MARTA is the easiest option because it brings you right to the door of the hotel. You don’t even have to cross the street! Getting to Hotel Indigo via MARTA may also be faster than taking a taxi.
Hartsfield-Jackson provides easy access to MARTA inside the airport. The station is nestled in-between the north and south baggage claim areas on the west end of the domestic terminal. A one-way MARTA pass can be purchased (using credit card payment) for $2.50 in the same area where you board the train. Your MARTA card is reusable and can be reloaded for the remainder of your visit.
