Quick question,

Does anyone have a suggestion for a hotel in ATL besides the Quality Inn. I will be stuck in ATL for one night later this week.

Thanks,
BFS

Have used Country Inn&Suites South. OK hotel, free breakfast. Some problems with overfill of vans in am but that might have been resolved.

Holiday Inn North (VA Ave) MIGHT give discount.

Sleep Inn South--just a room. And not much else to say about it. Free bfast which was poor quality IMO.

Priceline was a good way to go to get a pretty good room at reasonable rate. Lots of tricks to how to get best rate and others are better at this than I was.

Was based in the ATL until last year so above info may have changed.

Not that way any more. Detroit will issue you a same day passport without any proof of travel. I was going to get an passport for my daughter there, but at the last minute she wasn't going internationally, so I didn't go there.

Detroit Passport Agency

Explains it all. Expedite fee is $60 on top of the other fees. Don't know if Delta would pay for it, CPSC would know. I always just used the service Delta provides and told scheduling I was without a passport. If you don't need a visa or anything it doesn't take long.

country inn and suites south is probably best "value". Restaurant/bar attached to hotel, free breakfast, rooms clean. Aircrew rate is $45+tax or so a total around $52. Call hotel directly and ask for aircrew rate.

Otherwise 88's reviews were good. Least hassle factor in my book goes to Springhill suites, you can get a good rate online by using DLA as the corporate code on reservation for a room at $75 plus tax. Best part is their hotel is on the free light rail to rental cars (halfway, first stop) and so there is no van drama either way, you just ride the free light rail one stop and go downstairs and your there, on return just do the opposite. No waiting for vans.

University of Alabama sorority chastised for it's racy recruitment video. Pretty awful stuff:

I could see immediately why that video has become so controversial.

They didn't use a high definition camera.

Serious lack of fat girls, and I know Timbo and FTB like fat girls!

when I was based there I always did priceline where you name your price. I always put $50 and 3.5 stars and usually got the crowne plaza or the sheraton.

Chicago office would do 3 day with a company letter, but it wouldn't do the same day service because it didn't specify date of travel. It seems different at every office just like anything else that is government.

What's the over/under on the AE results?
