2007 Championship .. who's staying where?

[sporno]

well guys?

[65_Xero_Huskie]

The past couple years we have stayed at the Marriot and we havnt had any problems with it. I hope we get it again, but we have to talk to our lead to see where shes going to get. Theres always prom going on there every year so its always fun to see them aswell

[Rick-906]

we always stay at super 8 :mad: but hey, its close... last year i spent like half my time at the hilton anyway. This year, i say everyone should stay at the ritz, very high class and all that.

[Cory]

Embassy Suites

[kjhobin]

Hyatt for 555 and 1929

[Laura 1547]

good times at the hilton last year!!! the only problem was the long walk to the georgia dome. hopefully if we make to nationals again this year we stay somewhere closer

[Koko Ed]

Me I'm going down a couple days early and staying at my brother's house.
I'm not sure where the X-Cats are staying quite yet.

[nparikh]

Oh how I wish we were staying at the Omni again :(

But apparently it's booked up already--some huge convention is there that weekend. I believe the Westin (or whatever the huge cylindrical hotel is) is where 25 will be at.

[Donut]

We'll be at the Mariott Marquee; one of our mentors is an employee of Mariott and tells us it's one of the better ones, so I think it will be good.

[Brandon Holley]

travelodge suckas

[Tom Bottiglieri]

I will be in the Westin Peachtree.. woo!

[Lil' Lavery]

116 will be at the Westin as well this year (oh god, 25 and Tom in our hotel...this will be...umm.... interesting). We wanted to stay at the Embassy Suites like we did in 2005, but it got booked too fast :(

[anna~marie]

I believe that HOT is again planning to stay in the Mariott Marquee

[Alan Anderson]

Expect the TechnoKats (FRC #45) at the Westin this year as well.

[Heather302]

Well team 302 is staying at Embassy Suites!!!:D :yikes: :)

[AdamHeard]

I don't remember exactly, but we will either be at the embassy suites or the westin.

[Danny McC]

i believe that we will be staying at westin again so yeah im sure ill see most of you.

[burkechrs1]

i think we're at the embassy....

[bjimster1]

We'll be staying at the Atlanta Hotel Residence Inn Historic Midtown.

[MOE]

TEAM 88 TJ2 will be at the WESTIN this year, GOOD LUCK TO ALL!! :D
Seee Yaaaaa Sooon MOE and Team 88 TJ2

[Joe Matt]

I heard a rumor the Omni is housing some other FIRST people and that they moved the kids out of there, but hey, what do I know.

I think my parents are trying to get into the Omni, if not, some place near where the Ritz was last year. I forget what it's called.

[Athleticgirl389]

Team 102 is staying at the Quality Inn.... So I am told by the lady making our flight and hotel reservations. Hope to be rooming with another team haha.

[Travis Hoffman]

Delphi E.L.I.T.E. 48 will be staying at the Marriott Marquis.

[teenmisfit]

Team 501 Powerknights will be at the marriot. How far is that from the hilton?

[rw55ryan]

embassy suites is where team 2228 cougartech is staying

[wendymom]

Exploding Bacon is at Sleep Inn in Buckhead......across the parking lot from the Towne Suites

[Alex Cormier]

embassy suites is where team 2228 cougartech is staying

Does that also mean that the three Xerox team will be staying at the suites?

I loved those suites!!!

[MasterChief 573]

We stayed at the Hyatt last year but this year Team 573 will also be at the Westin. We've never been there, is it a nice hotel?

[GaryVoshol]

We stayed at the Hyatt last year but this year Team 573 will also be at the Westin. We've never been there, is it a nice hotel?

Very nice, good rooms and public spaces. The only real problem we had was with the elevators. If you're near the midpoint, you might consider using the elevator to the upper floors and then walk down a couple flights of stairs.

Oh, and the path to the pool is confusing.

[smurfgirl]

We stayed at the Hyatt last year but this year Team 573 will also be at the Westin. We've never been there, is it a nice hotel?

Team 1124 stayed at the Westin Peachtree Plaza last year, and overall it was amazing; nice rooms, nice lobby, and a pool... we had lots of fun there. My one complaint would be the elevators; they were having a lot of elevator problems and it could take half an hour to get an elevator to stop on your floor coming from either direction.

