Atlanta Westin for 3 days

Some people love the Atlanta airport. I am not one of them. I guess I am not easy to please in airport design. Much as I don't love the long straight lines of places like Phoenix Sky Harbor, I am also chagrined at places that force me to take subway systems and then walk. With Atlanta it felt like too long a wait and too long a ride. and what's up with that creepy Ant sculpture? I get it AtlANTa, but yuck. Anyway, I was pretty stoked that I remembered that at the baggage claim there is only one exit towards the cabs. Also good to know is that you have to pay the little cab office first if you are using credit card and it's a flat rate to wherever you are going. Nice way to reduce gouging.

I stayed at the Westin in downtown ATL, the rooms of which were quite nice, though the building has a lot of energy coming off it. No, not new age voodoo energy, but like, actual movement. I was checking out the horrific dueling mirrors that gave me a view of my backside in its full glory, and the mirrors were vibrating the whole time. This same feeling persisted in the room when there was a storm raging outside. This is the hotel whose windows were ripped off when a tornado swooped through the very middle of the highway into downtown. Anyway, totally nice hotel, The Cafe restaurant was way too pricey for entrees. The bar made a delicious dirty martini with a twist. They have a rough time regulating the inside temperature because of their enormous atrium. Anyway, I had to get a fedex package delivered and they charged me a 5 dollar delivery fee. 5 dollars to get my package delivered to me, that's in addition to the fedex fee. seriously? what is that? They also charged our company 10 dollars a box for a receiving fee. Anyway, it's not worth all that. Last time I was here I stayed at the Omni at the CNN Center and don't remember any weird delivery fees. They also had a large foodcourt downstairs. So, for what I'm guessing is about the same price, I would definitely go with the Omni.
