cheap hotels...help!!!! Going to Atlanta

[sairose]

Anyone use Priceline or something similar to book hotels? If so what kind of luck did you have? Tips? Advice? Info?

I'm going to Atlanta with a friend very soon--from March 18-21. I want to save whatever kind of $$ I can.

If not through Pricline....what sites give the best rates? I know from traveling to other cities it is cheaper to stay outside the city or in a suburb or whatever...but I also don't want to book blindly and end up in a bad area. So if I were to stay in a suburb or whatever, where should I stay? Advice please!

Thanks!
