Hotel is conveniently located near Downtown and the U of Ga. Rooms is clean, well-appointed and represents a good value. Noise may be a problem as the hotel hosts U of Ga. orientations. Staff very helpful and courteous. Should offer a free continental breakfast like the Holiday Inn Express down the road.

Positives: Location, cleanliness, helpful staff, value.

Negatives: Should include continental breakfast like its sister Holiday Inn Express.

Positives: It was very close to my daughter's resident hall.

Negatives: Roaches in the room and unclean bath towels.

Perfect location for a football game at UGA. Walking distance to stadium, and they let you tailgate in the parking lot! Super friendly staff and very helpful with parking, etc. They even let us park our car there before the check in time so we didn't have to pay $20 to park in a public parking area. Very, very nice people!

Positives: Great location Friendly staff.

Negatives: Beds not very comfortable.

The location was fantastic and the rooms were great for the price. Small, but clean. There was insufficient parking available and we had to park across the street on one occasion. The room was rather damp; there was no fan in the bathroom. It would have been perfect with a de-humidifier.

Positives: Location!

Negatives: Temp. Regulation, moisture in the air, not enough parking.

Hotel was dated. Staff was friendly, but at check in, tried to charge me for the room. The staff seemed to need some training. There were also some maintenance issues.

Positives: It was in a good location.

Negatives: It was extremely dated. The tile in bathroom was worn, therefore dirty. The sink would not drain and the toilet leaked.

This was really pleasant. I had driven past this hotel several times and thought that it would be moldy, old, and outdated because it looks that way from the road. This was not the case in the room, though. Everything was clean, neat, and pretty great for a hotel of this caliber. We will stay here again if we can get this price again.

Positives: The hotel looks better inside than out. It was wonderfully close to everything!

Negatives: The outside looks old and dated.

The hotel is a great location for visiting Athens--you can walk to campus and downtown. Everything is right there.

Positives: The hotel has the perfect location--a step away from campus and downtown.

Negatives: The hotel rooms were nothing special, just average.
