Simple Hotels Near Six Flags White Water, Marietta
For simple hotels near Six Flags White Water in Marietta, the Days Inn by Wyndham Marietta White Water is the only one of the three on this page you can walk from: the hotel puts the park less than a mile away, about 12 minutes on foot along North Marietta Parkway. The other two, the Comfort Inn near the ballpark and the La Quinta in Kennesaw, are eight to nine minutes away by taxi. All three serve a hot breakfast, have parking on site and accept dogs, and together they average 7.7 out of 10 across 2,440 guest reviews. Timing matters more than the hotel here: White Water is an outdoor park that only opens for the summer season.
Marietta and Kennesaw form a line of suburbs along I-75 north-west of Atlanta, where Six Flags White Water shares the area with Marietta Square, Kennesaw Mountain and the Cumberland district around Truist Park. Hotels here are mostly roadside chains with car parks, built for drivers rather than walkers, and the park is one of the few attractions in reach on foot from any of them.
Where to stay
Which simple hotel works for a park day
Six Flags White Water is a seasonal outdoor park in Marietta, north-west of Atlanta. The 2026 season opened on Saturday 9 May with weekends only, then switched to daily operation from 22 May, before winding down with a run of final weekends. A no-frills motel or chain hotel suits it well: a park day lasts from opening to late afternoon, and what a family needs afterwards is a pool, a breakfast before the gates open and parking for the car.
The Days Inn by Wyndham Marietta White Water, at 753 North Marietta Parkway, is the one to book if walking matters. The hotel's own page puts the park less than a mile away, and Hotels.com gives a 12-minute, 1.1 km walk. It is also a five-minute drive from Marietta Square. It has an outdoor pool, a hot breakfast and RV parking, useful for families arriving in a camper. The weak point is the score, 7.0 out of 10 from 582 reviews, the lowest of the three, so I would treat it as a place to sleep between park days.
The La Quinta Inn & Suites by Wyndham Kennesaw has the best rating of the three, 8.4 out of 10, and the most reviews, 1,225. It is a nine-minute taxi ride from the park, north up the I-75 corridor towards Kennesaw, with an outdoor pool, a gym and a hot breakfast. I would choose it for a two- or three-night stay where comfort matters more than the walk, and for families who also plan a morning at Kennesaw Mountain National Battlefield Park, which sits on this side of the park, before the heat of the day.
The Comfort Inn Marietta-Atlanta near Ballpark/Galleria sits between the park and the Cumberland district, eight minutes by taxi from White Water. Its score of 7.8 from 633 reviews places it between the other two, and it offers a hot breakfast, a fitness center and dog-friendly rooms. Its real advantage is the location for a mixed trip: it is the base I would pick to combine a White Water day with a Braves game at Truist Park, whose stadium area gives the hotel its name, or with the Cumberland Galleria shops.
The park itself has changed for 2026. The Little Hooch Lazy River, a signature attraction since 1984, is under a major renovation focused on long-term durability, and the park expected it to reopen later in the summer, so do not count on it early in the season. A new premium experience center rents cabanas, lounge chairs and lazy-river tubes, and Fast Lane lets guests skip waits on selected rides. Season passholders with children aged 3 to 5 could register them for a Pre-K Pass until 31 May, valid at 22 Six Flags parks.
A traveler's takeI would book the Days Inn on North Marietta Parkway for a single park day, walk to the gates for opening and come back on foot when the children have had enough. For a longer stay, I would pay the short taxi ride and sleep at the La Quinta in Kennesaw, the best-rated of the three. Before booking any of them, I would check the park calendar for the exact dates: outside the summer season, White Water is closed and none of these hotels has a reason to be on the list.

The nine-minute taxi ride kept things simple, and walking to Sivas Tavern for dinner one night felt like a genuine treat on a budget trip.

Check availabilityWhy guests love itKeeping the room rate this low left more of the budget for park tickets and meals, which mattered on a trip with two kids who eat like teenagers already. Free breakfast every morning covered at least one meal without extra cost, and the short taxi ride to Season for dinner one night proved that a budget stay does not have to mean a boring one.
