I find it interesting that a quick search for that specific Ramada
Inn has a completely different phone number. The advertised number
is 770-744-3913. Something about this post made me curious. (I
also found a whole lot of negative reviews.)

I'd suggest people do research before giving information or money. Bob

Also make sure that you are talking DIRECTLY to the hotel you want to stay at, not some other booking agency. Recently we went through Booking.com (because their site came up first) and when we got to the hotel Booking .com had not contacted the hotel and we were made to go to a different hotel (late at night). I was not charged as they don’t charge your card until the hotel confirms the purchase. We have even had trouble with the main chain booking agency (the 800 number for Choice hotels) in the distant past.
