"It's a very well maintained property, very clean and neat. Amenities (breakfast, snacks, soda, water, beer, wine) are great and staff extremely nice (and available). Room (Ivey) was just what we needed, retro decoration, nice bed, large bathroom. Location is great (S. Milledge). Close to University (walkable), can walk to several restaurants and close to sororities/fraternities, but not within hearing distance. Would highly recommend for an upper scale visit to Athens or UGA"

Top Riverside Park Hotel Reviews

Wingate Athens

10/10 Excellent

"Hotel is undergoing renovations and on its way to being updated on 9/27/26. When we arrived, we thought they were closed by the black tarp in the foyer on the other side of the entry way. We were able to call and got the front desk who talked us in. Hot tub was warm and bubbling, not very hot. Shower had adequate pressure and got warm quickly. Bed was comfortable and the room had recently been done. Smelled very clean. Facility not far from the interstate. Feel it is a good place to stay. Breakfast was real eggs, bacon, biscuits, waffles and the continental stuff."
