We spent a couple of nights at the Atlanta Marriott Downtown, a hotel we knew previously from the La Leche League conference in April 2006. I was reminded how the low-end full-service hotels such as Marriott are a compromise I’d rather not make. I’d prefer to stay in a lower-service hotel such as a Holiday [...]
