Holiday Inn Express Atlanta-Kennesaw by IHG
Free breakfast and a fitness room in Kennesaw
About this hotel
This contemporary Kennesaw hotel sits nine minutes by taxi from Six Flags White Water, near Barret Pkwy at George Busbee Pkwy, and bundles free hot breakfast, free Wi-Fi and free parking into a straightforward stay built for a family that wants the basics covered without extra cost. The outdoor pool and fitness room give a lower-key option for a rest day between park visits, and the full-service laundry helps on a multi-day trip when swimsuits and towels pile up fast. A short walk to Twin Peaks covers dinner without needing the car, and the pet-friendly policy means a family with a dog is not automatically pushed to a different property. It is squarely part of the Kennesaw cluster, closer to Barrett Parkway's chain-hotel strip than to Marietta Square.
- Free breakfast

- Free parking
Our take
This works well for a family that wants free breakfast and free parking covered on the Kennesaw side, with an outdoor pool and fitness room for downtime between park visits. It is a practical, no-frills pick rather than a splurge, best suited to a family prioritizing value and a short ride to the park over full-service extras like a restaurant or a hot tub.
- ✓Book ahead for school-holiday weekends, since the free-breakfast Kennesaw hotels near Barrett Parkway tend to sell out early in peak season.
- ✓Use the fitness room in the morning before the Georgia heat sets in, since it stays cooler than an outdoor workout later in the day.
- ✓Walk to Twin Peaks for dinner rather than driving, since it sits just a few minutes from the hotel entrance on foot.
Why we love it
- Free hot breakfast served every morning
- Free parking with no extra charge
- Fitness room for a rest-day workout
- Nine-minute taxi ride to the park
Why guests love itFree breakfast solved our biggest morning headache, since getting two kids fed and dressed before a park day is hard enough without also finding a coffee shop. The nine-minute taxi ride to Six Flags White Water kept things simple, and walking to Twin Peaks for dinner one night meant nobody had to get back in the car after a day spent entirely on foot inside the park gates.
