Budget hotel, College Park

ATL publishes no nightly hotel rates, so nothing on its pages tells you which room is cheapest. Its pages do show how you reach each hotel, and that decides whether the trip adds a cost. At the Domestic Terminal, hotel vans pick up in Aisle C of the Ground Transportation Center.

## College Park and East Point hotels, by how you reach them

The stalls sit at the west curb of the Domestic Terminal, and ATL groups the [hotels](https://atlairportguide.com/hotels/) by area.

| How you reach it | Hotels |
| --- | --- |
| Stalls C1 to C2 | Days Inn by Wyndham College Park/Atlanta/Airport South and Howard Johnson by Wyndham Atlanta College Park, both in College Park |
| Stalls C3 to C5 | In College Park: Comfort Inn Atlanta Airport, Sleep Inn Atlanta Airport, Hyatt Place Atlanta Airport South, Hilton Garden Inn Atlanta Airport/Millenium Center, Microtel Inn & Suites by Wyndham and SKY POINT Hotel & Suites |
| Stalls C6 to C8 | Fairfield Inn & Suites Atlanta Airport North, in East Point |
| SkyTrain | SpringHill Suites Atlanta Airport Gateway, in College Park |

ATL’s ground transportation page lists many more hotels by stall. C1 to C2 covers College Park, Camp Creek and Union City. C3 to C5 is the south group and C6 to C8 the north. Four Points by Sheraton and Radisson Atlanta Airport are among the others, so find your hotel there if it’s not above. ATL says to call your hotel for shuttle times, so ask before you land, especially for a late or early flight.

## What the ride costs

Some hotels around the airport provide free shuttle service, ATL says, so ask whether yours does when you book. The [SkyTrain](https://atlairportguide.com/transport/skytrain/) is complimentary and runs 24 hours a day, seven days a week. ATL lists SpringHill Suites Gateway among its stops. The train boards outside baggage claim at the Domestic Terminal.

If you arrive at the International Terminal, ATL puts the hotel pickup to the right of door A3, and some hotels give limited service there.

## When the room is downtown

MARTA is the paid route. Its Airport Station is on the west end of the Domestic Terminal, between the north and south baggage claims. The standard [fare](https://atlairportguide.com/transport/marta-rail/) is $2.50, with up to four free transfers within three hours. The Hilton Atlanta is joined by skywalk to Peachtree Center and its MARTA station. Discover Atlanta puts that station about 11 miles and a 20-minute ride from the airport.
