"Atlantans groaned when the Braves left their historic home in Summerhill for a spot just OTP (that’s “Outside the Perimeter”), but the Battery mostly makes up for it. It’s a come-as-you-are setting with families, friends, and couples milling about. Each room presents a fun take on the baseball theme, an homage to the hotel’s next-door neighbor. A red, white, and blue motif could be cheesy, but it works in these guest rooms with blue gingham-patterned chairs and baseball-themed artwork. Keep an eye out for the framed antique scouting reports. It’s a great place to stay with kids, thanks to its excellent location and on-site pool. There’s even a nightly turndown service for kids with milk and cookies (but we won’t tell them if you keep those cookies for yourself)." - Lia Picard, Allison Weiss Entrekin
