>The cheapest way to get to the hotel is to take MARTA.  You will need to buy a MARTA card for $1.75 for the One-Way fare.  There is an additional 50 cents added to the first card you get.   Take either line North (they both end at the Airport).  Stay on the train and get off at Peachtree Center Station.
>
>At Peachtree Center Station, take the stairs that are toward the front of the train (North Exits).  Once you get to the platform and exit, go towards the right-hand side escalators. 
>
>Once you get to the top, you will have to go towards the right.  Go to the left into the food court area.  Do not go onto the escalators that go up to the street.
>
>Once inside the food court, go forward to the second left (right past Caribou Coffee).  Go down the hall, and over the bridge.  This will take you into an office building.  Go into the building and make a left.  You will go through some double doors and the Marriott is to the right.

>Be careful when you are on the street.  There are homeless folks that will try to lead you to the hotel and hit you up for money.
