What you get
The Fairfield Inn and Suites by Marriott Atlanta Airport North lists the things an airport hotel is judged on: a 24 hour front desk, express check in, a shuttle service, free car parking and free wifi. Rooms are non smoking, air conditioned, and come with a bath or shower, a WC and a TV. There is an outdoor pool, a fitness center, a buffet, coffee, laundry and dry cleaning service, a safe, an ATM and lifts. Wheelchair accessible rooms are listed, and there is a smoking area for those who want one. The list is thin on anything beyond the functional: no restaurant is named, no bar, no meeting space.
What that adds up to at the Fairfield Inn and Suites by Marriott Atlanta Airport North is a bed, a shower and a lift to the terminal, with the car parked and the desk staffed whenever you arrive. It suits a cancelled connection, a dawn departure or one night either side of a flight, and it suits anyone who would rather not move the car again until the trip is over. It does not suit a holiday. College Park is 2.2 km from the centre of College Park, and the hotel is on the Airport, Red/Gold line and Off the loop, so the city is reachable, but nothing here is trying to be a destination. Come for the flight, not the stay.

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 and the hotel is the support act. 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.
