I'm at the Shearton Atlanta right now on a conference rate and was given an "Executive Suite" on the 10th floor. Nice corner room, but it was laid out as an accessible room. The bathroom was all tile with a large open shower, low angle mirrors and no counter-space. Props to SA for having accessible suites, but it didn’t really work for me. I asked if something else was available and they moved me to the same room on a different floor that is not set up for access. It is a much nicer room (newer carpets) with the same big-screen TV mentioned by clover. They were very nice about the change, so I’m happy. (One interesting thing about the accessible suite; it had an in-room safe. No safe in the other room. Again, hopefully, SA looking out for all their customers.)

The hotel is definitely nicer in the public areas than the rooms or outside for that matter. I ate at Fandangles; their upscale martini bar/restaurant. Had a great Chopin on the rocks (I know, kind of hard to screw up…) and wedge salad. I also had the French Dip which sucked. The fried pickles were cold and the “thin sliced roast beef” tasted like the sliced meat that comes in the glass jar. Definitely hoping a cab to the Atlanta Fish Market tomorrow.

FWIW
