Oh well..I just booked into the REN ATL for the rest of the stay..will be checking out early tomorrow.

I assumed you checked and found out that the 2 Hotels have 2 different owners. Sometimes all you will be doing is changing Hotels, but it wont make any difference if they are owned by the same owners. The only thing you will be doing is instead of putting your $$$ into the left pocket of the pants is to put it into the right pocket, but it will be the same pair of pants.

Thats why I started checking to make sure the Hotel Im changing over to isnt owned by the same party. I made that mistake once and vowed not to be caught with my pants down a 2nd time.
