Warnings: G-P Center parking and no free WiFi in hotels

[thatcrazycajun.livejournal.com]

Anyone attending with a car who is driving in and out each day, watch out if you park at the Georgia-Pacific Center. You can NOT get back in any of the garage entrances late at night to retrieve your car; you must go to the building's main walk-in entrance and be buzzed in by the security staff at the front desk, then cross a bridge behind the lobby to get back into the garage. Then you may find the payment machines' bill sliders non-working and have to buzz the intercom to be let out with your vehicle. Try one of the open-air lots instead if you can find one with space available, or a garage with clearly posted hours of operation. CORRECTION: This turned out to be true only on the night before the con (Thursday); the Courtland St. entrance is open and staffed 24 hours each day of the con itself. Apologies for the error.

Also, if you are looking to use free WiFi to get on the Net, the food court at Peachtree Center is the only place you can find it. The hotels' WiFi access in their lobbies is NOT free unless you are a paying hotel guest. With the exception of the Sheraton's Internet café, you will have to pay to get beyond the hotel's website if you don't already have some sort of cellular access.

The cheapest one nearby should be the one across the street from the Marriott Marquis on Peachtree Center. It's an outdoor lot. I THINK it's only about $5 per day.

How much was G-P Center(my old work building) parking per day? Considered it, but wondered about the issues you mentioned...if its open all the days of the con might give it a go next year
