Marriott (Atlanta Airport)


During my recent trip to Las Vegas I decided to fly out of Atlanta, taking advantage of the Park and Fly program. I had the Atlanta Airport Marriott confused with the Renaissance where I stayed last August. When I arrived at a different location than I was expecting I was confused but pleasantly surprised. I enjoyed my stay at both of these hotels, taking advantage of the great savings on parking. My room was 115 dollars for one night and seven days parking. Additional days run eight dollars per day.

The Valet prepared a parking pass for me before I entered the hotel. The pass covered my full week and was to be displayed in the front windshield. After entering the front lobby I was directed to check in using one of the kiosks located in the lobby. The kiosk allows you to select the type of room you require from the options available. Check in took about two minutes. After completing the electronic check in, the key cards for my room were created.

I grabbed my luggage and proceeded to my room up the bank of elevators adjacent to the lobby. The first thing I noticed on entering my room was that the room seemed smaller than I expected. There was a nice work area for business travelers along with internet access that requires payment of a fee. Marriott has a plan called Wired For Business which includes internet access as well as unlimited local and long distance calling for a charge of $12.95. That rate is fairly competitive with the going rate for internet access and includes the phone service. I think most people have cell phones these days, but if you don't or if you are on a minutes plan, this is one way you might save some money during your trip.
