This works for me...will be returning to the States sometime in Sept. but not sure exactly when. Maybe get a trip to Cozumel in before. Oct. is good
Actually, I had a studio at the RI this year for $99 through their website. In 2005, our room was only $90!! Now they want to charge $159 for the same room and they aren't offering and web discounts. Bummer. I guess they've gotten wise to us. So I'm going back to the Granada, which isn't cheap either, but since we don't have to rent a car or take cabs, it's not that bad. And since we have a kitchen, my boyfriend and I will just stock up on groceries. I should have a few people over to our room because he cooks like a mofo.
I'm going to stay at the Residence Inn again. I hate that they jacked the rates, but I think that hotel is far nicer than the Grenada. The Grenada is a dump in my opinion, and I have had several issues with them during previous stays. The Grenada ... sometimes a great place to party, but I wouldn't want to stay there. It depends on the year, but sometimes they even bitch at you for partying to loudly.I'm not sure when the Residence decided to start gouging like that. I really like that hotel better, and I really didn't like the Grenada much during my one stay. That said, the Residence just isn't $70+/night better.
I'm hoping everyone decides to stay elsewhere in order to send a message to those greedy bastards!

That's god damn expensive rooms there in Atlanta. Just visited Keep it True in Germany, a very nice hotel including breakfast was 70$ for TWO nights !!!!
Hey guys/gals,
I have a call in to Residence Inn to see ifwe can get some rate decrease consideration since we can pretty much guarantee them full occupancy if they are closer to the rates they had last year. If I am not mistaken a few people got moved elsewhere because they were completely booked last year correct? At this rate (with their new price) they won't have squat this year from us.
I'll let you know if it works out. What price point do you all feel comfortable paying, realising that it will be a bit more than last year? I know I had paid $129 night for the "studio" I think they call it. Would $139-145 be a good target for you all?
Feedback please, thanks!
Which Mariott? There are three in Midtown: the RI, the Suites, and the Courtyard... and I'm looking for a more affordable room than the one I have booked, since I don't know if I'll have a roommate or not.
