When exiting the MARTA Station, exit through the sign directing you to “Peachtree Place / Ga. Tech Stinger Shuttle.” The Tech Trolley picks up directly outside the MARTA rail station entrance. Guests will want to exit the trolley on 5th Street, just west of Spring Street, which is the first stop after departing the MARTA station. Guests need to walk to the Spring Street intersection and the hotel will be directly across 5th Street. There is a revolving door at the corner of 5th Street and Spring Street that guests may enter, but to enter hotel after 9pm, they must continue down Spring Street in front of hotel to the main guest entrance which will be on the right.

• To get to the airport via Tech Trolley and Marta, guests must board the Tech Trolley across the street from where they were dropped off for the hotel (in front of Great Clips Hair Salon). Guests will then exit at the Midtown Marta Station and board the South Bound Train to the airport.