[cziggy343]

i think that we will stay at the marriot. but i don't no.

[evanisthat!]

We stayed at the Hyatt last year but this year Team 573 will also be at the Westin. We've never been there, is it a nice hotel?

The Westin is a great place to stay, except, like everyone else said, the elevators. 108 is staying there again!

[triggerhappy336]

Does that also mean that the three Xerox team will be staying at the suites?

I loved those suites!!!

haha, you would have a better idea then me. We made these plans before we even knew Xerox was gonna help out.

If they are we should have a FLR party :cool:

[Jim E]

Team 1523 and 179 are staying at the Indio again. It's a very nice small hotel if you can tolerate the beggars bumming for money after 7 PM.

[TheNotoriousKid]

I heard a rumor the Omni is housing some other FIRST people and that they moved the kids out of there, but hey, what do I know.

I think my parents are trying to get into the Omni, if not, some place near where the Ritz was last year. I forget what it's called.

no...the omni is being used for a medical conference or something and is booked during the championship

[MasterChief 573]

Well it sounds like its gonna be WAY better than the Family Inns of America or as I like to call it 70's Hell. Two questions one does it have Wi-Fi, and two who wants to have an Xbox party there?

[Beth Sweet]

You can find 1504 at the Amerisuites by the airport, we'll be training in to to competition each day!

[IndySam]

Exploding Bacon is at Sleep Inn in Buckhead......across the parking lot from the Towne Suites

Cool we will be neighbors. The Digital Goats will be at the Towne Suites.

[technoL]

Looks like The Westin will be the hot spot for teams this year now that The Omni is out of the picture. I suppose we'll all get to know each other a little better waiting for those elevators...:rolleyes:

Good times, good times!

[SnareDrummer37]

The Bomb Squad (Team 16) will be staying at the AmeriSuites in downtown Atlanta.

Has anybody ever stayed there? Last year we were at the Holiday Inn right down the street from the dome...

[sporno]

anyone been to the marriot marquee? It looks nice , but looks can be deciving

[santosh]

The Marriot Marquis is AMAZINGLY Nice. I highly recommend it.
However, the CircuitRunners will be staying at the Hyatt.
If anyone wants to hang out, PM me. Us seniors on the CircuitRunners are looking to try and have a great time as our last year as students at Championships.

[MasterChief 573]

Wow, is that you Mr Vashol, I didn't notice that for a while. Is Oaktown staying at Westin this year, it would be awesome to hang with you guys and see how my old team is doing.

[Chuck Glick]

If I remember correctly, team 1712 will be at the Embassy Suites...but don't quote me on that just yet.:o

[GaryVoshol]

Oaktown Crewz 1188 will be at the Sheraton this year.

[Jay Trzaskos]

Hey, if anyone has some extra floor space they are willing to rent out, hit me up with a PM, I'm starting to run out of options for a place to stay. :p

[Bill Moore]

So far, the Hyatt will host 555, 1929, 1002 and 365.

[Jeremiah Johnson]

QC Elite, 648, will be at the Embassy Suites Galleria, where we stayed in 2004. It's a nice hotel and not a bad drive to and from the Georgia Dome (only 10 miles compared to 18 in Chicago).

[Pat Fairbank]

Team 1503 will be staying at the Westin.

[BandChick]

1089 will be staying with 25, in the Westin! Too bad there's no Omni this year =(

[Katie Reynolds]

857 will be at the Hilton ... for those who have been to Atlanta before, is it a reasonable walking distance to the venue? If not, what's good transportation for 20 people?

[Cptn Patches537]

Team 537 will also be staying at the westin...we were staying at some other place....but got transferred into the westin last minute. We were all so happy. So this will be confusing then 537 and 573 in the same hotel...sounds like fun, ik a couple of us are bringing our xbox's down w/ us and planning to game it up...we'd love it if 573 would join us, this way we wont have to hide it cuz we can tell our mentors were bonding with other teams :)

[Nica F.]

