Tru by Hilton Atlanta NW Kennesaw
Simple rooms, a gym and a bar near Kennesaw
About this hotel
This unassuming Kennesaw hotel near Ring Road at George Busbee Pkwy keeps its offering simple: free hot breakfast, an outdoor pool, a gym and a casual bar for the evening, without the suite layouts or full restaurant of the pricier properties nearby. The pet-friendly policy means a family with a dog is not restricted to the strictly budget tier, and a short taxi ride to Tin Lizzy's Cantina adds a dinner option beyond the hotel bar. It sits close to the Southern Museum of Civil War and Locomotive History, useful for a rest-day outing, and parking here carries a fee rather than being included as it is at several nearby hotels along Barrett Parkway. Simplicity is the whole point of this particular stay.

Our take
This suits a family that wants a simple bar for the evening and a gym alongside the standard free breakfast, without paying for suite space or a full restaurant they may not use much anyway. It is a straightforward, mid-tier pick rather than a splurge, best for a family that mostly wants a clean, simple base near the park gates.
- ✓Use the gym in the early morning before a full day of walking and standing in line at the water park.
- ✓Have a drink at the bar on your last night rather than driving out, since it is a simple but genuine on-site option.
- ✓Factor in the parking fee when comparing this hotel against the free-parking options nearby in the same cluster.
Why we love it

Why guests love itA drink at the simple hotel bar became our evening ritual after two long days of slides, easier than driving out to find somewhere new with tired kids in tow. Free breakfast every morning kept costs down, and the short taxi ride to Tin Lizzy's Cantina for dinner one night added just enough variety to the trip without much extra effort.
