Added Smyrna, declined at $63

Added Stockbridge, declined at $64

Added Stone Mountain, declined at $65

With taxes and fees, it was about $78 TOTAL per night. Hotel website starting around $200/night this weekend. Hotel was amazing. Had corner room with wraparound floor-to-ceiling windows, marble baths with full soaker tub and stand-up shower. Lots of toiletries and other freebies, turn-down service where the maids turn TV on relaxing music station, fill bucket with ice, provide card with tomorrow's weather, chocolates, and FRESH orchids in room. No pretension from staff here, just great service, no problems with PL reservation. MARTA station is two blocks away, as are about a dozen (upscale) restaurants. Bistro in Lobby is wonderful, but not inexpensive. Hotel parking is about $15/night, but you can park behind the hotel at the Atlanta Financial Center on the weekends for very little money--just $2 to get out, so only $2 all weekend if you leave your car there.

Thanks!

To OP:

Do you know if the Atlanta Financial Center garage is open 24 hours? We were thinking about doing this, too. Thx.

Sorry for the extreme delay in response to the parking question. I had no problems accessing the garage at midnight or 6:00am. I can't say with complete certainty that it is 24 hours, though. There were a couple of times that I didn't have to even pay the $2 when there wasn't an attendant. Sometimes the gate was already up, and sometimes it would automatically rise when we pulled up to it, so we drove on.
