The Big Chicken

The big chicken. Something that is featured in the "weird Georgia" book. It was built in the 1960s' by the owner, and is a great drive by "we saw that" thing to see. What is it? Why, it's a giant chicken, 56 feet tall, built in front of a KFC in Marietta. Why is it there? I have no idea. Anything special? It's a giant chicken, that moves! On the side of the road, and you can also get lunch.

Overall good hotel. Very convenient location. Staff was very accommodating. Did find a dead roach in our room as we were departing, but no sign of any live ones.

the staff was so friendly and amazing the entire time we stayed. special shoutout to johnny, the valet guy. he was so kind and friendly, even throughout the freezing weather. i’m sure it’s hard for those guys to be outside and maintain a good attitude when it’s that cold, so i really appreciated him and his hospitality :) even those at the front desk were extremely helpful from check in to check out. the hotel was clean, the location was great, definitely will recommend this place to others!!
