I stayed here when I went back to Ga Tech to see how it had changed after 45-yrs and honestly and although I had a high floor couldn't see any part of the campus.
At breakfast, don't ask for biscuits and gravy - they know what it is but for some very odd reason don't have it.
Tech is a LONG walk. We took the MARTA closer to campus but were returning from Underground (which ain't the same any longer).
Didn't see any homeless at the MARTA stop two short blocks from the hotel.
Stop by the Varsity (opened decades ago by Tech dropouts who made a mint) if you can. It's an experience.

1. I've read in this thread that you get $15 certificate for each person per day. So, if I make my reservation for two people, but I am the only one making the trip, will I get $30 credit? How expensive is the breakfast? Will $15 be enough for me? (I don't eat much, so a light breakfast would be enough for me).... and can I use the $15 credit on room service breakfast or I have to be in the restaurant in person?
2. Is the breakfast only provided M-F or every day? And what is their breakfast hours? Because I am staying from Saturday night to Monday morning. So I am just wondering if I can expect the same $15 credit on Sunday morning.
3. I plan to visit Georgia Tech, but I don't plan to have a car. Is the midtown safe at night or during day time to walk around by myself without having to worry about getting mugged? I've heard that marta station midtown is a popular spot for homeless.
4. Is the taxi fare from ATL airport to Ren. midtown still $32 flat fare?
5. With gold elite status, is it possible to get an upgrade (prior to arrival, asked over the phone) to a top floor room with a nice view to Georgia Tech campus?
