What you get
Rodeway Inn Marietta near Dobbins ARB lists car parking, and it lists it twice: free car parking and car parking. You also get free wifi, free internet access in the lounge, laundry service, a smoking area and wheelchair access. That is the whole list. There is no pool, no gym, no restaurant and no breakfast. The 2 star rating tells you what the facilities page already does: this is a bed with a parking space, not a base with anything to do on site. Rooms are somewhere to sleep, not somewhere to spend an evening.
What that adds up to is a straightforward motel for a driver. Rodeway Inn Marietta near Dobbins ARB suits someone passing through, working nearby or catching an early flight who wants free parking and free wifi and does not care what the building looks like. It does not suit a holiday, a family break or anyone hoping to walk to dinner, because there is no rail and the nearest neighbourhood this site covers is West Midtown, 16.6 km from West Midtown, which is the nearest of the 24 neighbourhoods this site covers. You need a car here. With that, it does the job.

Facilities, as listed
Where it puts you
These hotels are not in West Midtown. They are not in any of the 24 neighbourhoods this site covers. They sit out in the wider metro, and West Midtown is only the nearest of the neighbourhoods, which is a different thing from close. Treat the city as a trip you make rather than a place you step out into, and plan on travelling for what the loop is known for.
West Midtown itself is warehouses turned into design shops and the densest good eating in the city. No train, and you feel it at rush hour. Bus and bike are the rail options here, not rail, and the trail sits 0.5 mi to trail. If you want the eating and the shops on foot, this is the wrong base. If you want a bed in the metro and a reason to drive in, it works.

Booking it
Book this one only if you have a car and want the parking included, since the car park is the point of the place. Most rooms here can be cancelled free, and you book them through app.impt.io. Every confirmed booking removes one tonne of CO2, at no extra cost to you. Five percent of what you pay comes back as IMPT credit, out of the hotel commission rather than added to your bill.
