Its quirky charm. But acdefinite 3 star hotel

by Jsmith1125

Beware of the advertised rate: this weekend it was more like $259 a night. Which is a lot of money for what this hotel is: In all honesty, its a hipped up economy motel. All rooms are open and face onto the parking lot. There is no safe, no do not disturb sign for housekeeping. So keep your valuables n your car. Room was clean, basic, and quirky fun in decor. But for $259 a nght, you can get more upscale accomodations elsewhere in town.

Super cute hotel

by Amydm7

Very convenient for UGA football games though the price skyrockets on game weekends. Very cute, clean rooms with great amenities. Very nice lobby area with cocktail bar. The Foundry is on the property - great for entertainment. Front desk and housekeeping staff was very friendly and accommodating. Very kind front desk staff helped me check in very early on a Saturday morning when I called and needed to leave a terrible hotel in Athens. Saved the day!