Team 4 will be at the Sheraton .
Like a lot of others, I too really liked the Omni.
I think it was really convenient to have all the food places downstairs and the venue not too far away.

too bad not a lot of teams seem to be staying at the same place we are so far ;/

[MasterChief 573]

[Meyerman]

add team 56 to the westin list 3 teams from jersey in one hotel things might get rowdy.

[santosh]

Oh no, not MOE, lol jk. Man, I feel honored to share the same hotel as you guys.

[Nawaid Ladak]

Team 1503 will be staying at the Westin.

im guessing that goes for 1114 and 1680 am i correct?

[bongohead]

Team 75 will be staying at the Hilton, hope to see many familiar and new faces there.

[railerobotics]

Team 935 will be staying at the Hyatt. Anyone have any things to keep in mind?:)

[MasterChief 573]

Team 935 will be staying at the Hyatt. Anyone have any things to keep in mind?:)

All I have to say is that its a really big place and they have Wi-Fi and a pool! It's a very nice hotel and we had a lot of fun there last year.

[Ellery]

All three Xerox Teams (191, 1126, 1450) will be staying at one of the Mariotts downtown - (The so called cheap one with no breakfast provided :( ) Here's a new one I just heard - they are having flight issues getting our teams back so they chartered a private plane to fly all 107 people back. Talk about big bucks - you already know how much regular flights cost I don't even want to ask what's this going to cost us. Unfortunately I won't be there this year or next to see how it's going to go.

[Sean Schuff]

The NEW Apple Corps is trying some new digs this year. For the past three we've stayed at the Wyndham (which changed to a Marriot) and this year we are staying at the Westin. Looks like a pretty plush place! Do they have walls large and light enought for an LCD projector and some X-Box??

I'll never grow up!

Sean

[Raul]

111 => Westin

[Cory]

I don't know why everyone liked the Omni so much... it had small rooms, and there wasn't anything special about it, other than the fact that a lot of teams stayed there.

We're staying at the Embassy Suites, which has rooms at least twice as big, with an excellent free breakfast in the morning. And it's pretty much the same distance from the dome as the Omni.

[whytheheckme]

Embassy Suites Bulkhead on Peachtree St.

1991

Jacob

[DevilChild]

Last year, team 87 went to nationals and stayed at the Westin. I just want all you guys to know that it's the most amazing hotel ever. If you get a chance, go up to the very top and look out the windows, it's breathtaking. And any teams lucky enough to get a room on an upper level (my room was on the 60th floor) should invite everyone else up there to get a look, because it's that crazy. Well, all teams going, say hello to the syringe in the sky for me. (take a look it really does look like one)

The three teams handled their travel arrangements for Atlanta separately - I'm pretty sure 1114 didn't get into the Westin, and I have no clue about 1680.

[WillItBlend]

we only have funds for 12 people to go but we are also having several others pay for their own travel, etc. (that includes me) i dont know where the free members are staying but the ones that are funding ourselves will most likely be staying at Best Western.

[Travis Hoffman]

The three teams handled their travel arrangements for Atlanta separately - I'm pretty sure 1114 didn't get into the Westin, and I have no clue about 1680.

I believe 1114 is at the Marriott Marquis, but don't quote me.

[DanDon]

Tweam 375 will be at the.................................*drumroll*.... ............Embassy Suites :p

[Jeremiah Johnson]

Team 107 will also be staying with 648 in the Embassy Suites Galleria.

[Karthik]

Yup, we're at the Marriott Marquis. Our first choice was the Embassy Suites, but it filled up on us. We considered going back to the Westin, but after two years of dealing with elevators we decided it wasn't worth it.

[dangerousdave]

Team 935 will be staying at the Hyatt. Anyone have any things to keep in mind?:)
The Regency Hyatt Atlanta (http://atlantaregency.hyatt.com/hyatt/hotels/index.jsp) is my all time favorite Atlanta hotel. It was a futuristic design back when I first went there to ride the pod elevators in the early 1970's. It first opened in 1967 and is 22 stories tall, at that time the tallest building in Atlanta. Unfortunately it is now dwarfed by the surrounding buildings including the 70 story Westin Hotel, formerly the tallest hotel in the world.

