Championship Hotels

[Freddy Schurr]

where are all the teams heading for atlanta. we are looking for prices and how far from the venue.

[Eugenia Gabrielov]

It may be a bit early for many teams to know their locations...

let me reference you to a thread from last year.

[John Gutmann]

My team has had our hotels since like the begginning of december I think.

I believe the hotel is the Hyatt Regency.

Wait until THS releases the hotel packages, and you'll get a good idea of what hotels to look at.

I believe in past years the information was up by mid-late January.

I'm keeping an eye out at www.thsweb.com -- we need to have this info ASAP or our trip cannot be approved by our BOE

I think we already got our reservations at the Omni once again. I think he made them as early as possible like in october or november im assuming. the earlier the better.

FIRST released the e-mail blast today.

the pink team (233) will be staying at the omni again. we've stayed there the past 2 years. it's GREAT - especially with so many teams that return to the same hotel

[Ellery]

All the Xerox Teams will be staying at the Embassy Suites again as last year.
Like the Omni it's a quick walk away. The only change this year is that we are now bussing from Rochester for about ~20 hours. Do I hear Dramamine?

Team 195 will be staying at the Omni! Woo for walking to the event!

Can I expect Genia will set up that lovely list of what team belongs to what hotel?

[GaryVoshol]

Two questions:

How did teams get reservations before yesterday? I can't fathom that Embassy Suites had only 5 rooms available when THS opened the site.

We're looking at Westin and Marriott Marquis - any recommendations?

I stayed in the Marriott in 2004. It was very nice.

You really can't go wrong with either. IIRC, the Westin is a block or two farther away from the venue than the Marriott, which may or may not make a difference to you.

That cool aquarium is all done too that they were building behind the hotel. I definately want to check that out!
