Hopefully an Atlanta member will check in here....we have a few. My wife and I got married on the square in Marietta. She grew up in the area......and I say area because if you haven't been to Atlanta, I can't really describe what you're up against here.

"Marietta" covers a large section of northwest Atlanta and in it you can find any motel/hotel chain existent. Price will not be a problem unless you insist on a Marriott or something. The real problem here is location. Where in Marietta? Kennesaw used to be a little town far outside the city limits but it has been swallowed up by the continual expansion. What is referred to as "Metroplex Atlanta" covers all or parts of 12 counties! Every exit on I-75 which comes in from the north and passes both Kennenesaw and Marietta has at least 6 or 7 motels and shopping areas as well.

I lived there in the early 80's and it was huge then...but now when I go down to visit Karen's family, it's completely unrecognizable! Her sister has lived there the whole time and the changes are less noticeable, but roads I remember as narrow two lanes are now 4 lane limited access! The place just continues to grow.........They now have an outerbelt outside of the outerbelt!!!

Talk to your family and ask them what would be close and suitable...In the case of Atlanta, it's really the best thing.
