The distance
A short drive from Forest Park, on the highway
Forest Park is where a lot of Clayton County’s freight actually moves. The Kroger and Sanofi distribution centres, the Farmers Market, and the warehousing between them employ thousands of people, and the drivers servicing those docks need somewhere to sleep that does not care what time they arrive. We are south down the same road, with a front desk staffed 24 hours and parking that is free and lit through the night.
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.

Questions
Staying here for Forest Park
How far is the Forest Park distribution corridor?
The Kroger distribution centre on Anvil Block Road and the Sanofi centre on Southpoint Drive are both a few miles north. Most guests are at their dock without crossing the city.
Can I check in after a night shift?
Yes. The front desk is staffed 24 hours a day, so arrival time genuinely does not matter.
Do you take bookings for a whole crew?
Yes. With 90+ rooms the desk can usually place a crew together at short notice. Ask for a crew rate on the phone.
Is there parking for a work vehicle?
Free parking on the lot beside the rooms. For anything larger than a van, call the desk first — there are no tractor-trailer bays here.
Do you offer weekly or monthly rates?
Yes — weekly from seven nights and monthly from 28, quoted by the front desk rather than published.
Is there food at the motel?
No restaurant, bar, coffee shop or breakfast service. There is complimentary coffee at the front desk from 7 to 11 AM, a mini-fridge and microwave in every room, a 24-hour Waffle House about a hundred yards away, and food delivery is welcome to your door.
What does a room cost?
Rates vary by room type, day of the week and season, so rather than publish a figure that may not apply to your dates, call the front desk on (770) 305-0300 for tonight’s rate. There is no booking fee and nothing is charged until you arrive.
Do you have accessible rooms?
Yes, wheelchair-accessible king rooms, all non-smoking. Because the number is limited, call ahead so the right room is held for your dates.
Do I have to pay when I book?
No. Reserve online or by phone and pay at the front desk when you arrive, cash or card. No card is taken to hold a standard reservation.
