When booking this room for a seminar that was to be in house at Doubletree, there were several free options from which I could choose. I chose: Extra in-room coffee (Wofgang Puck...delicious), extra creamer etc, extra towels, slippers. All were provided and added to the luxury of the experience. Upon arrival I was treated to a warm chocolate and walnut cookie...mmmm. With complimentary coffee it was a delicious wait while they hastened to make my room complete even before check in time. They were indulgently courteous: a very nice perk to a single female traveler which often get "oh, you" as to hospitality. I think my Hilton HHonors status was a plus, and would recommend any traveler planning to stay in a Hilton to enroll. I had just enrolled, and yet it made me a preferred customer, which always adds to a stay. The room was very spacious and nicely appointed. Walking to restaurants was well within doing, and there was access to a shuttle that would take you to all of Buckhead from which you could get anything you'd like. The hotel dining looked quite delicious, though I was driving and headed out to a Buckhead BBQ joint most excellent. If driving, then parking is a bit of a fee. The way to go is come and go access for a minimal difference over park and stay. In a Hilton rating I fussed about the cost of parking, then subsequently received a free parking next stay pass from the manager of the hotel. They obviously are paying attention to their ratings, which is a good thing to see. It is a bit pricy for ALL of ATL, but not so much for the Buckhead area. It was in a nicely safe area, with much shopping potential if you are a walker at all, and relative ease to subway access from which most of ATL is available. I loved my stay, and plan to go back when my meeting venue is Buckhead or the Financial district. Oh, and the bartender downstairs very gladly lent me a glass with which to enjoy my BYOB wine, without making me feel like I was cheating her...for which I tipped her well, after the fact, and should have! Point being, she did it freely, expecting nothing. It was a totally lovely stay.
