Atlanta Visiting from South Africa, need hotel recommendation for an Expo in May at GWCC
Posted: Sat March 17, 2007 07:16 PM UTC
Hi All

We are displaying products at an Expo at the GWCC in May. 3 guys about 50'ish. Will be working at GWCC during the day and need a place to sleep/eat at night. Won't be hiring a car, probably using MARTA if the Expo bus service can't reach us.

Can anyone recommend an hotel convenient to MARTA & restaurants that will not break the bank? (3 star).

Thanks in advance

Living here I don't stay in hotels here, but several people on VT have. Just type Atlanta in the 'desitnation search' block at the top of the page and you will get a lot of recommendations.

Tried that, and that's why I came to the forum instead :-)

The VT hotel listing doesn't do a good job of telling you:
- proximity to MARTA station
- value for money
- proximity to restaurants.

(When I look at VT's hotel listing for my own city, it is quite scary how useless some of that info is. Many good hotels are simply not listed, and some dodgy ones have fantastic ratings.......)

If you stay anywhere near the GWCC or in the downtown area you will be near a MARTA station and there will be restaurants of every description nearby. For MARTA rail and bus service, their website has pretty good info at: www.itsmarta.com/
