It smelled old musty. It was so SWAMPY AND HUMID. It made the room uncomfortable. I woke up with body pains I never have. There was no shampoo and body soap the first night and the pool was cloudy and green.
We had requested a king bed, but we got 2 queen beds. Smaller beds than we normally sleep in. We both tossed and turned all night long. Maybe got 3 hrs sleep!

Just quick overnight for a meeting next morning in the area. Room was nice except for musty smell that I did get used to after an hour or so. Bed was comfortable. Then I laid down and looked up and saw mold on the ceiling from apparent water damage from room above this one. I stayed and I lived but not sure if I’ll stay here again.
The stay was nice, the only thing is I asked for stay o er service for my bedding to be changed and fresh towels. I took the DND sign off the door like front desk said before I left and came back hours later and room was not set iced. Other than that room was clean and stay was nice. I would stay again

Stayed here on my drive back to Atlanta. Price was great. My hotel door had a broken extra lock and the tub drained slowly. The breakfast was ok. The area was very safe. Accidentally left my passenger side door open for a few hours and no one bothered my car.
The night clerk (a male) was AWFUL. We reserved 2 rooms and arrived around 8pm. One of the rooms had no working light when you entered. And then NO television that worked. I called and asked if he could help us and he laughed and said”he wasn’t a repair man” I told him it said it wasn’t connected to internet and he said he couldn’t give me the password. I asked for a different room and he said he can’t because then he couldn’t rent that room. The place was at least half vacant. I asked for management and he said it would be a couple days before I could talk to someone.
We have stayed at the Arc at least 2-3 nights per month for the past 3 years due to our jobs. I will NEVER stay there again. I left messages for a manager as well….this was last week on Wednesday. It is now Monday and still no call back.
Awful service and completely awful and disrespectful employee
The room was clean and we felt safe.
The room had a mini fridge and microwave and a Keurig machine.
The laundry facilities do not work.
The hot tub is out of order. The pool was dirty and the water was warm. The ice machine on the second floor is out of order. The waffle machine was out of order.
Breakfast was good, though, with eggs, sausage, biscuits& gravy, pastries and cereal.
I think it must be hard for all hotels to compete for business.
The room was maybe flooded and smell so bad, carpet was very dirty and smelly. They even had a blower just laying in the hallway

Very clean and nice people
Everything was great except the lamp beside the bed had no bulbs and the one on the dining table came in and went off randomly on its own so my husband swiped a bulb from the bathroom so we would have a light in the room.
