Atlanta police told Channel 2’s Michael Seiden it happened at the Residence Inn on Piedmont Road.
When officers responded to the hotel Sunday night, they said they knocked on a guest’s door and met 27-year-old Keona Presley.
According to an arrest affidavit, the officers smelled marijuana coming from the room.
Once inside, officers counted 27 teenagers, some as young as 14, partying in a room with no adults except for Presley. Officers also found three guns, one in the bathroom and two others hidden under a mattress.

Presley bonded out of jail on Tuesday. When asked for comment, she said she was busy at work and would prefer to discuss the allegations in person.
