What you get
The AC Hotel by Marriott Atlanta Downtown lists the full set you expect from a downtown Marriott: a 24 hour front desk, free wifi, air conditioning, a restaurant, a bar, a lounge, an outdoor pool and a fitness centre. Rooms carry a desk, safe, refrigerator, coffee, hairdryer, iron and board, bathrobe, toiletries and a TV with pay per view. There is parking and valet parking, a business center with copy and printing, laundry and dry cleaning, a market, family rooms, wheelchair access and pets allowed. Outdoors there is a terrace. The list is thin on transport specifics: no airport shuttle and no rail details are stated, and breakfast is listed without saying whether it is included.
For someone staying at the AC Hotel by Marriott Atlanta Downtown, this adds up to a functional base rather than a destination. The 3 star rating and the guest score of 4.2 from 1736 reviews point to a place that runs to standard and is used by a lot of people. It suits a business traveller with meetings in the downtown core, a convention attendee, or anyone who wants a Marriott address with a pool after the workday. It does not suit a visitor who wants a small independent hotel, a quiet residential street or a holiday built around walking out to bars and restaurants, because Downtown here is a business grid and this property is built for it.

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 your dates are set and you want a central Marriott with a pool, because the cancellation terms below let you change your mind. 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.
