Several bus stops along N Decatur Rd are within a 10-minute walk, and Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport is about a 35-minute drive away. Popular Atlanta attractions such as Piedmont Park, Atlanta Botanical Garden, Ponce City Market, Perimeter Mall, Zoo Atlanta, and the Georgia World Congress Center are all reachable for day trips.
Best for
Tiny Medlock suits couples, solo travelers, or those visiting Emory University, Decatur Emory Hospital, or family in the Decatur area, given its short 5-7 minute proximity to these destinations. It also appeals to guests who value a self-contained, home-like stay with a kitchen, laundry, and private patio over a standard hotel room.
Travel tips
