Our Story
Oak Ridge isn't just a dot on the map — it's a town built from one of the most consequential chapters in American history. The Manhattan Project started here, and the people who shaped that era left behind a community that still carries that spirit of purpose and resilience.
Atomic Lodge No 1301 sits right in the middle of it all. We're not a chain, and we don't pretend to be something we're not. We're a small, caring place that wants every guest to feel at ease — whether you're here for a weekend of history tours, a work assignment, or simply a night's rest on the road.
The name pays homage to the town's legacy, and the number? That's just us — grounded, no-frills, and genuinely happy to have you stay.
