If you’re headed to Atlanta but need to spend a night or two without spending too much money, you’re actually in luck. Contrary to what you might think without having spent much time in the city, Atlanta is famous for affordability, at least when compared to other major U.S. cities. That means the hotel you think will cost you upwards of $300 or more for a spot near sought-after locations like Midtown, Downtown and ATL/KATL could actually cost you less than $100, and yes, it’s totally safe.
So if you’re willing to sacrifice some of the ritz and glamour of higher-end lodging, there are more than a few options for spending less money while getting the full ATL experience. Use this guide to affordable Atlanta hotels next time you need to remain within a small budget but want to do it big in the capital city of the South.
