Name of your hotel and Location (Atlanta, Suburb??)
Homewood Suites, Suburbs, Northwest,

Price per room: If known. $110

Ammenities: Details - Internet Access (charged for or free?), Breakfast?
Free High Speed Internet, Free hot breakfast, evening reception that we were never back in time for.

Suprise Charges: If any. No bad surprises.
Good Surprises: How well we were treated. Desk people asked how we were doing at the competition. They were nice even when we checked in at 2 AM. Only negative - the hotel was overbooked, so some parents who had separate reservations from the team had to go to a different hotel - but then they got their rooms for free!

Transportation to and from the Georgia Dome - Bus route, MARTA system, walk? We took our bus or a van. About a 25 minute drive, straight shot down Northeast (or was it Northwest) Drive.

Relative closeness to food, and restaurants?
Walk to two malls (Galleria / Cumberland), lots of food choices (fast and nice sit down). Team walked to eat.

Any additional Comments?
Very nice hotel. Rooms were huge (separate bedroom, living area, fireplace, full kitchen) room for 5 or 6 easily. Pool and hot tub. Large breakfast room in the lobby with tables and chairs, TV, etc. - great for gathering.

This was a great place. Only negative is no other FIRST teams were there.
Maybe FIRST could create some packages at places like this one so that teams could be together, even if not right downtown.

Would you reccomend this hotel for FIRST teams next year?
Yes, unless you can stay downtown.

Would you stay at the same hotel Next year?Yes, unless we stay downtown inthe middle of everything.

And just for fun, What floor did you stay on?
2 (the top floor!)
