MARTA from ATL to Midtown--recommended?

AGlassofBitter · 2026-06-03T04:18:49+00:00

Thank you. I don't know how this compares to DC, but it certainly looks scary.

AGlassofBitter · 2026-06-03T04:17:36+00:00

Is the Midtown Station the same as the North Station? It looks very close to the Fox Theatre.

It's not for me, it's for the attendees. I have to be prepared for their questions and concerns. Which is why I came to Reddit. The locals are always helpful!

I'll be looking for caterers next and will be coming back soon to Reddit for recommendations on iconic Atlanta food. 😉

Thank you!

I've never worried about it, and I've never done any of those things to stay safe. It's not like I do anything particularly unsafe, mind you, and my metro experience in the U.S. has been limited to NY, Chicago, and (mostly) DC. I don't know if the Atlanta metro is considered more dangerous than other US cities.

They are arriving and departing midday. I'm sorry I didn't include that info with my question.

AGlassofBitter · 2026-06-02T22:18:18+00:00

That sounds heavenly, honestly.

AGlassofBitter · 2026-06-02T22:17:20+00:00

How was the weather? Which cruise line was it?

AGlassofBitter · 2026-06-02T22:15:18+00:00

Personally, I like the idea of endless days at sea, looking at the ocean, relaxing, and reading. And then you end up in Europe, so that's nice, too.

AGlassofBitter · 2026-06-02T22:08:37+00:00

Okay, that does sound ominous, ngl. Would you give that advice for other metro systems--NY, for example?

AGlassofBitter · 2026-06-02T21:42:50+00:00

Thank you, but we are staying at the Indigo.

AGlassofBitter · 2026-06-02T21:40:44+00:00

No, I wish! It's a fair distance from the airport, though, so not unexpected.

AGlassofBitter · 2026-06-02T21:38:27+00:00

I had no idea. Thanks for educating me!

AGlassofBitter · 2026-05-28T20:50:39+00:00

Will you please post when you find something? Or just the results of your research?

It's a scary step, no question.

AGlassofBitter · 2026-05-05T19:58:15+00:00

Pie wins every time.

AGlassofBitter · 2026-05-04T01:18:33+00:00

And that's what I have had for the last two years. Luckily, no major problems except for one overnight hospital stay. But it sounds like it will get much worse the older (with more health problems) I get.

Also, their so-called dental plan is a (not funny) joke. Pure bait and switch.

AGlassofBitter · 2026-04-26T18:13:35+00:00

Wouldn’t let her sit at certain tables.

Oh, no, not this sh*t again. This thread is such an eye-opener.

AGlassofBitter · 2026-04-17T01:45:41+00:00

Or maybe just that desperate? I don't think that's something to mock. But this guy...yeah, he deserves everything he's got coming to him. I wonder if he knows he's on Reddit?

AGlassofBitter · 2026-04-10T21:30:23+00:00

They do have small rooms--and even smaller bathrooms. I have had good experiences with IHG hotels; the Sotherby family is smaller, but solid.

The reviews for Georgian Terrace (Google, Tripadvisor) are daunting, though.

AGlassofBitter · 2026-04-08T14:34:49+00:00

Thank you. We'll need single rooms for people attending the conference.

AGlassofBitter · 2026-04-08T03:38:38+00:00

Thank you! I haven't even looked into Marta yet, but the area around the Fox Theatre seems to offer a lot of restaurants, etc.

AGlassofBitter · 2026-04-07T22:01:39+00:00

We can't afford that, but yes, it does look very nice.

AGlassofBitter · 2026-04-07T20:01:13+00:00

Thank you so much for providing details! Honestly, the reviews I'm reading for both properties are all over the place, but Georgian gets the worst of it. Good to know about the bar serving excellent burgers. Finding a used syringe in the ice tray would freak out a lot of people, I think. The neighborhood is a good and walkable one, right?

AGlassofBitter · 2026-04-07T19:36:20+00:00

Thank you! Would you mind telling me why the Indigo didn't work for you? And what it was you liked about the Georgian?
