The distance

On the highway, north-west of College Park

College Park is north-west of us, which for most guests means a fifteen-minute drive. It is one of the older cities on this side of the metro, and like most of the corridor it is easier to visit from a base with free parking than to find affordable parking within it. We are on the same MARTA bus corridor, so guests here without a vehicle can still reach East Point station and the rail network from the door.

The property is at 6358 Old Dixie Highway in Jonesboro. On this stretch Old Dixie Highway is US 19/41 — the route that carried traffic south long before the interstate did, and which becomes Tara Boulevard heading further down. I-75 Exit 235 is less than a mile north of the front desk, so whichever direction you are coming from, you are on and off the highway quickly.
