Hotel A small block of rooms are reserved at the Hampton Inn Atlanta - Georgia Tech, 244 North Ave NW (404-881-0881). The group rate is $117 per night plus tax (appr. 16%, resulting in a ~$136 rate) and includes a hot breakfast and high speed wireless access. A group web page will be available to book online in the next week. In the meantime, the group rooms may be reserved by calling the hotel and asking for the "Einstein Toolkit Workshop" rate. Attendees have until 20. March to reserve.
Transportation - Hotel The best way to get to the hotel from the airport (or elsewhere) is by taking MARTA's red or gold rail line, which costs about $2.50 one-way, to the North Avenue station. It should take approximately 20 minutes to the station. From North Ave station, walk west for ~0.5 miles or transfer to MARTA bus route 26 to the stop immediately in front of the hotel.
Transportation - Workshop The student center is a 5-minute (~1/3 mile) walk from Hampton Inn. Georgia Tech campus (specifically the student center) can also be easily reached by taking the Georgia Tech Trolley (free) from e.g. the Midtown MARTA station to its end station.