The CircuitRunners #1002 are staying there and hopefully our friends in Georgia Robotics Alliance (GRA) SOUP #1848 will be there.

The Hyatt is about a 10 minute walk to the First venues. Also, when you are outside of your room don't lean over too far.....open 21 story lobby. ;) At the top is a blue domed revolving restaurant. Hyatt Regency Atlanta, designed by Atlanta architect John Portman, was the first contemporary atrium hotel in the world.

[slickguy2007]

We considered going back to the Westin, but after two years of dealing with elevators we decided it wasn't worth it.

Why, what's wrong with the elevators?

Team 1403 is staying at the Renaissance Hotel and I am pretty sure team 103 is staying there as well (Don't quote me on that though).

[Alan Anderson]

Why, what's wrong with the [Westin] elevators?

The online reviews I've read of the Westin universally agree that the elevators take too long. Either the scheduling/balancing is poorly tuned, or there just aren't enough of them to handle a moderate rush of people all trying to get to or from the lobby in such a tall building.

With the number of teams staying there this year, maybe we can figure out some way to make it work better. Perhaps we could use some discipline and try to group people by floor rather than just packing as many in each elevator as possible.

[rees2001]

340 will be staying at the Hampton Inn Suites Downtown, just blocks from the Dome. If anyone has stayed there I would love some info.

We have stayed at the Marriot Marquis (nice hotel, not so great customer service, we had students on 6 different floors anywhere from the 2nd floor to the 26th).
We have stayed at the Hyatt Regency, twice. Very nice hotel cool elevators very nice customer service. We managed to get all 30 rooms last year on 2 floors & you can see just about every room from the elevators. Excellent for watching students. Jessie Jackson stayed on our floor last year.

[XaulZan11]

1732 will be staying at the Marriott Marquis.

[BandChick]

With the number of teams staying there this year, maybe we can figure out some way to make it work better. Perhaps we could use some discipline and try to group people by floor rather than just packing as many in each elevator as possible.

This sounds like a good thought. Maybe we can ask the Westin if we can put up FIRST signs to assign elevators to specific floors (for FIRST folk only, obviously). For example:

[__1__] [__2__] [__3__]
Elevator 1: Floors 1-5
Elevator 2: Floors 6-10
Elevator 3: 11-15 and so on.

It doesn't matter in the early afternoon, but at the busy times (dinner time, early morning) & it would be a sort of ... honesty policy.

The sign could be something like:

"FIRST LOGO
Attn FIRST Teams:
During peak travel times, please use elevators according to the posted schedule.

SCHEDULE BLAH
Thank you for your consideration in easing elevator use this year!"

I've been instructed to post that if any teams that are registering late need help booking hotels to contact me via PM. My mom has offered to handle a couple of teams' hotels and maybe get some more into ESG (Embassy Suites Galleria). Also, if any teamless people need hotel rooms contact me... we have a few rooms in our block that are at discounted prices ($109/night I believe) as well as transportation with 648 to and from the event.

Thank you,

[JB987]

Team 987 is staying at the Marriott Downtown...which by the way is not a cheap hotel by any means. It is a beautiful hotel but yes, it does not have breakfast included. It is only a 7 minute walk to the Dome and close to the CNN Center too.

[Robyn Needel]

Team 768 is staying at the Days Inn on Spring Street, which is about 3 blocks from the Dome. We hear there's a local bakery nearby that does breakfast - anyone know about it? In the past, we've stayed at the Marriott Fairfield, which became the Wyndham - it was not fancy but good enough, and having breakfast there was a nice plus. We spent one night at the Marquis last year and it was a very nice place.

i stayed there last year .. nice place. Go to the Diner there for breakfast .. much faster than anywhere else

[Chuck Glick]

Okay, I got the official lowdown for team 1712, we will indeed be at the Embassy Suites! Also if anyone wants to do a shirt swap type thing PM me so we can arrange it. (I'm an XL)

I would love to meet everyone down in ATL, so just come find me in our pit, or I'll maybe come see you.

[Vexkingof716]

Team 716 will be staying at the best western at the peachtree. unlike our usual embassy suites, we didn't book soon enough. I'm assuming that its the same hotel as what everyone else is calling the westin. assuming correct we could have one huge party one night, like multiple floor party, :rolleyes: seeing how many teams will be their.

