What you get
Landmark is a four star property on Piedmont Avenue Northeast in Sweet Auburn, and the list of facilities is practical rather than flashy. Every room has air conditioning, a bathroom, a TV and free Wifi, and there is internet access in the building. Several rooms come with a kitchen, which is the single most useful thing here for anyone staying more than a couple of days. You also get lifts, non smoking rooms, a smoke detector, a laundry service and a smoking area. Outside there is a swimming pool, described in the listing as an outdoor pool, and parking is free, which matters in this part of the city.
Landmark is at 0.5 km from the centre of Sweet Auburn, so you are inside the neighbourhood rather than on its edge. King Memorial, Blue/Green, is the rail label attached to this address, and there is 0.4 mi to trail, which puts the beltline path within reach on foot. The combination is a self contained flat with a pool and a car space, not a hotel with staff on hand around the clock. Book Landmark if you want space, a kitchen and somewhere to leave a car while you use the rail line. Look elsewhere if you want daily housekeeping, a restaurant downstairs or a lobby to sit in.

Facilities, as listed
Where it puts you
These hotels sit in Sweet Auburn, on the east side of town, with the King birth home, Ebenezer Baptist and the curb market inside four blocks. The rail connection is King Memorial, Blue/Green, which puts the rest of the city within reach without a car. The BeltLine is close too: the trail is a short hop from these doors, and the site logs the address at 0.9 on the BeltLine.
Daytime here is walkable and dense with history. After dark it goes quiet, and the quiet suits some travellers and not others. If you want nightlife outside your door, this is the wrong pocket of the city. If you want the civil rights district on foot and a straightforward train ride to everything else, it works. Couples and solo travellers here for the history get the most out of it; groups chasing bars should look elsewhere.
Booking it
Booking Landmark means booking an apartment style stay in Sweet Auburn rather than a conventional hotel room, so check the kitchen and pool details 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.
