What you get
Embassy Suites by Hilton Atlanta at Centennial Olympic Park lists the full set you expect from a three star convention hotel. There is a 24 hour front desk with express check in and luggage storage, a business centre, a fitness centre and gymnasium, an outdoor pool and a terrace with a lounge and bar. Rooms come with air conditioning, a desk, a refrigerator, a microwave, a coffee maker, a sofa bed, a safe, a TV with pay per view and free wifi. Family rooms, cots and wheelchair accessible rooms are available, and pets are allowed. The thinner parts of the list are practical rather than glamorous: parking is a garage with valet, and the facilities mention cleaning and housekeeping without specifying what happens when.
What that adds up to is a hotel set up for people who are here for something. Embassy Suites by Hilton Atlanta at Centennial Olympic Park puts you in Downtown, close to the centre, with Five Points, all lines, as the rail label, and 0.8 mi to trail. You get breakfast, a pool and a room with a refrigerator and microwave, which matters if you are travelling with children or staying several days for a conference. Book it if you want a base with a business centre and a bar downstairs and you are happy with a large property. Do not book it if you want a small independent place, a quiet street or a holiday that is about the building itself.

Where it puts you
You are staying Downtown, inside the loop, where the train at Five Points puts every line in the city within reach. That is the point of the location: you can move around Atlanta without a car, and the rest of the trip is built on that. The site's own line on the neighbourhood is blunt about the trade: the cheapest walk to a train in the city, with convention traffic setting the price, so a Tuesday in January is a different hotel than a Tuesday in October.
The BeltLine trail is also here, and the 0.8 mi to trail is the figure to keep in mind if you plan to walk or run it. This suits anyone whose trip runs on transit and convention schedules. It does not suit a holiday built around quiet streets and long, slow mornings.
Booking it
Book this one if you want a suite with a kitchenette and a pool in Downtown rather than a room-only hotel. Most rooms here can be cancelled free, and you book them through app.impt.io. Every confirmed booking removes one tonne of CO2, at no extra cost to you. Five percent of what you pay comes back as IMPT credit, out of the hotel commission rather than added to your bill.
