Not as concerned with location as others. Been to ATL more times than I can count, and my stays are more for dining experiences than "tourism"...plus, the friend we go to visit lives in Buckhead, so location is fine.
It's the "mediocre hotel" & "the stay was good not great" that's keeping me away.
I don't have any particular status with IHG...just Platinum thru credit card by Chase. I'm more of an SPG-feign, so if the $122 IC rate is just for an average stay, I'll probably go Westin or W (within $20 of ICs rate).
