A truly unique hotel with great history. They have an actual coffee shop in the lobby but no breakfast the the restaurant that’s attached is rarely open. This hotel is perfectly placed close to great food and entertainment.

Good Spot for UGA games
We were only there for one night, but the front desk staff was friendly, and the room was clean and comfortable. There is an onsite restaurant but there are about 3 things on the menu for dinner; it's definitely more of a bar.

Great spot in Athens
We had a great experience. This location is perfect for visiting downtown Athens or the University of Georgia. We walked to a football game and came back to a nice, quiet hotel room.

Nice hotel, walk to downtown
Very nice hotel, great location, walk to downtown, comfortable beds and AC worked well. Staff was helpful and friendly. Had a fridge and a nice tea kettle/ coffee pot. Bathroom had a nice shower.

Good stay!
Excellent service and I love the decor. A few things could have been cleaner and the AC didn’t seem to be working to full capacity, but overall we would definitely stay here again. Location is wonderful, parking is easy, and breakfast/coffee in the morning is excellent.

Average hotel
The room was clean, but the finishes and furnishings were older- the bathroom was tiny. The window air conditioning was set at 66 to keep the room cool… the side of the bed near the ac was cold, but the other side got no air, so it was hot. For the price we paid, I would stay at another hotel next time.

The best way to recharge
The bed was so comfortable with every type of pillow you could want, I got the best night of sleep in a long time. The mocha and breakfast burrito were also stellar in the morning. Crispy potatoes and plenty of filling in the burrito and it came with a chunky salsa verde.
