While MARTA doesn't do a very fantastic job getting one anywhere by bus, the
rail is quite reasonable both in price ($2.50, with week and multiday passes
available), timing and accommodation, and you'll not need walk more than
100m to reach any of the listed hotels.

If you arrive after midnight, expect for MARTA's rail to have shut down, in
which case you'll be resolutely gouged for a $30--$40 taxi.
