This is JUST what I was hoping to get in return for my query!! Thanks so much, Ann! Cindy [Cindy, A nice hotel is the Hampton Inn & Suiotes on Spring St. near Macy's. This is a good area after research. You can shop at Macy's and a little shop call Scarlet Fever right around the corner. You can walk through Centennial Park and go to the top of the Western Peachtree Hotel. You also have access to MARTA> Take the South MARTA train to 5 points and then on EAST line. gET OFF NEXT STOP AT GEORGIA STATE .FROM THIS STOP YOU HAVE ABOUT 2 BLOCKS TO WALK. You might as well enjoy yourself while you are here. Hampton Inn 404.589.1111 1-800-HAMPTON www.hamptoninn-suites.com I live in Midtown and take MARTA all the time. Also come by the Margaret Mitchell House on Monday, Wednesday, or Friday when I am working and I will give you a guided tour. Ann in Atlanta AnnBoutwel@aol.com]
