We picked this hotel for its proximity to UGA Vet hospital. The check-in process was wonderful and the staff member was fantastic! We had to change rooms and it was not a problem. The room was spacious and clean. Great beds and the shower was fantastic! It was also very quiet. Unfortunately the refrigerator dripped water and our items inside became soaked. The breakfast was fantastic. The only thing we were really disappointed about was that the hot tub was cold. We brought it to a team member’s attention and he said he’d tell maintenance. The hot tub was the thing we were most excited for at this hotel.

Location was good for me as it was close to downtown athens. First room assigned had quite a bit of dampness and some mold growth on window. This was quickly rectified by front desk and new room was acceptable

The breakfast was a little lack luster in the grab and go category. Room was spacious and clean, but they had something that I assume is a humidifier running that I had to unplug at night because it was glowing bright colors.
