The Hyatt is right near the Peachtree MARTA station, so it may be worth it. Last year, as well as this year, 228 is staying at the Hilton Hotel, and we are planning to purchase the MARTA passes again this year.
As for commute times, it depends on the time of the day. If you leave at rush hour, they run trains about every three or four minutes. In the off peak hours, they run trains every six to eight minutes, and depending on how long you have to wait, it may/may not be faster to walk.
At rush hour, it is faster to take MARTA from the Peachtree station than to walk. Last year, one of the morning commutes from the hotel to the GA Dome, our drive team and the rest of our team both left our hotel (the Hilton) at the same time. The drive team took MARTA (from Peachtree station), while the rest of the team walked the whole way. The drive team got to the pits about 10 minutes before the rest of the team. After this, most of the team took MARTA.
