Holiday Inn Express & Suites Alpharetta – Windward Parkway

Stayed for Valentine’s Day weekend and my husband and I were thoroughly impressed with this place. When we first got our room there might’ve been a mix up because when we entered the room there were rose petals on the floor like someone had already checked into that room. We notified the front desk immediately and they apologized and gave us a new room right away with no hesitation.
Upon entering the new room you could tell everything was clean, temperature was perfect, and it smelled clean too. (I have bad allergies and I can sense dust and strong perfumes from miles away.) They had a single cup Keurig, microwave, and full-​size fridge in our room. We made great use of the foot stool/​storage where we placed our shoes. I also found the bathroom to be very clean as well.
Free breakfast is always great, the options were vast with eggs, sausage, oatmeal, pancakes, and muffins/​bagels. They also have free wifi that worked very well, not like the kind of wifi you get when a million people are on it trying to browse the internet.
Also, the area was great. Lots of shopping, grocery, and restaurants nearby. Sometimes when booking a hotel from out of town you never know what area you will be staying in. This area was definitely nice and convenient with only being 30 min from downtown ATL. I’ll definitely be staying here again and at other Holiday Inn Express and Suites just from this past visit.

The hotel was okay, the photos can be deceiving. The fridges are micro fridges, not full size as pictured. The room was clean, you can tell they went through a remodel and tried to update, they still have the floor ac units, which was very loud and never turns off… with 2 toddlers leaving some sort of night light on is a necessity, you can’t leave the bathroom light on and leave a Crack in the door, the vent is constantly on with the light, there is no privacy, the sink is at the foot of the bed, with no door. The «bathroom is tight with only a toilet and tub/​shower. We had a fire alarm, which turned out to be a false alarm I guess at 6am… with 2 toddlers it was not fun, no apologies or explanation from staff. I did advise front desk when we checked out that the ac unit was loud, he just said he would send maintanence to the room, I saw this as a problem in reviews before going, so I’m sure nothing will be done. The price was decent with discount websites, they did offer hot/​cold, breakfast a step up from continental. Don’t expect a full spread. Conveniently close to restaurants and some shopping. It suited our needs with some work arounds and just bearing with the ac unit. The King Size bed is not a true Kingsize bed!

Very nice! Was surprisingly very decent. The rooms were nice. We had two queen beds with a nice sitting area. Spacious & clean. Breakfast was very good the first day and the second day it wasn’t bad just not AS good. (Biscuits, bacon, ham, eggs, omelets, cereal, yogurt, apples, juice, coffee, pancakes, & such as.). Very satisfied with the stay!

I booked through
and the room was $ 79/​nt plus taxes and fees. The outdoor pool was chilly even at the end of July in the evening, quite different for this native Floridian, but refreshing in the warmth of the afternoon. The room we were in was perfect for my husband two kids (3 years and 5). We had a king bed for us and they had a pull out sleeper sofa. The king bed was OH SO COMFY! Best rest we’ve had in a while… need to buy that mattress for my house! The room had a full fridge, microwave, and coffee pot ready. Ironing board and iron were available as well. Updated style of the rooms, furnishings bathrooms (except the toilet and actual tub), and felt very modern traditional. It was clean and we were greeted with friendly staff and nature sounds in our room when we checked in. The breakfast is standard, but is included. It’s close to some really great restaurants and easy access to interstate to get to Atlanta within 30 minutes.

Wow! Super impressed with this hotel. First time at a holiday inn express.
I travel to the Alpharetta area often and have stayed at just about every hotel in a 10 mile radius. I was upset when I realized I had forgotten to book my hotel before going on vacation. «Holiday Inn, is all that’s left?» I hesitantly booked and splurged the extra $ 15 a night for a king suite…
My lanta I have never been more blown away. Not at all what I was expecting. Fresh white linen, super clean full size fridge and sink, top of the lain stainless steal… The bed looks spectacular, given the low price tag I wasn’t expecting a room capable of giving a south beach hotel a run for there money.
All in all super pleased with my stay will be back!

