The more I think about it, Atlanta is really an ideal place for the championships. The only thing I did not like was the vagrancy, and there persistence in asking for money. That was the only thing I did not like. The hotels are great, Atlanta is generally warm (this was a weird year for weather - last year was beautiful) There is a lot of room like Erin said for all of the events. One of my personally favorites though, is the large number of starbucks. One in the hotel lobby, one on the way to the CNN center, one inside the CNN center, and one in the GWCC. Those where just the ones along the route I took. I know there was another one by the Westin, but I stayed at the Marriott marquis. Only thing I would change for next year, is to stay at the Omni. I liked the Westin last year, and the Marriott was great, but the omni is located SO close to both the competition, and the wrap party that it makes it ideal, plus you don't have to walk outside to get food. Did I mention the large number of starbucks..
