Frommer's Review
A dramatic downtown landmark, the Marriott Marquis is a first-class megahotel designed by Atlanta's John Portman, who also designed the Hyatt Regency (reviewed above). Fronted by a vast fountain that looks like a flying saucer, the hotel has a 50-story atrium lobby that is said to be the largest in the Southeast. The rooms are attractively decorated in a contemporary style, and the spiffy bathrooms have hair dryers and upscale toiletries. Forty-two rooms are wheelchair accessible. The Marriott is connected by covered walkway to shops in the Peachtree Center mall.
Facilities:
2 restaurants; sports bar; lounge; deli; large indoor/outdoor swimming pool; full fitness center; Jacuzzi; concierge; airport shuttle; conference and banquet facilities; shops; salon; 24-hr. room service; Delta Air Lines desk

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.
Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.
The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
