Americas Best Inn----Totally different hotel $44.00 for 1 bed and $49.00 for 2 beds. There is a micro and a refrig in the rooms. I didnt look at a room there either, but the paint was coming off the outside of the doors so it didnt look all that well kept. Phone number is 770-974-5400

by my understanding they gave us a marked area to play around in with no trouble with tickets am I right?



That was if we went to Lake Martin in Alabama....Not at Allatoona, but I ride this lake all the time and dont see many DNR or Sheriffs on the water....
