Top hotels in East Side
The University Inn at Emory
The hotel manager was unbelievable. She was so sensitive to our needs. She went above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable, we had everything we needed, and we felt someone cared for us. I highly recommend the place just so you can meet her. She is an agel.
