This hotel is in the middle of campus and right next door to UGA sports complex. It’s about a 10min walk to Sanford Stadium. Restaurants & bars are about a 10min walk. Hotel is furnished to a high standard Nd looks newly done. Room was very clean, looked new although on the small side. Parking was free and in the adjacent parking lot. One issue is that hotel & UGA WiFi needs a code sent to a mobile/ cell #. It doesn’t recognise non US tel nos so I couldn’t log into the hotel WiFi. I could log onto UGA WiFi in the lobby but it dropped off when I got to my room, so this needs addressed. Other than this it was a great stay in a great location.

The convenience of being close to the venue we were attending was great. We caught a shuttle that the hotel provided to the venue, however, we were informed when we needed to get back to the hotel, no drivers were available. Shower was small and dirty. It did not have the “rain shower” head though as stated on their website.

Restaurant was excellent, property was clean and well kept. The fact that the covered parking garage was "OFF LIMITS" to motorcycles was an irritating fact not disclosed prior to booking. That was a top factor in the decision to book there for our "motorcycle association national meeting"!! Also, leaving on Sunday we found no breakfast set up and the desk clerk said the kitchen was closed on Sunday. After eating leftover sandwich, someone discovered that the breakfast buffet had been set up in another area! An extremely irritating breakdown in staff communications.

Great deal

This is a great hotel for the price. The rooms are on the smaller side, but when staying in Athens there’s no need to be in the room. Our only “complaint” is the water pressure in the shower. It was very weak. That said, we would stay at this property again.

I knew the location would be perfect, but I didn’t realize everything else would be so great about this hotel as well. The rooms were nicely appointed and plenty big enough for my son and me. We had a great view of campus. Parking was free. There were plenty areas to relax or set up your laptop and work. We received complimentary breakfast. There was even a small exercise room. This will be my first choice anytime we need a hotel in Athens.
