The distance
A short drive from Morrow, on the highway
Morrow sits directly east of us across the interstate, close enough that most guests treat the two towns as one place. It is where the shopping is: Southlake Mall, the retail strip along Mount Zion Road, and the restaurants that come with them. Clayton State University is a few minutes further on. What Morrow does not have much of is affordable lodging on a working road, which is why people booking for a Morrow reason end up here.
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 Morrow
What brings people this way
Southlake Mall
East along the highway. If you are in Morrow to shop, or you have arrived without something you needed, this is the mall most guests use.
Clayton State University
A short drive north. Parents visiting students, people up for an event on campus, and staff on short contracts all book here rather than driving in from further out.
Reynolds Nature Preserve
In Morrow, and one of the few genuinely quiet green spaces in this part of the county.
The Morrow retail corridor
Everything along Mount Zion Road and Jonesboro Road is within a few minutes, which is why guests staying a week tend to do their shopping in Morrow rather than Jonesboro.

Things to Do Near Morrow, GA
Morrow sits just north of Jonesboro on the same side of Clayton County. Guests booking from this direction are usually here for the archives, the concert hall or the mall.
Reynolds Nature Preserve
A 146-acre tract of protected forest run by Clayton County, with about three miles of hiking trails, a Civil War era farm, wildlife ponds, a heritage garden and an interpretive centre. The five ponds were dug in the 1930s.
Spivey Hall
A recital hall on the Clayton State University campus, open since 1991 and seating under 500. It programmes jazz and classical, and its centrepiece is the Albert Schweitzer Memorial pipe organ, built by Fratelli Ruffatti of Padua with 4,413 pipes.
Georgia Archives
The state’s archives moved here from downtown Atlanta in 2003. Guided access to historical records, genealogy workshops and document displays — the reason a good number of guests book several nights in this direction.
National Archives at Atlanta
The Southeast Region branch of the US National Archives, holding federal records for the region. It sits close to the Georgia Archives, so family-history visitors can work through both in one trip.

Questions
Staying here for Morrow

How far is Clayton State University?
A short drive north. Parents visiting students and staff on short contracts book here regularly.
Can I walk to anything in Morrow from the property?
No — Morrow is a short drive away and this is a highway corridor rather than a walkable one. Parking is free, so most guests drive.
Is there a bus to Morrow?
MARTA route 192 runs this corridor. Check current MARTA routing for Morrow specifically before relying on it.
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.

How many people can a room sleep?
King rooms have one king bed and sleep two. Double rooms have two double beds and sleep up to four at the same room rate.
Do you have non-smoking rooms?
