Re: Championship Event 2004 - Rate your hotels!!

Name of your hotel and Location (Atlanta, Suburb??)
Super8 -- Downtown Atlanta

Price per room: If known.

I paid $65 for three nights... (3 people in a double room)

Ammenities: Details - Internet Access (charged for or free?), Breakfast?

We had a two level hotel room, which consisted of a 10'x10' room with a small bathroom that had a 12" step up. The epitomy of "ghetto"

Suprise Charges: If any.

Beyond the fact that the front desk attendant jokingly told us the credit card declined, no... Oh, and, segways were apparently dis-allowed at a few hotels, as i was requested to walk mine by the management while in the omni, the management at the super8 simply said, "yo that sh#@&t is hot!"

Transportation to and from the Georgia Dome - Bus route, MARTA system, walk?
about a half mile walk-- no biggy

Relative closeness to food, and restaurants?
Close to the downtown "food" district, again about a half mile walk.

Any additional Comments?

I was bitten by a spider while in the hotel room-- must have happened while sleeping. The hotel refused to re-make our bed as a backpack was left on it.

Having a 12" step into the bathroom isn't a good idea for those early morning stumbles into the bathroom... i forgot to "step down" one time, even though there was a cheesy little sign.

The elevators were slow, and incredibly small. You'd be lucky to fit thee people in the elevator.

Ask anyone in this picture for comments about our hotel.

Would you reccomend this hotel for FIRST teams next year?

No Way!


Would you stay at the same hotel Next year?
No Way!

And just for fun, What floor did you stay on?
