Teamless people going to Atlanta

[Erin Rapacki]

FYI: I'm going as a FIRST volunteer again, but this year I may be in need of a room to share with at least three other college students. Personally, I'd be willing to spend some money to get a nice hotel room really close to the Georgia Dome (up to $200/night). If we get four people in a room; each person only has to pay for one night!

since i live a couple hours away from atlanta i will probably go with a few people


BUT WERE GO NATIONALS HOPLY WE WILL WIN

Currently, I'm looking at the Days Inn Atlanta Southlake in Morrow, GA. (my sole link so far is through Travelocity, which apparently does dynamic links. grrr). $50.66 per night, although I'm sure that doesn't include taxes.

Just a quick note: Traffic is going to pretty bad on Thurs and Friday morning/afternoon if you stay that far outside the perimeter (if you leave really early in the morning and come back late it shouldn't be an issue though). I live north outside the perimeter and work downtown. Without traffic it takes me 25-30min, with traffic it can take an hour or more.

Then again the hotel prices are a bit cheaper. The package deals downtown are really good in my opinion though.

Of course we can't forget MARTA. If the hotel is near a stop then you're all good.

There's a Super 8 or Motel 6 or something fairly close to the Georgia Dome (i.e within walking distance). It was about $50 a night last year. I personally didn't really have much of a problem with it but there were a number of other teams complaining about it so you may want to take that into consideration. It definitely wasn't great by any means but it was a place to sleep.

Do not, i reapeat, do NOT stay at the super8. Avoid it at all costs.

It is dirty, small and downright disgusting. I was bitten by a spider of some sort while sleeping, and it turned into just a miserable experience.

I personally would never even think of staying there again!

I'm considering heading down to Nats this year. I haven't been since the last time it was in Florida. I'll have to see if I can pool some money together and whether or not I can find people to share a room with and such.

Well looks like im gonna buss it down, i can get round trip from PA for 60 bucks, but like so many others, A room is a problem, i went to hotels.com and there was a "Castleberry Inn Georgia Dome", but im not entirely certain how close the dome it is. the average room price for 4 people is 80 a night. The description says it is a brand new hotel.

Im me if at all interested, or have suggestions.

[Wetzel]

So, any more news? I've gotten my trip down taken careof, but am still lacking in room accomidations! My gf found a hostel on MARTA somewhere for $20 a night, but still looking to see if I can 1) get cheaper through volune 2) increase the fun by being with everyone else.

I am teamless. Looking for a place to stay, or split a room cost with couple of people. Pm me.

[Cory]

Due to one person dropping out of our room, myself, Jake Gallagher, and Greg Perkins are looking for one more roommate. We are staying at the Hyatt, Wednesday through Sunday, and the price would be $170.

PM/email/IM me if you're interested.

[Don Vito]

Team 1279 is going to Nationals, and as we are from Somerville, New Jersey, if someone needs a team from the area to fly down with, they're welcome to come with us and stay.

If anyone needs a cheap way to get to Atlanta..you might want to try finding a train or bus ticket. They are typically cheaper then plane tickets and fuel to drive (assuming you live by Detroit like me and it's an 11 hour drive). I'm going down with 1023 on Delta from Detroit, its worth the $225 or so i think...
