East Side2 nights3.0 star property7.8/10 - Good (1,000 reviews)"The staff were really kind and helpful. I would like to acknowledge that first. The rooms were big and clean. My mom and stepdad enjoyed the breakfast a lot. But outside the rooms, there were large bugs. I would encourage you to sweep up the dead bugs outside the rooms daily. The rooms also have a mildewy smell. However for the cost, this hotel is a decent option."Reviewed July 29, 2026Roundtrip • Baltimore (BWI) - Atlanta (ATL)BWI - ATL • Nonstop ATL - BWI • Nonstop$393$275found 1 day agoper traveler - 4 Minutes to Downtown by the Atlanta Beltline Trail in the Cabbagetown Neighborhood

However, horseback riding and ATV's are no longer available (apparently for years), although the website still mentions both.