If you are a group, DO NOT stay here!!!
Over a month ago we held 15 rooms for our baseball team.
Multiple families called to confirm with a credit card as we were instructed to do
and the hotel staff told us it was not needed. One parent
Forced the gentleman on the phone to take the card. He was reluctant but took it and stated that all was confirmed. Now a month later we are being told out rooms were released and hotel is sold out because NO parents called to give credit cards. We are now left with very little options in terms of hotels.
Thanks Holiday Inn Express and Kelly in group booking. Simply an AWFUL customer experience!

I booked our room on Hotels dotcom and was told the name of the hotel was Hotel Sierra well after driving around I finally pulled into the Holiday Inn Express in which I noticed a combination of both of the names. The guy checking in seemed a bit frazzled as there were many people walking in also I noticed at least 3 police cars outside and police just walking in all over the place and then one police officer asked the hotel clerk is there anyone in 108 and he knew absolutely nothing it was just weird. So we get to the room and it looked nice. So we were exhausted and all I wanted to do is shower and take a bath to my surprise the bathroom was DIRTY!!! hair all on the toilet along with some debris, behind the bathroom door there was a used lotion bottle and a huge hair ball. My husband then informed that there were pubic hairs in the bed on the sheets it was gross. I then went to call down to the front desk and the phone was broken. I then had to go out of my way and go all the way down and tell the lady at the front desk. She apologized and said she’d come and change the sheets but the bathroom couldn’t get cleaned until the next day as well as the phone couldn’t be changed. Housekeeping didn’t show up until around 2 the next day and guess what when she so called cleaned the bathroom she didn’t clean behind the door the same used lotion bottle was there and the hairball I called back down and all the guy at the front desk could say is well I can give you the managers email he could honestly careless. This was the worst hotel experience I’ve ever come across. Oh the front desk clerk checked the first night to see if they had any rooms for us to move to and she said they were completely booked. Also the ice machine on the 2^nd floor is broken. Our Valentines Day getaway was not so pleasant thanks to the inconvenience of this hotel.

Damp floor in room, loud AC, poorly organized buffet took 36 min to get instant eggs, greasy sausage and worst home fries ever. Also their fire alarm went off at 7:30am due to construction on the floor above us.

Clean rooms. Excellent service. Delicious free breakfast. Free wifi. We came to GA to attend the Drive Conference. Don’t look any further, stay here! A great value for the price.

(3.75 stars) I’ve only stayed in one Hotel Sierra previously, in the Seattle area. Some of the signage indicates this to be a Hyatt brand, while the front desk states that it is now independently owned. This is a six story mid-​sized property at the upper end of the middle tier for fit and finish, but with a few decidedly high end amenities.
Hotel Sierra is easily reached from GA-​400 and offers adequate parking. The lobby is understated and sleek, in a Nordic fashion, and quite similar to the Seattle area property. My room was on one of the suites floors, and had a nearby breakfast and reception area apart from the main lobby. Rooms are nicely-​sized, particularly for the nightly rate, and well-​appointed. I found the bed to be comfortable, although a firmer mattress would have better suited my personal preferences. Toiletries were of an upscale «mall brand,» and very nice.
In-​room WiFi worked well, as did the flat screen televisions; a broader range of channels would have been welcomed, but the available selections were adequate. The breakfast area, which also offered pre-​dinner snacks, was very nice. Breakfast food selection and quality were definitely a cut above.
The Hotel Sierra was a quick jog from my client who had made the reservation; I was truly surprised to see such an affordable rate associated with a motel of this caliber.

