Macon, Georgia
Before the apocalypse, this motel served as a short-term shelter and lodging business providing rental rooms for tourists and passing motorists who drive through Macon, Georgia. The motel itself is a two-story building located on the outskirts of the town near a wooded forest next to a highway. The motel appears to be in a fairly enclosed location which offers a great deal of protection and ideal shelter.



Episode 1: A New Day
When the apocalypse started, the motel was abandoned along with some of its occupants (or having them turn into walkers) leaving behind there empty vehicles which had some supplies such as weapons in them. volunteered to go on a supply run and got some gas from the abandon vehicles parked at the motel. While getting the fuel, he hears someone crying in one of the motel rooms and investigates and finds out there is another survivor named Irene in one of the rooms. While talking to her he is suddenly trapped and pinned down by walkers at the motel while trying to save her. He hid in an icebox until Lee and Carley came to rescue him, at which point he helped them kill the walkers and rescue Irene, who committed suicide due to being bitten and not wanting to turn into a walker. After, the group leaves and heads back to the pharmacy.

Later, once the pharmacy safe house was compromised, the entire group flees to the motel again to regroup and come up with a plan. Once there, Lee talks among the survivors to see how everyone is doing and coping after the incident at the pharmacy. Once Lee talks to everyone, he decides that due to the motel's location, it would make a good ideal hideout until the Military can come and rescue them. As Lee finishes talking, the power suddenly goes out leaving the group in darkness and fear...

Episode 2: Starved for Help
The motel is still seen in this episode as the survivors situation becomes more dire and desperate. It is unknown if they leave the motel and join Andrew St. John at his dairy farm or continue to use the motel as a base of operations.
