What you get
1st Place Hotel is a 2 star property on Snapfinger Woods Dr in Decatur. The list of facilities is broad but plain. Car parking is free, and there is an ATM, a computer room, a meeting room and a 24 hour front desk. Wifi is free. There is an outdoor pool. A shuttle service runs, which matters if you are heading to the airport. Wheelchair access is listed. What is thin is anything beyond the practical: no restaurant, no bar, no gym, no business centre beyond the meeting room and computer room.
For someone staying at 1st Place Hotel, that adds up to a functional base rather than a destination. You get a bed, a shower, a place to park and a connection to the airport. You do not get a lobby you want to sit in or a part of Decatur you can walk out into for dinner. It suits a traveller with a flight to catch or a short work trip where the meeting room and the wifi are the point. It does not suit a couple or a family who want the trip itself to be the holiday.

Where it puts you
These hotels are not in Decatur. They sit in the wider metro, outside the 24 neighbourhoods this site covers, and Decatur is only the nearest of them. Treat that as the shape of the stay: you are based in greater Atlanta, not on the loop, and you should expect to travel for the things the loop is famous for. Decatur itself is its own small city six miles out, with a square, a rail station and the best restaurants-per-capita in Georgia, and the Blue/Green lines stop there, so it is reachable rather than next door.
For the BeltLine, look to the trail: these addresses sit off the loop, at the far end of the mile markings this site uses, and getting onto it means a deliberate trip rather than a stroll out of the lobby. Choose these hotels if you want the metro and its edges, not if you want to wake up inside the city the site is about.