OK, So I spent the last 2 hours putting everyone into Google Earth. Simple double click the attachment and it will add it to google earth. Your best bet is to turn off ALL layers (lodging, roads, etc..) So that only my FIRST.kmz is showing. You can now zoom in an click on any of the hotels to see the teams staying there.

OK, now this is our chance to fix stuff. If you see your team listed at a hotel that you are not geographically staying at, please let me know. There were a bunch of each type of hotel, but I assumed that most were downtown. Please check your team and the hotel. Simply look at the chart below. Find your team and the corresponding letter. Open the Google Earth Document and find that letter. If that is where you are staying, great! If not, please inform me other wise.

The only other glitch I found was the Towne Suites? (Can not be found.. Can I get an address/website for this hotel?) The other thing was the Indio hotel. I assume that this is the Indigo hotel. Please inform me otherwise.

[burkechrs1]

you can take 668 off the embassy suites list. we're not staying there as far as i know..

[Jeremiah Johnson]

Wow! This just in (2 days ago), 648 will be bringing a larger contingency to Atlanta than we did to Chicago. Three more alumni/mentors have signed up. Look for 648 to be loud and energetic. Our 648-107 bi-team party will be fun, too. Assuming 107 students show up this time?

[Mark Pierce]

The Bomb Squad (Team 16) will be staying at the AmeriSuites in downtown Atlanta.

Has anybody ever stayed there? Last year we were at the Holiday Inn right down the street from the dome...Team 85 was there the last two years. OK place, relatively short walk to the train and on a nice day a good walk all the way to the dome. This year we're at the Baymont Inn on Piedmont at I-75.

[Simon Strauss]

1155 and 2265 are booked for the Ramada at the airport at the moment but may be switching to the Country inn a bit closer.

[Dancin103]

we'll be training in to to competition each day!
lol...you have to love the MARTA....lol I know we will be taking the MARTA in to competition each day! lol

[Dancin103]

Team 1403 is staying at the Renaissance Hotel and I am pretty sure team 103 is staying there as well (Don't quote me on that though).

Yes, we are staying at the Renissance with you guys!!! Team 250 is staying there as well!!!!

[Lea103]

Ya, your list has it right. 103 will be staying at the Mariot Renaissance this year.

[nonother]

3053 (Yes...we're an FVC team...I feel so alone posting in this forum), will be staying in the Marriott Marquis.

I've heard amazing things about 1114's FVC & FRC robots and teams, seems we will be in the same hotel. That's good by me.

[shakil07]

team 123 and 247 will be staying at Hyatt

[redbarron]

1270 The Red Dragons will be staying in the Westin this year. We usually stayed in the Marriot Marquis but we wanted something a little closer this year. Good Luck All!!

[Titan]

Team 1087 from Salem, OR will be staying at the Hilton.

[Dan 1038]

The Thunderhawks of team 1038 will be at the Wyndham Garden downtown on Piedmont...

[Jaime65]

The past couple years we have stayed at the Marriot and we havnt had any problems with it. I hope we get it again, but we have to talk to our lead to see where shes going to get. Theres always prom going on there every year so its always fun to see them aswell

Unfortuanly prom will not be going on the time that we are down in Atlanta prom is usually the week of April 28th this year Nationals is during the spring break that is April 7th

[sanddrag]

Not sure where I'll be staying yet, but I will be going for the first time ever! So, look for me there. I'll be in hot pink with 696 (their first time ever too!).

[whytheheckme]

OK. Updated table and Google Earth plugin. Sorry it's taken me so long. I've been busy.

A couple of questions. Are we talking about the same hotel here? I currently have the Renissance hotel at 590 W Peachtree St. NW as per:

Yes, we are staying at the Renissance with you guys!!! Team 250 is staying there as well!!!!

But then this post made me wonder if perhaps there are two hotels I should be looking for:

Ya, your list has it right. 103 will be staying at the Mariot Renaissance this year.

Please check this out. Look at the Google Earth file, and let me know.

