Alternate Hotels?

[Kendricke]

<div>I'm curious about alternate hotels that other Everquest/Everquest 2 players may have already booked. </div><div> </div><div> </div>

Because I'm staying some extra time after the FF, I booked some additional nights at the "Residence Inn Atlanta Downtown". $179/night, and not that far from the FF hotel either (FF hotel was also booked up solid for the days AFTER FF). Only a couple of blocks away.Not ideal, but could work if you couldn't get in the main hotel. Also try Google Local. They had quite a number of hotels, and you can see them all on the map when searching.

<div></div><div>I've booked rooms at The Hilton it's one of the two that are connected to the marquis only 119 a night</div>

<div></div><div>We've booked a two-bedroom suite at the Holiday Inn Express. It's in Buckhead which is a bit of a distance but there is a Marta station next to the Holiday Inn and one close to the FanFaire, We got the suite for only $149 a night. With 4 of us attending we decided it would be much more comfortable and cost efficient.</div>

<div></div><p>i did speak with someone at the hoytel today who told me if someone from SOE called there they could probably open up additional rooms at the advertised rate.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p>i dont know if that is something SOE would have to pay more for or anything tough.. just an FYI</p>

<div></div>Has SOE blocked any additional rooms at an alternate hotel? I was only able to get a room at the Marquis for Friday and Saturday they are completely booked solid and had no room on thursday at any rate and I already have a plane ticket to arrive on Thursday.

Is it possible that someone can contact the hotel and do that for those of us that have made all other arrangments and are unable to find a hotel anywhere else near the site in altanta??</span></font></p></div><div><p><font face="Times New Roman" size="3"><span></span></font> </p></div><div><p><font face="Times New Roman" size="3"><span></span></font> </p></div><div><p><font face="Times New Roman" size="3"><span>Thanks for you time</span></font></p><p><font face="Times New Roman" size="3"><span></span></font> </p><p><font face="Times New Roman" size="3"><span></span></font> </p><p><font face="Times New Roman" size="3"><span>and got back a responce of </span></font></p><p><font face="Times New Roman" size="3"><span></span></font> </p><p><font face="Times New Roman" size="3"><span><span>Hello, I will look in to this for your.

<div></div><div>i have been emailing back and forth with <a target="_blank" href="mailto:[email protected]">[email protected]</a></div><div> </div><div>and this was the last responce i got back on firday</div><div> </div><div><span>I just heard back from our travel rep. I heard the nearby Hyatt has rooms available for $145. We aren’t going to have a block there but I think you can get a room there for the first night and then move over to the Marriott for the remainder of your stay. Let me know if you have any trouble reserving rooms there. Thanks!</span></div><div><span></span> </div><div><span></span> </div><div><span></span> </div><div><span></span> </div><div><span><font size="3"><em>however i tryed calling the main hotel again to be told they are all booked up.  So i then emailed back again to see if there was someone specific to talk to and whatnot and have not gotten a responce to that as of yet.</em> </font></span></div>

I booked through Expedia.com. I'm staying at the Days Inn in Norcross. I have a guildie who lives there, and I'm renting a car. So I'll be able to get around without too many problems, long as I have a map. <img src="/smilies/8a80c6485cd926be453217d59a84a888.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" />

<div></div><p>I've booked two rooms at the Courtyard Atlanta Buckhead -- <a target="_blank" href="http://marriott.com/property/propertypage/ATLCB">http://marriott.com/property/propertypage/ATLCB</a></p><p>It's about 4 miles from the event, has *free* highspeed internet and they had rooms available last week when I added the 2nd room.  If you have AAA or another discount program (like government rates) you can get the room for about $115, but the normal cost is $179 / night.</p>
