Asked for comments re my stay by Hotwire, and I am repeating them here for Better Bidding users:

When I first found where this hotel was located, I was a little concerned about how safe it would be to walk from the nearest MARTA train station, E1. However as a male, I felt perfectly safe, but I don't think I would recommend it for a woman walking alone. It requires crossing 2 freeways on an overpass, so there are not a lot of pedestrians around.

For those attending a convention at the Georgia World Conference Center, there is a municipal bus, #97, that leaves (and returns) to just across the street from the hotel, with a stop a half block from the Convention Center. The schedule and route map are downloadable from the MARTA site, http://www.itsmarta.com/ which also is good for planning other trips in Atlanta. Service seemed pretty reliable and passes are available at the MARTA store in the airport. I never used the hotel's shuttle, nor the restaurant, so I can't comment on those. Two computers available for guests. In spite of the size of the hotel, I never had to wait. Checking in and out were very smooth.

All in all, a good 3 night stay.
