Will Busse be doing the package rate for hotels this year? I want to make my reservation for Blade but haven't seen any info.
 
Well the Busse crew will stay at the Renaissance Waverly which is attached to the Cobb Centre and a good many people will stay there but the rooms are fairly high at least for a poor boy like me. In the past Busse has gotten a group rate at a nearby hotel. In the past they used the Extended stay hotel but they switched the hotel last year and I haven't see any info for this year.
 
The renaissance is sold out unless there is block of Busse rooms. If there are I would like to get one. :) My wife thinks we're going to IKEA. :thumbup:

The Waverly always sells out quick, extremely convenient and a really nice hotel but holy hell it's expensive, plus you don't even get free internet. I can 99% guarantee Busse didn't reserve a block of rooms there for customers.

If I remember right, all the hotels near buy sold out quick and Busse didn't offer discounted rates, but I could be wrong, it was a year ago so...
 
No they don't reserve rooms at the Waverly it is usually a cheaper hotel and it is not really reservations but a group rate on a room if you reserve under the Busse group. Last time I went in 2010 it was at the Extended Stay Express which was a couple of miles from the Centre but they changed hotels last year cab't remember which one it was. I have been looking up rates and the Extended Stay is about the cheapest I have found at about $60-$70 a night these are big rooms with a full size fridge,stove and recliner and couch. Not fancy but not a dump either. I have never had any issues staying there but one of the Hogs did have their car broken in to one year and stuff stolen. If I don't hear anything soon that is where I will probably book.
They usually have already given this information out which is why I am asking but maybe they are not doing it this year.
 
I stay at the Homestead Cumberland extended stay hotel, just off Spring Street and only a couple of mile away. The other Homestead is a couple of miles North of the Show, this one is west.
 
The one I stayed at was the same chain but at 2225 Interstate North Pkwy. but I may try yours this year if they still have any rooms available.
 
It's far enough away from Cobb Parkway to be nice and quiet, yet easy to get to the show..;):thumbup:
 
If you're looking for decent stay on a budget try La Quinta at Delk Road.
It minutes away from Galleria right off I-75 and next to a Cracker Barrel.

La Quinta Inn Atlanta Marietta
2170 Delk Rd, Marietta, GA 30067-8761

I just ran a rate check and they have rooms available starting at $57
 
I don't have any idea as I don't deal with this stuff but I will do some checking and find out for everyone.

I got one of the Busse block rooms last year but with finances this year I am lucky just to get to go. My son and I will be driving down Saturday morning and driving back after the induction dinner Saturday night. It was much easier to drive back after some sleep.
 
Made mine at the Extended Stay Interstate N. Pkwy.

My scoot knows the way from the Waverly. Bout 2 miles.
 
The Hampton Inn, as of last week, anyway, still had rooms under the Blade show special rate. It's only .25 miles away from Cobb.
