Medical Forum / Diseases and Disorders / Arthritis / January 2005OTP: Atlanta in June
Wendy and I, and several of our business associates, are trying to find accommodations in Atlanta during the Primerica convention June 15 to 18. The hotels are all full already (even the ones we can't afford). Is there anyone in the ASA family in the Atlanta area that might know of a furnished house or condo we could rent for the 4 nights? We are a mature group and I can assure that there will be no damage done. The convention is at the Georgia Dome. Thanks!

If you can't find something, come to the NW gimpfest in Portland that week. <g> Walt, For hotel rooms head north of the city into the perimeter/northwest/northeast area or into Gwinnet County or south to the airport. . You may have to drive (these areas are 8-15 miles away from the dome) but you should be able to find rooms. Don't forget that Atlanta has a subway system that goes out to the suburbs as well. I did a search of our Marriott products and there are dozens of area hotels with availablity, many on or near a Marta stop. You'll have to pay a bit more for Wed nite because its a weekday but they all drop their rates on Thursday to the weekend rates and most of these are less than $100.00. Getting away from Downtown will ALWAYS save you money in Atlanta as long as you avoid Buckhead. The other suggestion is to wait it out. Primerica is one of the conventions that fall apart. I know from selling hotel rooms in Atlanta for 4 years that downtown sellsout early and pushes people to the 'burbs. Then in the last week of arrival everyone who can't make it will start cancelling and all of a sudden people are selling rooms again. Atlanta is a city that does not normally get into renting short term condo's or houses..the Olympics were a bad experience for many people Karen > Wendy and I, and several of our business associates, are trying to find > accommodations in Atlanta during the Primerica convention June 15 to 18.

I wish I could remember the name -- I know, not much help -- but it was on the far north side. On the way to the hotel, you pass all these plantation-style homes....it was awesome. I drive in Houston, so I found driving in Atlanta to be a breeze.

Or a B&B listing service? The latter is fairly common to help get the word out. you might find something affordable that way. When packing for the trip, keep in mind that it will be hot, humid and fairly calm, except some possible thunderstorms. I doubt they'll have it too chilly in the Dome as that a/c must cost a fortune. And Atlanta is getting fairly high on the pollution scale. And, if you'll be driving, every other road is Peachtree something so have a good map!

They are expecting 70,000 for the convention, so every Hotel and B&B anywhere near the Dome is already in the convention package. But I think we'll find something. And, with all of you that are in the area, we're going to have to set aside a lunch or dinner to get together!

Walt, I can't help with the hotels, but I'm only about a hour and a half from Atlanta. Let me know if you set up a time for ASA'ers. debbie m. http://www.angelfire.com/ga2/angels1/ > Wendy and I, and several of our business associates, are trying to find > accommodations in Atlanta during the Primerica convention June 15 to 18.
