They sent me a list a few months ago. IIRC we did not use it since we figured that being closer to them was not much of an advantage since that meant an expensive cab ride from the airport times 2. Plus we would still need to provide transportation for the trip to Seachem and to the Aquarium. I could look on the East side of Atlanta (still w/in a reasonable cab ride to the airport) but it would still be far from the aquarium and seachem. I have quotes coming from the Sheraton Downtown and the Hilton Downtown. Both are within 6 blocks of the aquarium but both are expensive- don't know exactly how much til they give us the quote.
