Hotel Comments: Nice place. It's downtown, of course. If you want a really nice view of the city, go to the "Sundial" bar at the top of the hotel (you need to go down to the lobby to catch the exclusive elevator to the dial). Internet has been wired, but they're converting to wireless. Just purchase it and they'll comp it off your bill. If your room is wired and you're getting spotty service, try the wireless.

Dining Comments: Tons! There's an Indian place about a block from where the van drops you off. There's a Hooters & Hard Rock Cafe across the street. There's some Mexican sort of place across from the Hard Rock (called fire something or other...can't remember the name of it) Another block down (walking past the Hooters), there's a 24 hour place called "The Metro Cafe". Diverse menu and unbelievable desserts (about 20 different 7-layer cakes to choose from and cheesecakes). There's a McDonalds next to the Hooters...DON'T GO TO IT. I waited 45 minutes in line...and the line wasn't that big. You think the Cleveland Airport Burger King is bad? I thought it might be a fluke, so on a subsequent ATL overnight, I tried it again (went in at 1:30PM)...I wated 55 minutes. So, unless you're just craving McDonalds and you have an hour to give up of your over-night, I'd stay away from it. By the way, that hour did not include actually eating. That was just to get the food.

Entertainment Comments: The Georgia Aquarium is just down the street. World's largest all indoor aquarium. Pretty cool (went there with my family). The CNN Center is near the aquarium. Kind of a mall & food court atmosphere. The Underground. Have not been there yet, but heard people raving about it.

Hotel Comments: Follow signs to the ground transportation pickup, don't think either direction matters (blue or red, when coming up the escalator, north or south). The Marriott has multiple buses, make sure you end up in the one going to the Courtyard South. Obviously there's a north, not ours. Stops at the Marriott first, then the Courtyard.

Dining Comments: Breakfast is with 20% discount, turns out $8 or so. Short overnight.

Hotel Comments: Previous post was clearly referring to the Westin which this is not. This hotel is newer and clean. Lucky this is for the short overnight as there is nothing around. It is located just off the airport tucked on some side road with several other hotels. Internet access here is free but don't recall if it was wired or wireless.

Dining Comments: There is only a Ruby Tuesday down the road a few hundred feet and the hotel restaurant which none of us tried. Better pack or eat in the airport before you get there.

Entertainment Comments: Sleep.
