When I was preparing to travel to Toronto, I decided to fly out of the Atlanta airport, and spend a day in Atlanta in conjunction with my trip. I prefer to stay at Marriott and was looking for the best deal that I could find. While browsing through the information on the Marriott website, I discovered a deal I couldn't pass by.
The Renaissance Atlanta Concourse (a Marriott property) at the Atlanta Airport has several deals to choose from. The one that caught my eye was free parking. Yes, free parking. Up to seven days following your stay. So, I paid for one night at the hotel (my stay was under a hundred dollars, but they go upwards of two hundred dollars a night depending on when you travel). With airport long-term parking running 9 or 10 dollars a day for surface parking (24 dollars a day for covered) you can see the substantial savings of having free parking. The parking lot at the hotel is also un-covered surface parking, but it is very close to the hotel, providing a greater sense of security. The hotel provides a shuttle to the airport, which took approximately fifteen minutes. The shuttle runs twice an hour and is a comfortable ride.
The lobby of this hotel appears to have undergone recent renovation. It is an expansive, open hotel interior with a true Marriott feel. The valet, doormen and check-in clerks were all exceptionally friendly (which is one reason I prefer to stay at Marriott). The glass elevators provide a broad view of the hotel, overlooking the large restaurant/bar on one side and the lower level conference rooms on the other side. I visited at the end of August. It appeared that they were renovating the conference area on the lower level while I was there. Reviewing their website indicates that they recently underwent an 18 million dollar renovation, which is probably what I witnessed during my stay there.
