Re: Championship Who's staying where?

My coach says that in Atlanta all the hotels are booked. So luckily we got a hotel for our team. Not sure where but probably Holiday Inn. :)

We had saved the money for nationals, but until that moment (last weekend) we didn't have a way to quality.

Well, we are scrambling our brains out trying to make arrangements, and nothng is set just yet. We were looking at coming down by plane to a First organized hotel/motel, and if we do this, we are looking at the Super-8. (the only place with 17 quad rooms availible right now)

The big problem is that we need to PAY for it by Monday.....which is REAL TIGHT since we have not gotten deposits or parental signatures yet. (to know EXACTLY who can and is going)

Our second plan is to go down by bus, and to stay in a non-First hotel....but it turns out the Bus isn't as inexpensive as it first seemed.....so I think we might be leaning back to the first option listed above.

It is al very fast paced and exciting.....but I'm sure we will be able to see everyone there!

Anyone else staying at the Super-8? (is that the place that leaves the light on for you, or is that two numbers lower?)

<b>Well, for Chief Delphi, since we are going to San Jose, Ca for regionals... we are traveling by bus to Atlanta, GA. It's fine with us because it's about an 18 hour drive. Plus the team members get to sleep on the way and arrive there a day early. But overall, the team will bond on the way there...
Well, really about your situation, you guys should get things done quickly because most likely all the hotels are going to be booked up. Like I said, everything is almost booked all up. But since you guys are coming all the way from NH..I suggest going by plane if expenses are't that high. Anyway, I hope I see you guys there at Nationals! Good luck...</b>

Elgin, my good man, you may be able to tell time, but you are woefully out of date with regard to the available facilities at the Omni Hotel at CNN Center! The lap pool you refer to is inside the Turner Athletic Center near the hotel, it can only be used by people 21 years of age or older, and it costs $10 per person per day to use.

HOWEVER, the new tower at the Omni includes a HEATED OUTDOOR POOL available to all registered guests of the Omni Free of Charge. The pool is now open, and will continue to be open every day through our stay in Atlanta.

BTW, The Miracle Workerz (Team 365) will have 63 people at the Omni -- 30 studentz, 15 mentorz, and 18 other adultz. Also, the LuNaTeChS, Team 316, also are staying at the Omni, and will have between 15 and 20 people total.

Michelle,

I don't know where your coach got his information, but the official booking agent for the FIRST Championship Event is THS, and they have TONS of Quad rooms (Double/Double) still available -- 216 at the Hyatt Regency, 84 at the Marriott Marquis, 358 at the Sheraton, 527 at the Hilton, 7 at the Super 8, 15 at the Courtyard, and 110 at the Fairfield.

And I hope you don't expect to get to your rooms within the first few HOURS of you getting to the hotel. And I hope you don't run into the situation where the hotel leaves the alcohol in the room with the students, and you are forced to remind the hotel staff to do their jobs and remove it!!!
And lastly, I hope you are right about the pool situation.... Have fun!! :rolleyes:

Elgin, from Team 237, who are never staying at an Omni Hotel again!!

Re: Championship Who's staying where?

Hmm...I'm thinking big party. 15 Teams+One Hotel=Tons o' Fun. If we approximated 15 students per team well, thats a lot of kids to start some football, ultimate frisby, and other entertaining activities with. This should be some fun times guys.

Re: Championship Who's staying where?

I was in Atlanta for a youth gathering this past summer. The gathering hosted 45,000 people (mostly high school age youth) over two weeks (22-23,000 oer week). I learned that their MARTA system (metro, subway, underground train, whatever you want to call it) is pretty good and has two stops at the dome and you can get pretty close to anywhere in the city via this system.

Marriott Marquis

I spent most of my time at that hotel because we made some new friends who were staying there (it is a very sweet hotel...it has the largest atrium in the world). However, we weren't staying there. My youth group stayed about 5 MARTA stops north of the Marriott Marquis (I have no clue how far it was without relating it to the marta, cause that is how we got there) at the Hampton Inn. I believe my room had one of the most beautiful views of the city, only bested by another room our group had. I will try to upload th pics of the views when I get a chance.

I went this summer too!! My hotel was 5 stops above the big station, the Marriot Suites ( i think that's what they're called) but they're kind of far away. The Marquis is NICE, like big fountain in the front-nice! But its a bit of a walk, since FIRST isn't providing tranportation (the gathering gave us MARTA tickets for the week) It will be maybe a 10 minute walk, max, unless you walk really slow. Atlanta is gonna be AWESOME!
