of course the best part the make your own waffles. Overly, it is worth the stay!

I think for the amount you pay for, this is a great budget friendly option. I’ve stayed at a lot of expensive hotels but decided to keep it cheap this time while sharing with a friend and I had to constantly remind myself that based on what I paid, this is what I paid for and I shouldn’t expect too much . I think the beds were a bit springy but still comfortable. Upon entering the bathroom, I noticed hair was still on the floor from previous people which was a bit gross. I felt like the room was cool enough that I didn’t need to use their portable air con which was fine. We had an issue where someone entered our room and front desk said they made a mistake with the keycards or something. Our keycards would also lose charge multiple times despite not being next to our phones, which was a bit annoying. Not having a fridge also sucked but it wasn’t a deal breaker. Unfortunately our floors ice machine, along with multiple other floors, had broken ice machines. It was little things that bugged me but I remind myself this is what I paid for , which was not much at all. Overall, I think this is still a good option if you’re looking for a cheap stay because overall it was still decent.

The room was clean. No refrigerator or microwave in the room, although, there was a coffee machine. And there was a balcony sliding door to access a mini-balcony from the room but it wasn’t accessible the door was locked. It seems like people that have stayed in the past had attempted to open so the sliding door wasn’t lined up. So you heard outside noise and the room took forever to get cool during our stay towards the end-of-summer. The bathroom is dated. Tile floor was stained or has mold growing (see picture). The continental breakfast was mid and super packed right at end of break.

The beds were comfortable and everything was clean. Pleasantly surprised by the breakfast! Biscuits and gravy, sausage and eggs, waffles, fruit, yogurt… it was so good! The parking was super convenient and with the hotel’s validation sticker, you will not find cheaper parking in the city! The location of the hotel was so close to everything we did that we just walked everywhere. Concerning the AC in the room…. other reviews worried me bc as a perimenopausal woman, I already run hot, so I really need my room to be cool! When I first walked in, I was concerned that it wasn’t cold enough, but I will say I did not get too hot overnight. And I even brought my own fan just in case, but I never used it. This was my first time staying at Barclay, but anytime I need to come to ATL for a concert or anything else, this will be my go to!

However upon check out I was presented with a text stating I caused the flooding and they would be keeping my deposit and money for 4 days. I have reached out to my lawyer. And I am going to file on charges and complaint
