I recently had the pleasure of staying at the Kimpton Shane Hotel in Atlanta and it was a comfortable experience overall.
My arrival was seamless thanks to the online check-in process and expedited key pickup at the front desk. Upon entering my room, I was pleased to find the heat on. There's nothing better than walking into a warm room when it's cold outside. The room was spacious, featuring a queen bed, sofa, and love seat. The "welcome to Atlanta, Natalie" greeting on the default TV channel was a nice touch.
I appreciated the in-room yoga mat and list of personal items that could be requested from the front desk.
I took advantage of the yoga mat to enjoy an in-room yoga workout before making my way down to the gym for a more rigorous workout each morning. The gym was a good size and offered a variety of equipment, including free weights, treadmills, ellipticals, Peloton bikes, and a rowing machine.
The filtered water station on each floor was a nice touch. It provided easy access to refreshing hydration.
The hotel offered a daily social hour from 5-6pm in a corner of the lobby directly across from the reception desk. The limited offering of pinot grigio or cabernet sauvignon and miniature hors d'oeuvres left much to be desired. Thankfully, the hotel redeemed itself with a more satisfying array of food options at its onsite restaurant.
There were a few hiccups during my stay. Housekeeping was inconsistent! Although bath towels were replaced daily, there was a noticeable absence of washcloths and a floor mat on day two. Additionally, facial tissues ran out unexpectedly. Maintenance had to be called for non-functioning lightbulbs in the bathroom, one of the room lamps, and even a battery replacement for the clock. Fortunately, the hotel promptly addressed these issues.
On a positive note, the VIP treatment from most of the staff stood out. From opening car doors to extending a warm welcome upon arrival, they truly made me feel valued. The aesthetically pleasing interior design, amenities, and location make the Kimpton Shane Hotel a solid choice for a comfortable stay in Midtown Atlanta.
