Mixed Feelings About Nobu Atlanta
I stayed at Nobu Atlanta twice this year--once in February and again in May. Here's my detailed experience:
**Reservations:**
Reservations for the restaurant go fast, so you want to book your table before you even get to the hotel. Unfortunately, during my February stay, I couldn't get into the restaurant due to it being fully booked.
**Check-In:**
Check-in is pleasant and comfortable. You're greeted with a warm tea, a hand towel, and beautiful flower arrangements adorn the hotel. The hallways smell great, adding to the calming vibe.
**Service:**
This is where things fell short. The service is extremely slow, both at the restaurant and the pool. During my May stay, I finally managed to dine at the restaurant. While the drinks were phenomenal and some dishes were really good, the overall experience was disappointing due to slow service and long wait times. It didn't feel like a luxurious experience.
**Poolside Service:**
Both times I stayed, the pool was advertised as having bar service, but there was none. Despite being advertised to start after 4 PM, there was no poolside service all day. I had to go downstairs in my bathing suit to get things like water, ice, and lunch.
**Perks:**
The location is great, being directly in the same plaza as the mall. The spacious rooms, hardwood floors, and double sinks are definitely highlights.
**Overall:**
While there are some great aspects of Nobu Atlanta, they need to make significant improvements to their service. I would love to return and recommend it, but not until these issues are addressed.
