Pet-friendly hotels near Six Flags White Water, Marietta
Six Flags White Water, at 250 Cobb Parkway North in Marietta, does not let pets in: only trained service animals are admitted, so a dog trip here means a hotel that takes dogs and a plan for the hours at the park. Four hotels near the park have a dog policy I could confirm: Hyatt House Atlanta/Cobb Galleria, La Quinta Inn & Suites by Wyndham Kennesaw, Home2 Suites by Hilton Atlanta Marietta and Tru by Hilton Atlanta NW Kennesaw. All four score 8.4 out of 10 with their guests, across 3,830 reviews in total, and two of them sit about nine minutes by taxi from the park entrance. This page compares their weight limits and room rules, and covers where to walk the dog before and after a day on the slides.
Marietta and Kennesaw are suburban Cobb County: hotels cluster along Interstate 75 by Kennesaw Town Center and around the Cobb Galleria and the ballpark, and almost everything is a short drive rather than a walk. For dog owners that has an upside, the green space of Kennesaw Mountain is minutes away.
Where to stay
Which hotel takes the dog, and how big?
White Water is an outdoor park that opened its 42nd season on 9 May 2026, so dog owners come in the hottest months of the Georgia year. The park rule leaves no grey area, which is why the choice of hotel, and its rules on leaving a dog alone in the room, decides the whole trip.
Hyatt House Atlanta/Cobb Galleria publishes the clearest policy, on Hyatt's own site: dogs up to 50 pounds, and two dogs per room if their combined weight stays at or under 75 pounds. Heavier dogs are at the hotel's discretion, and every pet must be house-trained. The policy is the hotel's own, not a booking-site summary, which matters when you are travelling with two dogs. The catch is location: it is in the Cobb Galleria area by the ballpark, so this is a drive to White Water, not a walk. Guests rate it 8.4 across 1,353 reviews.
La Quinta Inn & Suites by Wyndham Kennesaw is the pick for a big dog: listings give a 75-pound limit per pet, two pets at most, dogs and cats only. Two rules matter more than the weight. Pets are placed only in certain rooms, so the request has to be made to the hotel before arrival, and a pet cannot be left alone in the room. We measure it at about nine minutes by taxi from the park, and it scores 8.4 across 1,225 reviews. With that unattended-pet rule, one adult stays with the dog while the others ride.
Home2 Suites by Hilton Atlanta Marietta, on Kingston Court, ties with La Quinta as the closest of the four to the park in our data: about nine minutes by taxi. It takes up to two pets, and there is a grassy relief area nearby. Listings disagree on its weight limit, 50 pounds on some and 75 on another, so that is the one figure I would have the hotel confirm in writing before arriving with a large dog. Service animals are exempt from its pet charges, and guests rate it 8.4 across 714 reviews.
Tru by Hilton Atlanta NW Kennesaw, at 2975 Ring Road, takes dogs and cats, two at most, with a 75-pound weight limit and no breed restriction reported, plus a pet relief area within walking distance. It is the smallest of the four by review count, 538, but scores the same 8.4. It sits in the Kennesaw Town Center cluster, near the other Kennesaw hotels, so a morning on the leashed-dog trails of Kennesaw Mountain National Battlefield Park and an afternoon at the park fit in one day without crossing the county.
A traveler's takeWith a large dog I would book La Quinta Kennesaw or Tru Kennesaw, both with a 75-pound limit, and I would call La Quinta first to secure one of its pet rooms. With a dog under 50 pounds, or two small dogs, Hyatt House Cobb Galleria has the clearest written policy of the four. Whatever the hotel, I would not plan a full park day with everyone inside: White Water admits only service animals, and the dog cannot be left in a hot car. A morning hike at Kennesaw Mountain, then slides in shifts, works better.

Local tips
- 1Six Flags White Water admits only trained service animals, and Six Flags staff will not look after them while you ride, so someone in your group has to stay with the animal.
- 2La Quinta Kennesaw only places pets in certain rooms; contact the hotel with your booking number before arrival rather than asking at the desk on the evening you check in.
- 3At Kennesaw Mountain National Battlefield Park, dogs are welcome on the trails on a handheld leash no longer than six feet, but not inside the Visitor Center.
- 4Rangers at Kennesaw Mountain have handed out BARK Ranger bandanna vouchers to owners with leashed dogs, redeemable at the park store; carry bags, since waste left on trails is the main complaint.
- 5Home2 Suites Marietta has conflicting weight limits across listings, 50 or 75 pounds; for a dog over 50 pounds, get the hotel to confirm the figure in writing before you book.
- 6The Little Hooch lazy river was closed for a major renovation at the start of the 2026 season, expected to reopen later in the summer, so check its status before planning a day around it.
- 7Plan the dog's long walk in the morning, before the park opens: in a Georgia summer the afternoon heat makes pavements too hot for paws, and the park day runs through it.
