An indoor pool makes any hotel special. Whether you swim laps for exercise, want a place for the kids to splash off-season or are avoiding the threat of sunburn during the summer, checking into an hotel with an indoor pool is a practical and fun way to get your money's worth from a hotel stay. When you're traveling in Georgia, you'll be happy to know there are options at every price point.
