What you get
Hampton Inn Atlanta Georgia Tech Downtown lists the ordinary machinery of a chain hotel and lists it thoroughly. You get free wifi, air conditioning, a TV, a refrigerator, a hairdryer, an iron and board and a safe in the room. The desk runs round the clock, security is on site, and there is a business center, a fitness center, a games room, a market, laundry and dry cleaning, luggage storage, lifts and wheelchair access. Parking runs to a garage and valet. Pets are allowed. What the list does not include is anywhere to eat or drink beyond a bar or snack cafe, and there is no pool and no restaurant.
For a two star property, Hampton Inn Atlanta Georgia Tech Downtown is well equipped rather than bare: coffee, a cot, family rooms, express check in, a concierge and a smoking area all appear, and the guest score of 4.1 out of 5 from 956 reviews suggests the basics are handled. The verdict is narrow. This is right for you if Georgia Tech is the reason you are in Atlanta and you want a bed, a desk and a place to leave the car. It is wrong for you if you are here for a holiday, want a pool or a kitchen, or plan to spend your days in neighbourhoods far from campus.

Where it puts you
You are staying in Georgia Tech, on the north side of town, in a district built around a campus. The rail label is Tech Square, Red or Gold, which puts two train lines within reach and a straight run into downtown. Campus hotels here empty out in summer and drop their rates with it. Ten minutes on the train to downtown.
The BeltLine sits at mile 16.8 and the trail label reads 1.0 mi to trail, so the trail is close enough to reach on foot from this side of the neighbourhood. This suits anyone tied to the university, to a game or a conference, and anyone who wants the train rather than a car. It does not suit a holiday built on restaurants, nightlife or sightseeing, because the streets around here belong to the campus and go quiet when it does.
Booking it
Book this one if the campus is the point of your trip, because its position is the whole argument and the room is a means to that end. 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.
