Atlanta Travel Forum

Hi i will be arriving from Dublin and have 19hr layover and am looking for a hotel close to the airport. One with a free shuttle would be great too. Will be arriving the 13th Feb 2009.

Thanks

Actually, practically every well known American chain has a hotel with free shuttle service to and from the airport. It's basically a matter of your preference and budget. Hyatt Place is a newer one. There's also a nice Hilton and Hilton Garden Inn. Check out prices on something like hotels.com.

Although you don't ask, there are a few nice sights in the downtown and midtown areas all of which are accessible by the MARTA train directly from the airport if you have time for it. My pages have a few suggestions as do many of the other Atlanta VTers. Hope this helps.

Hello Nigel! As Dave said, almost every major hotel chain has a presence near the airport with shuttle service. The train runs from the airport through the middle of town so if you wanted to get a bit further out or right downtown you wouldn't have a problem with that either.

I've met a few VT'ers (and picked up/dropped off a few) at the airport. I live about 5-10 minutes away and wouldn't mind playing tour guide for any Vt'ers who happen to have a long layover here. :-) (and nope, not a professional tour guide. I just like meeting other travelers and showing a few parts of the city not easily accessible by train but worth visiting.)
