HOTELS???

Hi Mary, I don't have any pull at the conference center, but I know that they do sometimes give some very nice rates on the weekend. I would call and talk direct (I think the reservation desk has limited hours, as I've seen on their site)- MFM

Other info

There are two hotels within walking distance of the Emory campus. The conference center is expensive, but sometimes has great weekend rates.

This link should show about 12 motels along Interstate 85 between 400 and Shallowford Road (in addition to the ones discussed above). All are sufficiently convenient to the Emory area.
