Top hotels in East Side
The University Inn at Emory
"The location is great if you're visiting campus. The staff was friendly and available for questions. The pool is not in working order and hasn't been for years. The rooms are very dated and have an older smell but again, they were clean."

4 Minutes to Downtown by the Atlanta Beltline Trail in the Cabbagetown Neighborhood
"The apartment was great for a group of friends. The location is great with lots of things within walking distance. There is a garden in the back which is good for relaxing at home. There were a few rough edges but for the price that could be expected. All in all, good value, location and hosts."
