What you get
Baymont by Wyndham Smyrna is a 2 star property at 5130 South Cobb Drive, 8.6 km from Bankhead, which is the nearest of the 24 neighbourhoods this site covers. The listed facilities cover the basics a driver wants: free car parking and free Wifi, a 24 Hour Front Desk, air conditioning, family rooms, non smoking rooms and pets allowed. Rooms come with a desk, TV, telephone, alarm clock, iron and board, hairdryer and toiletries, plus a microwave, refrigerator and coffee for simple meals. The list is thin on anything beyond that. There is an indoor pool, a swimming pool, a jacuzzi and a Fitness Center, but no restaurant, no bar, no business centre and no kitchen.
Baymont by Wyndham Smyrna is a practical stop, not a destination. You park outside your room, you have a fridge and a microwave, and you can swim indoors whatever the weather. The trade is that South Cobb Drive is a commercial road and the hotel sits on it; this is a place you drive to and drive away from, not one you wander out of. It suits someone with a car who needs a bed near the northwest side of the metro, and it suits a pet owner and a family in one room. It does not suit anyone arriving on foot or expecting to walk to dinner, shopping or a rail stop.

Where it puts you
These hotels are not in Bankhead. They sit outside the twenty four neighbourhoods this site covers, in the wider metro, and Bankhead is only the nearest of them. Treat it as a marker on the map, not as your address. What that means in practice is travel: the loop's famous stretches, its restaurants and its crowds, are not on your doorstep, and you should plan your days around getting to them rather than assuming they are close.
Bankhead itself sits on the northwest side, on the Green line at Bankhead, with 0.7 mi to trail and a Beltline mile of 13.2. The site's own note on the area is blunt: the lowest median on the loop and a Green line station, thin on places to eat, so plan to travel for dinner. Book here if you want the wider metro as your base and don't mind the distance from the loop. It is wrong if you came for the Beltline on foot.
