Cool Springs is real convenient. That's exit 69 ( 69 miles from the Alabama line) and just 10 miles north of the I840 connection to I65 (for the Rutherford contingent ).
The motels in Cool Springs are a little high end, but I still don't hear anybody talking about staying over.
There's a nice stretch of pretty open parking lot between Starbucks and Atlanta Bread Co. on Cool Springs Blvd - west from I65 just past the first light on the right.
Again, some great escape routes south from there for some spirited driving.
