10/10 Excellent

"Great location and nice beds!"

Rivet House

8/10 Good

"Room was clean, beds very comfortable. The bathroom set up like others have mentioned is not idea if traveling with say your 17 year old son. The open concept is good use of the space but zero privacy while showering. We stayed while a youth travel team was on there from Macon. Tried to enjoy drinks in the bar late evening but the parents were also there which totally fine but the kids kept running around, in and out, yelling. Parents yelling at the kids etc… it was just a little much at 10:30 in the evening when other guest were attempting to enjoy an after dinner drink in a bar that’s vibe is a little more low key and posh. It was obvious the bartenders and staff were also annoyed but they weren’t in a place to say anything to the disruptive guest. Have stayed at the OG Old Edwards Inn - was hoping for more of that upscale service. Guest reps at desk were pleasant. Will return for UGA move in as we had already booked our few days. Hoping for an over all better experience. Stayed in a corner room right by the train track. Wasn’t as loud as others had mentioned."
