Modern simplicity meets convenience at Econo Lodge Decatur, a no-frills, budget-friendly spot located just outside Atlanta. With easy access to public transit and free parking, it’s a great base for music lovers traveling on a budget.

Why Concert-goers love it

Just 2.6 miles from the MARTA-Indian Creek Station, this hotel makes getting into downtown Atlanta for a show super convenient—even if you're not driving. After the encore, head back easily via MARTA or hop in a quick rideshare. While it’s not in the heart of the nightlife, its quieter suburban setting is perfect for those who want to wind down after a loud night out. Check-in starts at 3:00 PM, and with an 11:00 AM checkout, you’ve got time to sleep in a bit after the show.

Who this Hotel is great for

• Groups of friends looking for affordable rooms with easy transit options
• Solo travelers catching a dream concert without breaking the bank
• Couples planning a low-key weekend with a music highlight
• Fans who want peace and quiet after a high-energy night
• Budget-conscious music lovers needing a clean, comfy place to crash

Food and Drink Options

While there’s no on-site restaurant or bar, there are several casual dining spots within a short drive or delivery range. Grab a bite before the show or order late-night eats to your room thanks to local delivery apps. Though there’s no breakfast buffet, many guests grab a quick bite at nearby diners or gas station cafés—perfect for a morning-after refuel.

Nightlife Options

You're not in the center of Atlanta’s nightlife here, but it’s a short drive or MARTA ride to reach the city’s top bars, lounges, and concert venues. If you’re looking for local flavor, nearby neighborhoods like Decatur Square offer laid-back pubs and live music spots worth checking out before or after the show.

What People Say

Guests appreciate the friendly staff, solid WiFi, and especially the free parking—a big plus if you’re driving to shows. Many reviewers mention the value for money, with clean rooms and a no-hassle check-in process. It's not fancy, but it gets the job done for a night or two.

Areas for Improvement

Some rooms could use a refresh, and the lack of on-site dining or bar means you’ll need to plan meals ahead. The surrounding area is quiet, but not exactly buzzing with nightlife. Still, for the price, most guests find it a fair trade-off.

The Bottom Line

If you're headed to a concert in Atlanta and want a low-cost, low-stress place to stay, Econo Lodge Decatur is a solid pick that keeps your focus on the music—not your wallet.
