What you get
Southern Suites East Point is a 2 star property at 1295 Norman Berry Dr. The listed facilities are free car parking, a shuttle service and wheelchair accessible access. There is no pool, no restaurant and no fitness room on the list, and the list itself is short. What it does hold is the three things a short stay near the airport actually needs: somewhere to leave a car, a shuttle to move you, and step-free access for anyone who needs it. Ten photos are on file, so you can see the rooms before you commit.
What that adds up to is a practical stop rather than a destination. Southern Suites East Point suits a driver who wants the car parked and a lift to the terminal, or a wheelchair user who needs a doorway that works. It does not suit a holiday, a family week or anyone who wants to spend the day at the property. The rail label reads Airport, Red/Gold, so the trains are the other way to move. The trail label reads Off the loop, which tells you this is not a base for the city's greenway. Treat it as a bed near the airport and it does the job.

Facilities, as listed
Where it puts you
These hotels sit in College Park, on the airport side of town, and the rail connection is the reason to be here. Airport, Red/Gold is the line you want: it puts you on the same system that runs through the centre, so you can reach Five Points without a car, and the site's own verdict on the area is blunt enough to quote: the cheapest bed in metro Atlanta and sixteen minutes by train to Five Points. Right for an early flight, wrong for a holiday.
The BeltLine side is different. College Park is off the loop, which means the trail is not on your doorstep and this is not a neighbourhood you pick for walking the city. What is walkable here is ordinary: you stay close to the station, you eat nearby, you sleep. Book it if you have a plane to catch or you want the lowest bed cost in the metro. Do not book it if you came to Atlanta for the BeltLine.
Booking it
Book Southern Suites East Point if you need a bed close to the airport and a place to leave the car. 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.