Two other things. The first is the location of the Hilton. This seems far out there. Is there a different Hilton downtown that everyone is staying at, and I just have the wrong one selected? Please let me know. The only other thing is still the Towne Suites and the Indi(g?)o. If anyone has any information on these, that would be great.

Team 1516 is staying at the Marriot Marquee in downtown Atlanta. Hope to see you guys there.

[IndySam]

The only other thing is still the Towne Suites

Town Place Suites in Buckhead
820 Sidney Marcus Blvd.
Atlanta, Georgia 30324

[Elgin Clock]

good times at the hilton last year!!! the only problem was the long walk to the georgia dome. hopefully if we make to nationals again this year we stay somewhere closer

Uh oh, looks like weekend Marta passes may be on the list of things to get for Team 237 when down in Atlanta. The Hilton is where we will be staying this year cause the Omni stinks and pwnd any and all FIRST teams who wanted to stay there. ::shakes fist in air at Omni folks::

(Now how am I not supposed to think of Paris Hilton when I am staying in a hotel named after her.. Aye.. FIRST: creating distractions to your daily thought process everytime you turn around.) lol :p

As far as the Hilton being far away, it looks to be only a few more blocks away than the Westin Peachtree/Hard Rock Cafe/Hooters location.
Not toooo bad.. but still kind of a walk. I expect a 15-20 minute outside door of hotel to my pit location walk if I walked.
Taking the Marta may not cut any time off of that 'cause of the 5 points station transfer you would have to take, but it would save your feet from a little walking me thinks.

[Madison]

Two other things. The first is the location of the Hilton. This seems far out there. Is there a different Hilton downtown that everyone is staying at, and I just have the wrong one selected? Please let me know.


There is a Hilton in downtown Atlanta. It's across the street from the Marriott -- letter E. It's a tower with three wings.

We found that it was faster to walk than to worry about MARTA. It's not a far walk -- but we're city folk. :) We'll be staying there again this year, as well.

[AdamHeard]

Team 294 is staying in the wyndham.

[ChuckDickerson]

Add Team 456 to the list staying at the Marriott Marquis.

[Michael Corsetto]

Since the rest of my team voted against against going to Atlanta, even if we qualify at Davis, I will be going teamless for the the second year in a row :(

I'm sharing a room at the embassy suites with out lead (and only) animator Jacob. We hope to get nominated into the top five for the Autodesk Visualization Award, and maybe even win it this year! We took home the SVR AVA, versus some stiff competition, so I think our chances are good at the Championship.

Heh, the only thing is, Jacob is leaving Saturday after the awards ceremony, while I plan on staying for the Team Social afterwards and overnight, so I am trying to squeeze in with 192 on Saturday so I don't have to sleep at the airport :p

By the way, anyone know how I can get a team social ticket if I'm not with a team? Last year I was with team 100 all competition, so it wasn't a problem, but I don't know how, or if it is possible, to get individual tickets.

Thanks, and look forward to seeing everyone there!

[JackN]

The Martians are staying at the Comfort Inn at Buckhead North. We are so far away from everyone.

[DRH2o]

Holiday Inn GWCC

[Chinaman07]

The Westin was really nice. The pool and different views are amazing and the walk to the georgia dome was really short.

[Nawaid Ladak]

don't they have a booth on the first floor of the GWCC that sells the tickets, i remember it was in the layout for the pits last year, it was right next to the FLL world showcase area (no not the feild, the section in the GWCC).

Tickets were like $35 last year as far as what i remember reading, can't remember where it was either the first website or here

[cire]

I hear ya.. We are staying at the Comfort Inn near Turner Field... Not very good reviews, but cheap. Oh well, I wont let it change my first championships expirience :D

177 is staying at the Marriott Downtown. We were originally in the Hilton with our friends from 75 and 237, but unfortunately our mentors deemed it 'unsafe' to stay there.

[MasterChief 573]

Dave, Were staying at the Best Western.;)

Isn't it called the Best Western Inn at the Peachtree, I thought that's what everyone meant when they said Westin at the Peachtree? If thats wrong my bad and take team 573 off that list.

[Founder]

team 1141 is at the Marriott Marquis

[technoL]

Important Question!!! Does anyone know if the Westin has wireless?

