My kids and I were traveling from Texas to visit my husband working in Atlanta. I chose the Amberley Suites after searching for hours online. It seemed very nice by appearance. I chose to call the hotel and personally book our reservations over the phone. I did ask several questions confirming the advertisement online for things like...free HOT buffet style breakfast, Happy hour drinks kin the lobby,pool, hot tub, gym, etc. Upon asking, I was guaranteed that it was JUST LIKE what I saw online. However, when we arrived we soon found out that it was nothing but a big FAT LIE!!!! The looks from the outside were deceiving of what lurked behind closed doors. We could tell that it was a very nice hotel at one time but that upon poor management....it was surely going downhill. The room we booked was a kitchenette style. It smelled awful...like mold or something peculiar. The ceilings were covered in what looked like old water stains. The place seemed clean...except the old rust stains in the bathroom and the broken drain cover in the bathtub. We didn't have any dishes...called to retrieve them but never were brought to us. We couldn't even get clean towels after using the two that were in the room. BUT that's not all....when we went to the restaraunt for our HOT breakfast, we found cereal, toast and bagels...weak coffee, juice and milk. It was a huge diasapointmant. When I asked the front desk, I was told that the buffet style breakfast had not been active for a year. What an unpleasant surprise...
BUT, that's not what finally sent us packing. I could live with not having a HOT breakfast as long as we had something to eat. Later that evening, we all got ready for the pool and hottub. Well, lo and behold....the pool and hottub were both closed due to cleaning. WOW!!!! That was blow that could not be ignored because I was LIED to more than once! I immediatly called the front desk and they informed me that the pool and hottub wouldn't be ready until April 1st...AFTER we left. I went on to tell the manager how very dissappointing it all was....and that I wanted a refund. She promptly apoligized and said we would receive a full refund. Well, we got all but one night of $35 back. It was not fun repacking and moving...especially when your Husband is working and you have to do it all on your own with 4 kids. I strongly recommend the Drury Inn and Suites. It's higher in price but if you can get a deal like we did....it's well worth the money. Plus, the Amberley Suites is in a bad neighborhood....people standing on the street and in the parking lot selling drugs and smoking crack. I didn't need to see that...but that's what I was told they were doing from one other dissatisfied guest who was in the process of leaving.
