Cheshire Motor Inn
Hotels · Atlanta, GA
About
This Route 66-style motel is a budget option focused on privacy and discretion, with an open design that has no front lobby. It's popular for cruising, especially in the forested back building where cars go in and out. The location is its standout feature: 2 blocks from Manifest 4 U, Club Eros, Jungle, Heretic, BJ Roosters, and Inserection. It's also a short walk or drive from the Hotel Indigo Atlanta Midtown if you want a different vibe nearby.
But it's not the Ritz. Reviews mention issues like a non-working phone, slightly moldy shower curtain, and rough towels. Rooms are spacious with a king bed, mini-fridge, and microwave. Rates are low, and it offers free Wi-Fi and parking. The crowd skews toward men seeking hookups. Check current operating status before visiting.

Very attractive men, great atmosphere all around this area. Just over an hour drive from Chattanooga. Close to everything, easy layout, nice amenities.

“Is this still a good place for cruising”
I'm planning to stay here during the first week of December 2015 and I'm wondering if this place is still cruisy. I'm hoping to hook up with lots of guys, but if it's not cruisy anymore, I'll stay somewhere else.

“Good basic Motel next to the gay action”
This motel is nothing fancy. It's not the Ritz, people. But it's a solid motel for the price and conveniently located near most bars and sex clubs. Definitely Atlanta's version of San Francisco's Beck's Motor Lodge.

“Location, location, location!”
The best thing about this motel is its location. It's two blocks from Manifest 4 U, Club Eros, Jungle, Heretic, BJ Roosters, and Inserection! The rest of Midtown is easily accessible via Piedmont Avenue. You can drive or walk (avoid parking hassle!) to any of these places from here. Since the motel has an open design with no front lobby, you have complete privacy to bring anyone back to your room. I stayed in the back building, which is very wooded and has lots of cars coming and going, so cruising is heavy! Rates are also the best in town, with free Wi-Fi and free on-site parking. That said, this isn't the Ritz. The phone doesn't work, the shower curtain was slightly moldy, and the towels were a bit rough (so bring your own soft ones). But the room was spacious (king-size bed) with a small refrigerator and a microwave oven (and why is there a Bible in the nightstand?!) Bottom line: if you're looking for a man's man motel, this is it. Otherwise, there are better options elsewhere.
