Re: 2007 Championship .. who's staying where?

All three Xerox Teams (191, 1126, 1450) will be staying at one of the Mariotts downtown - (The so called cheap one with no breakfast provided ) Here's a new one I just heard - they are having flight issues getting our teams back so they chartered a private plane to fly all 107 people back. Talk about big bucks - you already know how much regular flights cost I don't even want to ask what's this going to cost us. Unfortunately I won't be there this year or next to see how it's going to go.

Re: 2007 Championship .. who's staying where?

The NEW Apple Corps is trying some new digs this year. For the past three we've stayed at the Wyndham (which changed to a Marriot) and this year we are staying at the Westin. Looks like a pretty plush place! Do they have walls large and light enought for an LCD projector and some X-Box??

I'll never grow up!

Re: 2007 Championship .. who's staying where?

I don't know why everyone liked the Omni so much... it had small rooms, and there wasn't anything special about it, other than the fact that a lot of teams stayed there.

We're staying at the Embassy Suites, which has rooms at least twice as big, with an excellent free breakfast in the morning. And it's pretty much the same distance from the dome as the Omni.

Re: 2007 Championship .. who's staying where?

Last year, team 87 went to nationals and stayed at the Westin. I just want all you guys to know that it's the most amazing hotel ever. If you get a chance, go up to the very top and look out the windows, it's breathtaking. And any teams lucky enough to get a room on an upper level (my room was on the 60th floor) should invite everyone else up there to get a look, because it's that crazy. Well, all teams going, say hello to the syringe in the sky for me. (take a look it really does look like one)

The three teams handled their travel arrangements for Atlanta separately - I'm pretty sure 1114 didn't get into the Westin, and I have no clue about 1680.

Re: 2007 Championship .. who's staying where?

we only have funds for 12 people to go but we are also having several others pay for their own travel, etc. (that includes me) i dont know where the free members are staying but the ones that are funding ourselves will most likely be staying at Best Western.

I believe 1114 is at the Marriott Marquis, but don't quote me.

Yup, we're at the Marriott Marquis. Our first choice was the Embassy Suites, but it filled up on us. We considered going back to the Westin, but after two years of dealing with elevators we decided it wasn't worth it.

The Regency Hyatt Atlanta is my all time favorite Atlanta hotel. It was a futuristic design back when I first went there to ride the pod elevators in the early 1970's. It first opened in 1967 and is 22 stories tall, at that time the tallest building in Atlanta. Unfortunately it is now dwarfed by the surrounding buildings including the 70 story Westin Hotel, formerly the tallest hotel in the world.

The CircuitRunners #1002 are staying there and hopefully our friends in Georgia Robotics Alliance (GRA) SOUP #1848 will be there.

The Hyatt is about a 10 minute walk to the First venues. Also, when you are outside of your room don't lean over too far.....open 21 story lobby. At the top is a blue domed revolving restaurant. Hyatt Regency Atlanta, designed by Atlanta architect John Portman, was the first contemporary atrium hotel in the world.

Why, what's wrong with the elevators?

Team 1403 is staying at the Renaissance Hotel and I am pretty sure team 103 is staying there as well (Don't quote me on that though).
