I'll be in Atlanta for just a few days next year--does anyone know some good CHEAP options for hotels? I never spend much time in them so I don't want to pay a lot. Thanks!
Anywhere downtown is expensive, although try travelzoo for specials. Outlying chains shave off a lot of cash. If u r there for just a few days without a car stay along the MARTA line, eg Buckhead (Atlanta) or Downtown Atlanta. Cheaper hotels can shunt you to the MARTA line, but that is a pain. If driving, be careful! Especially on the interstates thru town.

The Garden Plaza Atlanta / Norcross is clean and decently priced. The Savannah Suites on Pine st is another cool budget spot. For a little more money, I'd stay at the The Highland Inn. Small place that feels more like an apartment building has a southern feel to it.

Depends where you're staying/which city- area & what you plan to do in atl. But try Hotwire.com or hotels.com for cheaper last minute hotel rates. Just don't stay in areas like college park etc. Not safe!
