During my visit to Atlanta in June 2023 I stayed at the Motel 6
My first preference are hostels though most of those in Atlanta were located far away from downtown and unreachable by metro. So, traveling to-and-fro was not an economical option. Finding a motel right in the middle of downtown Atlanta came as a blessing.
A motel typically means a motor hotel and is a regular hotel designed to cater to the needs of motorists, often situated near major roads or along popular routes. For me these are cheap and no-frills hotels.
But Motel 6 was an exception. It was located in downtown Atlanta and the very close to the PeachTree station on the Marta Metro that connected it directly to the Atlanta airport. I couldn’t have asked for more…!
There was a huge parking in front of the model that was accessible directly from the main street.
The parking itself had several spots reserved for the differently abled 
And if that was not enough there was also a large open public paid parking in the adjacent block.
This is the small front desk of Motel6 and the attendants typically stay indoors and show up only when requested.
I found that the service was OKish and they also refused to let me keep my luggage in the storage after checkout since I did not want to carry it over to the Coca Cola World.
The Motel 6 had both an elevator which was accessible but sluggish and old-fashioned and also a staircase that I prefer over a lift.
The only common facility in the entire motel was an ice cube vending machine that was free.
The room had a comfortable bed, though the accessories like the AC, side table and the telephone were from the 90s era.
The room also had all amenities like a microwave, TV, iron with its table, dust bin, chair, main table, and also a mini fridge.
The washroom was also clean and furnished with various soaps, shampoos and a lot of towels in various sizes.
The view outside the room was that of a very dull and lackluster Hilton that I haven’t seen anywhere else in the US.
Not very far from the motel were top ranked food joints like the Hooters and Hard Rock Cafe.
And only a couple of blocks away were rent-a-bike and also the streets of Atlanta have these unique maps located at prominent places.
I chose Motel 6 since it was located in the downtown, very close the Coca Cola Musem and more importantly the Marta metro station.
