UScon Dragon Con Hotel Flash!!!
Yes they are per night. I have a list of last years over flow hotels and the prices that they were for last year on the UScon site.
Now there are lots of other hotels in Atlanta, and depending on how you get there your choice can differ wildly. If you have a car, you can go further out and get better prices. BUT…. when you get the better price, do not forget to factor in the parking or inconvenience fare.
Parking at the hotel was 14.00 a day I think, with no in and out privileges. But still, convenient if you want to have a trunk near by to stash stuff in. Flame can tell you about the out lying parking, most of which was about two blocks away I think. Not quite so convenient for stashing your stuff or purchases, but still workable.
We flew, and the added expense of staying at the main motel was offset by our not having to rent a car or pay parking. Believe me…. you do not need a car if you are at the main hotel. There is so much going on that you won’t have time to go anywhere else. [img]images/smiles/icon_smile.gif[/img]
Also the mall which abuts both main hotels has a train station in it. Now if I could just figure out what line and stop it is… I would save my self the 12.00 per person air taxi fee to the hotel. I am round and don’t walk much… but even so, the train stop is close enough (and all my luggage has wheels) that I will be taking it next year for $2.00… baggage and all.
Now this is weird….the train station stop in Atlanta is closer to the Hyatt than the self parking was to the main desk at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas. How is that for convenient?
Oh yeah… There was a con shuttle going to the overflow hotels last year…. but right at this minute there is no guarentee that they will be the same as last year. Most likely they will…. but not carved in stone yet.
