What you get
The 2 Mi to Dtwn: Family friendly Atlanta Retreat lists a full kitchen, with an oven, a microwave, a dishwasher, a refrigerator and a toaster, plus coffee, a washing machine, air conditioning, a fan, a TV, free wifi and internet access. There is a bathroom with a shower, a WC, towels, toiletries and a hairdryer, an iron and board, a desk, a cot, smoke and first aid provisions, non smoking rooms, parking and pets allowed. It is a three star property, and the list is thin on the things a serviced hotel would add: no lift, no breakfast, no reception and no daily housekeeping.
What that adds up to at the 2 Mi to Dtwn: Family friendly Atlanta Retreat is a self contained base rather than a hotel. You cook, you wash, you park, you let the dog in and you come and go without passing anyone. The address sits 1.2 km from the centre of West End, where the West End, Red/Gold line runs, and the trail at the door puts a path within reach of the front step. This suits a family or a small group staying several days who want space and a kitchen. It does not suit anyone who wants a concierge, a restaurant downstairs or a room cleaned every morning.

Where it puts you
You are staying in West End, on the west side of Atlanta, where the neighbourhood has its own rail station. West End, Red and Gold, puts the rest of the city within reach without a car, and the trail is at the door, so you can step out and walk or ride from where you sleep. The site calls this the cheapest base with its own rail station and trail access.
What sits right here is the historic AUC campuses, next door to the hotels. Groceries need a short trip, so plan for that rather than assuming a full kitchen run on foot. This suits you if you want a cheap bed with rail and trail on the doorstep and do not mind travelling for food. It suits you less if you want shops, bars and restaurants within a few steps of the front desk.
Booking it
Book this one if you want the whole place to yourself rather than a room in a building, and read the cancellation terms before you commit. 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.
