Default Good Hotel Parking Options in Atlanta?

I’ll be heading home from picking up my HTC and stopping one night in the Atlanta area just after Christmas. Any recommendations for hotels with good parking? Perhaps covered? I know many places have valet but not crazy about someone driving my new Vette on what I would consider imperfect streets!

I have stayed at Hampton Inn, Stockbridge, GA which is just South of Atlanta. Out of the mainstream ATL traffic. Open free parking lot. Had no issues with car there. Restaurants near by.

We stayed here: https://www.marriott.com/hotels/trav...anta-kennesaw/

Is North of Atlanta in Kennesaw and wasn't far off I-75; also is off the main drag - stayed here 2 nights and felt safe - had no problems.

I lived in Kennesaw - NW of Atlanta - close to I-75 just off Barrett Parkway from August 2013- April 2021. My in-laws live on the South side of Atlanta off I-75 and there isn't anywhere between Atlanta and Macon where I would be comfortable parking a C8 overnight.

The Kennesaw area is pretty affluent and doesn't attract a lot of crime. It isn't uncommon to see a C8 or other expensive cars in the area around Barrett Parkway. Barrett is the major thoroughfare in that area because of Towne Center Mall and has a lot of restaurants as well.

I found a list of hotels that I would be comfortable staying in around that area - you can pick from whatever fits your budget.

As far as covered parking is concerned you would have to go to downtown Atlanta to get that and I don't go there after dark unless it's absolutely necessary. Your car wouldn't be safe there either. The current Mayor of Atlanta is a one term Mayor not running for re-election next year due to her very poor record on crime.

Thanks everyone....taking your advice and booked a hotel in the Kennesaw area....looks like nice, well planned roads/parking lots....choices for dinner that night....right off highway to get on the road right away and make it home the next day.

I live in alpharetta which is a nice area. If you need anything let me know. Barrett parkway has alot of restaurants and is close to interstate as you mentioned. I think its a good idea to stay north of atlanta because traffic is heavy depending on when you arrive.
