Just an FYI, I no longer see providers in Buckhead. Why?
#1 - Crime is high--I got my car broken into at a hotel there once and couldn't even call the police to report it as... well, what am I doing at a hotel in Buckhead in the middle of the day when I'm supposed to be at a Dr's appt in Dunwoody?
It's also insanely congested. It can take as long or longer just to drive there and park than you will spend with the provider.
Parking is a challenge as well. Nothing like getting to the providers hotel to be told that you need a room number to park there. Then, you need a room key in many cases just to GET to the room. Nothing like playing Easter egg hunt before your scheduled appointment.
Then, you get the luxury of paying for parking when in most any other area of Atlanta, it's free.
Plus, you get to deal with waterboys, homeless people hanging around your car, people living in their cars at the hotel parking lot... sounds like fun, right?
Perimeter, Galleria, and Peachtree Parkway are easier for most to get to, will save you money, and make it easier on your guests. I hope more providers will consider one of these areas instead.
Perimeter Area and/or Galleria. Also, if you're here on business, I'd factor in where your business meetings are taking place. Traffic can be horrible. Near a MARTA Train area can help minimize the traffic issues. Can take it all the way to and from the airport with just a few bucks.
