Anyone have a suggestion for a nice place to stay, moderately priced, clean and safe for the Phillips Arena area.

Restaurants, too?

Thanks!

It has been YEARS since I stayed at the Marriott Marquis, but it was nice when I did. We recently stayed at the Westin and took Marta to a concert at Piedmont Park, then cabbed it home. Marta is fine on the way, but not where I want to be late night. On another note, sounds like there is a lot going on the weekend that you are coming. Marta may be jammed with tourists....safety in crowds.

That reminds me....we had a late night dinner at the Vortex on Peachtree (more Midtown)...the burgers and beer were yummy! ;-)

The original Vortex downtown was awesome! And, since they moved, I haven't been back - Little Five Vortex is great, though.

Marriott Marquis is still fabulous! I'd beware of the older boutique hotels that have been 'refurbished' - very thin walls.

What's the concert?

The Vortex on Peach in Midtown is great. Love the bison burgers. We go pretty often because it's a short walk from where our daughter and SIL live. Huge portions. Our son-in-law is thin, yet he eats an amazing amount of food. But when they go there, they split an order.

I believe the concert is at Philips.

Try the Ellis - it's at the corner of P'tree and Ellis across the street from the Ritz. Recently renovated historic hotel near Peachtree Center. It's small, so it may be booked already also.

Dave Matthews.:clap:

The Ellis is booked also, probably going to go with Westin, even though the reviews were very mixed as everything downtown is booked.

Thanks for the help everyone.