Very friendly staff, Clean rooms, Comfortable beds, the breakfast in the morning is great too. In a really good location, has everything you need within walking distance

Wow. I was hugely impressed. I stayed there for four nights last week and I am pleased to report that it was the best price/​value combo that this frequent traveler has ever encountered. First off, the location is a very quiet cul de sac off Windward Pkwy a few minutes from GA 400. The suites are spacious and well-​appointed, with a great desk and lighting. Powerful WiFi. Big flat-​screen TV and upscale toiletries, including a terry bath robe, are never seen in ~$ 100 per night hotels. The staff was superb. You can order a custom omelet for breakfast. It’s included in the rate. They also have a free wine and beer reception with decent food in the evenings. Ismael is a convivial chef and all-​around helper. The gym is big and even has free weights. Often, I was the only one there. It’s also close to an extensive trail system, where guests can run, walk or bike. If you get tired of the breakfast, you can walk across the street to Panera Bread. Vinny’s, a 4-​star restaurant, is just footsteps away. 4 – 5 star amenities and service at 2 star pricing. What’s not to like?

Arrived here late at night and nice lady at the desk checked us into our room in under 5 minutes.
Walked into the room and the first thing I noticed is the extremely soothing sound of music playing on the digital music/​clock player and the room was at a nice cool temperature. The beds and sheets were extremely comfortable and the sheets were clean.
Bathroom was spotless with plenty of bath towels, however they could probably be replaced with newer plushy ones.
Arriving so late, we were hungry with no nearby restaurants open except for a sports bar but, having kids in tow, decided to opt for the options in the hotel’s vending machine which was not too bad. We purchased some Schwann’s frozen chicken pot pies for $ 3 each and that satisfied.
Room was fitted with microwave, small fridge, sink, utensils, dishes, glasses, cups, coffee maker, dish soap and paper towels. Hotel Sierra you are amazing!
The comfy sofa converts to sleeper sofa and room came equiped with a nice desk to do any work on.
Woke up too late to take advantage of the buffett free breakfast and never had a chance to eat at the nightly free dinner but the menus looked very enticing — spaghetti, bbq, hot dogs, burgers, fruit, chips, drinks. This place is awesome!
Out the back door if you walk across the street, you’ll find a Starbucks, Subway, Costco. This appears to be a very newly developed area of Alpharetta and looks secure and maintained. ATT was right around the curve from Hotel Sierra.
This is the perfect hotel for our trip to Georgia.

I am pleased as punch with this place. The breakfast was 5 stars all by itself. The bed was big and luxurious. The kitchen was awesome, the showers were heaven.
The price was roughly $ 80 a night which was extremely pleasing to the pocket when visiting for a concert. I can’t say enough about the patient and happy staff. 200 plus Phish friends doing things you don’t want to tell your mother about all day and night AND they never said a word. They simply smiled and said, «Have a nice time».
Totally love this place. Clean. Fresh. The best place to stay besides home.

Very nice hotel I’ve paid four times as much to stay at hotels with fewer amenities. Free wifi, kitchenettes with microwave, fridge, sink, dishes, glasses, etc. The room was big with two double beds plus a double pullout couch. Not many places accomodate me, my wife and three kids. Most require we get a second room.

Wow, for the price it doesn’t get better than this.
Got this last minute on
when I got a gift of SEC Championship tix. Everything was spotless, room was comfy, free breakfast.
On top of that, the staff was very helpful in advising how to get around to the Dome on Marta.

I stayed at this hotel on a business trip. First of all it was very economical and right next to Cingular Wireless’ HQ. This was ideal for me. Though I was really skeptical about the quality until I reached here.
The lobby is specklessly clean. The décor is very well done and tasteful. Staff is very cordial and polite. The hotel has a beautiful lobby where they serve free (yes free!) full breakfast, 24 hr coffee and social hour in the evening with food and drinks !
I rented a King Suite and the room was very clean. The décor in the room was also similiar. The room comes with a full kitchen ! Complete with a big refridgerator, stoves, utensils, cutlery, dinnerware, glasses as well as wine glasses ! I have never seen a hotel for such economical price provide such facility before. Room also has a small office area to work in.
The area this hotel is located in is very convenient. Its quiet and safe. Many restaurants within walking distance which adds to convenience.
The only reason they lost a star is because I was told by the front desk that they dont have any kind of shuttle service and I had to haul my behind in train and cab. But when I stayed there they had a big van parked right in front of the door. No good chief !
I would still recommend it to anyone traveling to the Alpharetta area.
