Good luck, and let me know if the price has changed, I booked it through that "Aircrew" site about a month in advance of recurrent (last Dec).

I don't know what they'll charge for a 'same day' type booking, hope they don't try to rape you! But if they do, try the two others most commuters use, the Red Roof and the Drury (404) 761-4900), both quite near the Motel 6 on Va. Ave.

Also, there's a "Country Inn and Suites" just a block back off VA. Ave, behind the Wellesly: (404) 767-9787

Something that I have done when stuck in the ATL, last minute, is call Crew Accomodations, use the same ph. number as crew scheds, but listen to the prompts, right after crew tracking I think. I've asked them if they have any -unused- hotel rooms, on Va. Ave, like when someone got re-routed, etc. and the room is booked but unused.

Once in a while they can put you into a pre-paid room, for free! Or at least at the DL Crew rate.
