The past couple years we have stayed at the Marriot and we havnt had any problems with it. I hope we get it again, but we have to talk to our lead to see where shes going to get. Theres always prom going on there every year so its always fun to see them aswell

we always stay at super 8 but hey, its close... last year i spent like half my time at the hilton anyway. This year, i say everyone should stay at the ritz, very high class and all that.

good times at the hilton last year!!! the only problem was the long walk to the georgia dome. hopefully if we make to nationals again this year we stay somewhere closer

[nparikh]

Oh how I wish we were staying at the Omni again

But apparently it's booked up already--some huge convention is there that weekend. I believe the Westin (or whatever the huge cylindrical hotel is) is where 25 will be at.

We'll be at the Mariott Marquee; one of our mentors is an employee of Mariott and tells us it's one of the better ones, so I think it will be good.

travelodge suckas

[Tom Bottiglieri]

I will be in the Westin Peachtree.. woo!

[Lil' Lavery]

116 will be at the Westin as well this year (oh god, 25 and Tom in our hotel...this will be...umm.... interesting). We wanted to stay at the Embassy Suites like we did in 2005, but it got booked too fast

[anna~marie]

I believe that HOT is again planning to stay in the Mariott Marquee

[Alan Anderson]

Expect the TechnoKats (FRC #45) at the Westin this year as well.

Uh oh, looks like weekend Marta passes may be on the list of things to get for Team 237 when down in Atlanta. The Hilton is where we will be staying this year cause the Omni stinks and pwnd any and all FIRST teams who wanted to stay there. ::shakes fist in air at Omni folks::

(Now how am I not supposed to think of Paris Hilton when I am staying in a hotel named after her.. Aye.. FIRST: creating distractions to your daily thought process everytime you turn around.) lol

As far as the Hilton being far away, it looks to be only a few more blocks away than the Westin Peachtree/Hard Rock Cafe/Hooters location.
Not toooo bad.. but still kind of a walk. I expect a 15-20 minute outside door of hotel to my pit location walk if I walked.
Taking the Marta may not cut any time off of that 'cause of the 5 points station transfer you would have to take, but it would save your feet from a little walking me thinks.

There is a Hilton in downtown Atlanta. It's across the street from the Marriott -- letter E. It's a tower with three wings.

We found that it was faster to walk than to worry about MARTA. It's not a far walk -- but we're city folk. We'll be staying there again this year, as well.
