360Flex Onsite


Tom and I are in Atlanta right now, checking out the OMNI. It's nice!

The Marta is probably the easiest and I'm sure the cheapest route. You take it from the Airport to "five points" get off, take the Westbound line, 1 stop. You're there. It did take us a bit of walking around to find the hotel once we got into the CNN center, but that could be the effects of a Red eye flight.

We had lunch at Stats, which we're scoping out for one of our parties. It's a really dope spot, I think it'll be fun to party there.

We also made a list of nearby hotels, should you be staying on past Wednesday. Make sure to map them to make sure they're close enough for you, but they all should be walkable or at least cheaply cab-able.

Westin Peachtree Plaza

Judith Dinowitz of Fusion Authority fame, did some legwork and shared her findings,
Westin Peachtree (three blocks away)- 404-659-1400 quoted me $259 a night.
Embassy Suites (one block away) - over $200 a night. Didn't give me a definite price because he sold me on the Hampton Inn. These are suites, so they're more expensive.
Marriott - 2 blocks away - 404-688-8600 Didn't get a price.
Atlanta Hilton - 8 blocks away - 404-659-2000 Didn't get a price.
Atlanta Gateway Sheraton - 11 miles away, right by the airport - $189 a night.

The caveat, of course, is that these room rates are subject to change - and probably will go up as we get closer to the conference.

Stats is definitely a great place. Gotta love the at-the -table beer taps. Also look at No Mas Cantina in the same area. I've been posting a few restaurant reviews for 360 Flex on my site.
