There were times we needed to find someplace safe, affordable, & decent to stay while in the Atlanta area. We discovered this place while in Stone Mounain and we loved it so much & couldn't find anything even CLOSE to being as nice, or as safe in Atlanta so we were willing to drive the 30 mins from Atlanta to stay here. I feel like this place is seriously the best kept secret of places to stay in the Atlanta area. The outside looks deceiving. But the rooms are SO nice and fresh and SO clean! The smart TVs are huge and you can log into your streaming services from them (just remember to log out before you leave). The staff is incredibly kind and helpful. We almost didn't stay here because of the few reviews that said the staff would lie to keep your deposit. I can't afford that, so I called them to discuss my concerns beforehand. They said they've had people smoke in the rooms which isn't allowed so as long as no one smokes in the rooms, or on the property, its not a problem. I am a smoker, and so the person at the front desk mentioned that I could smoke along the fence, but I wasn't sure exactly where she meant by that, so just to be extra cautious I chose to step outside the parking lot. I would walk to the entrance of the parking lot & stand on the sidewalk there to smoke. It would only take me maybe 3 mins to walk there. We've now stayed 4 separate times & have never had an issue getting our deposit back. Also the breakfast is one of the best I've had at a motel.
