The University of Georgia Center for Continuing Education & Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Enjoyed our stay. It was clean and had good breakfast"

Hyatt Place Athens/Downtown

10/10 Excellent

"Our stay was great only couple things , your parking lot which is part of the hotel’s building should be free of charge for your guests and service staff at the ground floor bar should be aware of guests arrival or entering to bar also shouldn’t be vaping behind the bar( I thought the hotel is smoke free)and finally when I asked about senior citizen discount at front desk staff didn’t know if it was offered or not . Hotel is clean with friendly staff is a plus and breakfast is great !"

SpringHill Suites by Marriott Athens West

10/10 Excellent

"Staff was so helpful, arrived late. Room was clean and comfortable."

Quality Inn & Suites Athens University Area

10/10 Excellent

"Great place! Great staff. It's our go-to. When we go to Athens we have a student that attends UGA so we are there often and the family travels often. It's centrally located worth every penny. Very clean. Only kicker is they have double beds instead of queen beds in the two bedrooms. But besides that love the place and we'll always go back"

The Colonels B&B and Inn

10/10 Excellent

"Breakfast pancakes were outstanding! The Colonel was a gracious host!"

Lavender Hill Bed & Breakfast

10/10 Excellent

"This B&B is a quaint bungalow with spacious rooms, high ceilings and comfortable beds. You can even enjoy your morning coffee or evening drinks on the cozy front porch. Owner/host was most accommodating! Highly recommend! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️"
