Struggling Metro Atlanta Room Rates Create Bargains for Travelers
(AJC) — Five years ago, the chances of getting room rates of less than $100 at a swanky upscale hotel like the W or the Grand Hyatt were few and far between.
But these days, with the economy lumbering and the inventory of hotels in metro Atlanta way outnumbering guests, room rates — the amount a visitor pays for lodging — have stagnated and are creating unheard of deals that could last into 2012, lodging experts say.
Biddingfortravel.com, which lets users of priceline.com post accepted bids for rooms, shows that visitors recently got the Westin Atlanta Airport for $44 while the InterContinental Buckhead accepted a bid for a $90 stay. The cost for the Atlanta Marriott Northwest in the Cobb County Galleria area went for $34 at the same time that the W Hotel Perimeter approved a room for $50.
