  Hotel
  The Atlanta Marriott Marquis is located in the downtown Peachtree Center, which offers indoor access to Marta transit.
  
  NRHA’s discounted hotel rate is $195 plus tax (currently 16.9% plus $5 per night Georgia hotel/motel fee). The discount deadline is April 14 or when rooms sell out.

  Fraud alert
  Some NRHA’s members have been contacted by companies claiming to represent NRHA in booking hotel reservations for this conference. This is unfortunately a widespread problem in the meeting industry. NRHA does not use a third party booking service, and hotel reservations can be booked directly.