From what I've just quickly researched, there is free wireless in the lobby, but not in the rooms. Last year I think one of our members paid for it and it was somewhere around $14-16 daily. It was a wired connection.

-No L

I think these are right. If someone said something like "team xyz123 will be at the Marriott.(for example)" I did not add them to the list because I was not sure which specific hotel of that chain they meant.

[sanddrag]

You can add 696 to the Hilton Atlanta list. Do they have wireless there?

nope we're staying at the Airport North

No we aren't Simon.

The final, end all, absolute hotel location for 1155 and 2265:

Country Inn Airport South

[ChrisR_522]

522 at Embassy Suites at Centennial Olympic Park.

[=Martin=Taylor=]

522 at Embassy Suites at Centennial Olympic Park.

Same...

100 is staying at the Embassy Suites at Centennial.


I am sooooo happy we aren't at the Westin this year:D We stayed there in 2006, let me give you the jist of why it was a disaster:

-Its 40+ stories high
-Our rooms were up around the 30th floor
-There were only TWO working elevators...
-There were at least 20 other teams in the Westin...

Lets just say I learned to take the stairs... A LOT of stairs...:mad:

Healthy for the heart... we stay away from the giant hotels...

[artdutra04]

Both Art's from 228 (my father and myself) will be at the Hilton.

You can add 696 to the Hilton Atlanta list. Do they have wireless there?They do, but it costs $9.95 per day. Although if you download Net Stumbler and feel like walking around the tennis courts or on one of the "sky lobbies" (I really don't know what to call them, but once you're there you'll know what I mean) on the 5th, 12th, 19th, or 26th floors then you might be able to pick up free wifi from other locations in Atlanta.

[Noah Kleinberg]

I believe that team 395 is staying at the Marriott downtown.

[Dkoning]

Team 74 will be staying at the Marriott Marquis.

[Bob]

I think Chuck 84 is staying at the best western.

[Adam Richards]

1341 will be at the Quality Inn. I wish we were at the Westin or the Hilton...

[vic burg]

Very nice, good rooms and public spaces. The only real problem we had was with the elevators. If you're near the midpoint, you might consider using the elevator to the upper floors and then walk down a couple flights of stairs.

Oh, and the path to the pool is confusing.

We're staying there again this year and we realized that if you take the elevator up and past your floor, you will get there faster, or if you take the one past your floor, and go to the next elevator. Especially in the morning or afternoon. Hopefully we will be able to use the pool this year. That would be nice.

[fluffy]

141 and 2054 are staying at the Hampton inn (perimeter mall)

no prob jacob... you don't need to say sorry ^^ you have been busy... and we have to say i'm sorry cause... we won't stay more at the college park... we'll stay at best western suites in holcomb bridge road... last minute changes... =/

[Zach Wydick]

Team 1983 will be staying at the Hyatt as well. If anyone wants to chill one night let us know and we'll find something to do with you guys. We're in Atlanta until Monday night so we have plenty of time. We're bringing PS2s and an Xbox or Xbox 360 depending on if others are bring it so we can system link or something. Let me know if anyone wants to come by and party lol.
-Zach Wydick

[Wayne Doenges]

Team 1501 will be staying at the Holiday Inn Express near the airport.
Maybe I should bring some ear plugs as the Atlanta airport is one of the busiest :ahh:

[Jay Trzaskos]

Division by Zero just arrived at the Quality Inn downtown about 20 minutes ago after a 22 hour train ride. We are excited to be back in Atlanta and having another go at it.

Looks like we're in the same place... and the team feared we were the only ones gonna be there haha. Glad ya made it down!! See you guys tomorrow!!!

[Zyik]

-There were only TWO working elevators...
-There were at least 20 other teams in the Westin...


Erm, I'd like to apologize for that one, well, at least some of your stair experience. One of my team members decided to push all the buttons on one of the elevators, quiet a few times. We learned to keep him away from the button side.

So, to all of you who couldn't use one of the elevators last year, apologies.

[Armando Gonzalez]

Holiday Inn for team 1872

[Michelle Celio]

We got into baymont at about 12:30...and we saw the Delphi Elite trailer!
