Hampton Inn Lawrenceville

Huge flat-panel TVs a generous free breakfast and not just free coffee in the lobby but strawberry-lemon water too lead to top ratings from our guests for the Hampton Inn Lawrenceville. All the tools needed to get work done — from free Wi-Fi and a coffeemaker to an ergonomic chair desk and dual-line speakerphone with voicemail — are standard in the 85 rooms some non-smoking of this low-rise hotel. But even business travelers couldn't be blamed for heading straight for the plush bed and turning on the 42-inch plasma TV. In the morning guests sate their hunger on fresh waffles and other treats at the breakfast buffet. It can always be worked off later at the fitness center or at the outdoor pool on sunny days. A business center with free printing helps those on deadline stay on track and if it's Monday-Thursday an evening reward awaits in the form of free appetizers and drinks at the manager's reception. Parking is free. The Hampton Inn is about halfway between Atlanta and Athens next to a shopping center and two miles from Gwinnett Medical Center. It's a 10-minute drive one way to historic Lawrenceville and about 10 minutes the other to the Discover Mills Mall. Downtown Atlanta is 40 minutes away. Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport is 38 miles from the hotel.
