Wyndham Atlanta Visit

[mcnamarami]

Last minute trip to Wyndham Atlanta. First tip…. don’t bother renting a car, especially if it is your first visit to the city. An Uber ride is about $25 to the Wyndham. We took a taxi…cost was $40 as we had no Uber account. Valet parking at Wyndham is $57 per day. Six days would have been almost $350 just to “pahk the car.” We did the 5 hour Atlanta tour and it was well worth the $70 each fee. Used Uber the second day to visit Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta (free) and World of Coca-Cola Museum ($20 each). Uber cost was $11 for each visit and we walked back to the Wyndham from the museum. Visited the Wyndham swimming pool for a few hours. Beautiful pool with a bar. Wyndham personnel couldn’t be nicer and more accommodating to us. Definitely had their Southern Charm in full use.

I understand that this has been a highly successful resort from a sales prospective--it is a tremendous location and a high end caliber resort.

The MARTA public transportation is very easy from this resort. The tram stops by the ferris wheel and there are bus stops nearby. The subway/train is at the stadium at Centennial Park and another line about 4 block away. Get a transit pass! It's a great location.

And if u pack light, it’s easy to take Marta to/from the airport

I used to travel to Atlanta frequently. It's crazy for you to say that you don't need a car there.

If you are just going to be in town for a couple days, and have a very sculpted itenery which includes stuff close by, then yes, fine, you don't. But if you are staying more than a couple days you are going to exhaust your "close by" options quickly and you will burn through $$$ on uber quickly.

Marta is useless unless you are going to the airport. It's one of the worst public transit systems in the country. Their light rail is kind of a joke too.

Admittedly there is a lot to do within a fairly close distance of the resort, and the safety of downtown Atlanta is vastly better than it was even 10 years ago. In the 70's through earlly 2000's it was a war zone
