What you get
The Holiday Inn Express & Suites Atlanta Downtown by IHG is a three star property on Cone Street Northwest, in Downtown Atlanta. The listed facilities cover the basics well: free wifi, air conditioning, a desk, a safe and a coffee machine for the room, plus a bar or snack cafe, a business centre, a fitness centre and a gymnasium, a lounge and a market. There is a garage with parking and valet parking, a 24 hour front desk with security, laundry, dry cleaning, luggage storage and lifts. The list is thin on outdoor space and on anything beyond the standard hotel offer, and breakfast is listed as a buffet rather than anything more specific.
What this adds up to is a functional hotel in a central location rather than a destination in itself. The Holiday Inn Express & Suites Atlanta Downtown by IHG is set up for someone who wants a bed, a shower, a desk and a hot breakfast without spending time in the building. It suits a business traveller, a conference attendee or someone passing through who wants to be near the centre of Downtown. It does not suit a holidaymaker looking for character, quiet or a resort feel, and anyone who wants to spend their days on site will find the list runs out quickly.

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 the central location and the standard hotel setup and nothing more. 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.
