Hotels I think went pretty quick. I searched on the Hilton site the day after the date was confirmed by FIA and it showed nothing available downtown but was able to squeeze in using Diamond status. If my wife doesn't come with me I'd be willing to split the room. Doubletree Downtown, two double beds.
The track is about 15 miles (25min drive) from downtown and I don't think there is a lot to do around there. A few friends of mine that went last year said there was a lot of fanfest stuff going on downtown and that it was a lot of fun. They sat in GA and said it was a pretty good experience with good perspectives and what not and that they'd do it again. I went to the Spanish Grand Prix this year in GA and liked the ability to move around and watch from multiple points on the track.
I haven't bought tickets yet, so I would definitely be open to participating in a group rate.
