Holiday Inn Select Atlanta Airport SouthBest of IgoUgo

Hotel | "Holiday Inn Select Airport South"

Holiday Inn Select
This relatively new hotel, located just a short distance from Hartsfield International Airport, has a few features other hotels don''t offer, such as windows that are more like residential windows instead of typical hotel windows. These windows actually open, allowing one to bring in fresh air and the noise from the nearby interstate and Hartsfield International Airport. This six floor, 190 room hotel has a cocktail lounge and a restaurant along with complimentary parking. Each room has two phone lines with (can you believe this) caller ID and a dataport. Each room also has a guest emergency button (hopefully all hotels will install one of these in the future). The lighting and environmental controls (heat and air) are activated by the room key. All King rooms feature shower stalls instead of bathtubs - a feature many new hotels are going to. Another feature this hotel has that many other new hotels are making a part of their inroom package is an inroom safe.
