GA-MARIETTA - DAYS INN - POSTED

Location and coupon

I needed / wanted to spend the night in Marietta to be close as possible to my AM appt in Marietta. A coupon for $39 got my attention … plus big rig parking.
Turns out the big rig parking is wherever you can find it, there is not a dedicated area. But tonight that is not a problem, we had two and there would have been room for more.
We … I am traveling with someone tomorrow so we decided to meet up tonight. That brought the price from $39, to $49. (After I check out I see that the Motel 6 at the same exit is $29 for the next night, not sure what it was that night)
As far as the motel … check in and out was pleasant, same person both times.
Room was clean, quiet and the AC worked … that is all I need. Room was big enough for two, it didn't seem cramped like some. Beds, pillows made for a good nights sleep.
Breakfast in the AM was the usual … plus biscuits and gravy & Pop Tarts. Didn't see a waffle machine but I may have missed it, not a big spread but enough.
The only food within walking distance is Dave & Busters, good food, high prices. If I do stay somewhere else in the future, it will likely be because of food. (With a big rig, I don't like to drive once I have checked in for the night)







GA- MARIETTA - DAVE & BUSTERS - POSTED

Huge

1st impression was 'WOW.' 2nd impression was … how do I get seated and served?
(I will agree with the poster who was 'Disappointed,' this place needs signs or someone to let people know where to go for what.)
I walked into the place behind another couple, we both went to the 'food' area and waited to be seated … and waited … and waited. Finally we all walked back to the entrance area and after being there a while, the couple had to almost grab an employee walking by to get their attention.
That is how we found out that there was also a 'seat yourself' area. We both chose that (seeing no one seemed to be working the other area.) From there on things improved. I was given a menu almost right away, and they came back shortly after to take my order, food was delivered timely.
Ended up with my usual … Philly Cheesesteak. This one had the meat sliced finely, the onions, peppers and mushrooms were grilled to a 'soft' state. I chose the onion strings (finely sliced), they may have been called something else. Very good, didn't need my usual ketchup on the rings.
Got full, so didn't eat all the bun but did eat all the meat and veggie's … good, but $10+ for the sandwich.
