What you get
The Westin Atlanta Airport lists the full set of things a 4 star airport hotel is expected to have: free wifi, an indoor pool, a fitness centre, a restaurant or restaurants, a bar, room service and a 24 hour front desk. Rooms come with air conditioning, a bath or shower, a hairdryer, an iron and board, a safe, a refrigerator, a coffee setup and a TV. There is a business centre, a market, laundry service, luggage storage, parking, a shuttle service and wheelchair access. Pets are allowed. Breakfast is listed, though the facilities do not say whether it is included or charged separately, and the bar and snack listing is vague about what is actually open. The list is thin on detail rather than on category: you know a pool exists, not when you can use it.
For someone flying out of Atlanta, The Westin Atlanta Airport covers the practical bases: a shuttle service, a 24 hour front desk, express check in and a location 2.8 km from the centre of College Park. The indoor pool and fitness centre give you something to do between check out and a flight, and the restaurant and bar mean you do not have to leave the property to eat. That is the whole case for staying here. It suits a traveller with an early departure or a long layover, and it suits a business trip where the office or the terminal is the destination. It does not suit anyone treating Atlanta as a holiday. There is no sense of neighbourhood here, and the 4 star label buys reliability, not character.

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 this one when the flight is the point of the trip, not the city. 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.
