The distance
A short drive from Lake City, on the highway
Lake City is small — a couple of square miles on Jonesboro Road between Morrow and Forest Park — and it does not have much in the way of places to stay. Visitors with business there generally end up on the Old Dixie Highway corridor, which is where we are, south-west along the corridor. It is a short, straightforward drive with no interstate involved.
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.
Why guests book here for Lake City
What brings people this way
Straight up Jonesboro Road
Lake City sits on Jonesboro Road just north-east of us, close enough that guests often do not realise they have crossed between the two.
A small city with limited lodging
Lake City is one of Clayton County’s smaller municipalities and has very little accommodation of its own. Most visitors stay on this corridor.
Between Morrow and Forest Park
Handy if your work takes you to both — you are a few minutes from each rather than committed to one.
Weekly and monthly rates
For anyone working a job in Lake City for more than a week, the nightly rate is not the one to ask for.

Things to Do Near Lake City, GA
Lake City is small — under two square miles, incorporated in 1951, and named for a lake that once sat on the town site and has since been filled in. Alongside the community park there is Willie Oswalt Park on Jonesboro Road, which has a pavilion looking over the water, and the Lake City Community Center, a hall of nearly 5,000 square feet used for weddings, reunions and city meetings. For a fuller day out, the town is bordered by Morrow to the south and Forest Park to the west and north.
Lake City Community Park
On Phillips Drive, with a playground and paved walking trails. It is the main green space inside the city limits and the one most guests staying this way actually use — a straightforward place to stretch your legs rather than a day out.
