Ack! - Hotel help needed from the Dcon people

someone remind me how close the two Marriotts that Dragoncon happens at are.

I'm going to visit [livejournal.com profile] le2pold in Atlanta for the NIN show, and we're going out gothing (I HOPE!) and to the King Tut exhibit and all that. I know that some have liked the Renaissance as a hotel, so we're getting the package there (not expensive enough to make me choke, but will be a nice stay and includes a lot of stuff most specifically breakfast and free parking)

But for some reason I'm having a huge brain fart about getting from point A to point B in the two hotels. The MARTA stop near the Renaissance is not ringing a bell, and honestly I recall getting Lost As Fuck trying to find the Renaissance from the Marquis. And I'd rather use the Five Points MARTA and potentially take L to Sear for dinner one of the nights (I remember a few people talking about it and the menu makes my mouth water!)

So give me some help here, any advice or maps you can point me to? I just need to see it, to make sure I'm making the right hotel choice.

TIA!

Edite to add - I'm also thinking sushi/teriyaki, so any recommends in that vein are awesome. Of course, I might just have to take him to Hooters. *snerk*

I believe you're thinking of the Peachtree Center stop, which is N1 (the first stop north of Five Points). Here's a map for MARTA: http://www.itsmarta.com/

Hope that helps!

Good luck with the gothing...I suspect you may be hard-pressed to find much in Atlanta, the scene so disjointed, it's not really a scene.
