oh well. the hampton had a long enough walk lol. anyway approximately how much would a cab be for all 3 nights there and back for such a short distance. strange, but ive never used one before

For those short trips in Midtown, it's difficult to find anyone that will give you the meter rate; they'll probably charge you a flat rate.
Here's some numbers if you want to get an estimate:
Rapid Taxi 404-222-9888
Yellow Cab Company 404-521-0200
Atlanta Checker Cab 404-351-1111

Hey - dunno if you know it but I got the news about the Hampton closing yesterday and the first call was to the Residence Inn, just to see what they had available. I was able to get a 1br with a sleeper sofa for a mere $209/night (grrr). I reserved it waiting to see what the Hampton has to offer in place of the room I had reserved. It may be available later if they give me something decent - but I may just eat the high cost in exchange for being close enuff to walk and i'll have a fridge and a kitchen so it may allow for some of the cost savings on eating out & drinking in bars.
Anyway - not sure what else they have available but i figured it was withing walking distance - which is a biggie for me coz i think getting a cab after the shows is going to be a lengthy process with so many people being dsiplaced.
Cheers

It's really not worth paying that much more simply to reduce your walking time. The RI is about a 7 or 8 minute walk from the venue... the Hampton is about a 10 or 11 minute walk... and the Courtyard is about a 17 or 18 minute walk. Unless you're on crutches or something, it's not a bad walk.
Hell, I think the Sheraton is only $109/night for two beds, and that's about the same distance as the Hampton. The only difference is I don't think there's a fridge, but with the money you'll save, you can eat out 5 times a day.
I think I've read somewhere that the Super 8 is a 10min. walk as well and you pay much less for a room, so that means more money for drinking at the show.

:Smokin:The parking lot I use is a good 8 minute walk away and well worth it for the money and exercise.

Thats where i have my room booked.
I wouldn't do it alone, but that's just me. And, as is the case in most places, always make sure to watch your back and be aware of your surroundings.
