Marta and parking.

[fritzlang1927.livejournal.com]

Hello all,
I have stayed at the Marriott and Sheraton for the last two years but the need to save some money has made me decide to try something different. I am thinking about staying at a hotel on the perimeter near the medical center Marta station. I thought about driving in and parking every day but reading through the older posts makes me think this is not such a good idea. The catch is that I like to stay late at night but the thought of a late night ride on a public transit system over the weekend just doesn't sound very appealing or safe. I have been on rapid  transit systems in many other cities and countries but never ATL so I defer to your opinions. Is there anyone out there who thinks driving in and parking daily is a viable option? Has anyone used Marta late at night. How is the Medical Center Station? I am not too familiar with Atlanta so any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks so much!

Hi! I'm in the same boat. We ended up reserving a hotel three stops from Dragon*con to save money. I don't usually do much late night stuff, though. I think last year I went to one party, but it isn't a big deal for me to not do that this year. I'm really not keen on riding the subway alone at night.
