johndoe#2 Posted January 18, 2006 Report Share Posted January 18, 2006 Wanted 4* hotel in Buckhead area only. All added on areas below are 3* or below.Bidding strategy:Declined at $45 for Buckhead (gotta start with a lowball, right?)Added Atlanta West - Six Flags, declined at $48Added Decatur - Northlake, declined at $50Added Forest Park - Riverdale, declined at $52Added Jonesboro, declined at $54Added Kennesaw , declined at $56Added Lithonia, declined at $58Added Morrow, declined at $60Added Norcross, declined at $61Added North Central, declined at $62Added Smyrna, declined at $63Added Stockbridge, declined at $64Added Stone Mountain, declined at $65Added Union City, ACCEPTED at $66With 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.

vatraveler Posted January 31, 2006 Report Share Posted January 31, 2006 To OP:Do you know if the Atlanta Financial Center garage is open 24 hours? We were thinking about doing this, too. Thx. Link to comment
johndoe#2 Posted April 19, 2006 Author Report Share Posted April 19, 2006 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. Link to comment
