Top hotels in East Side
The University Inn at Emory
this is a older, motel style property. i’m sure it will someday get a sleek renovation. Meanwhile it has WONDERFUL staff and a great location right by Emory hospital and main clinic. And easy shuttle access to other Emory facilities.

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.
