It is by the main downtown area of Athens. So, it has a convenient location. It is a nice hotel, but it is dated. It was sufficient for a quick visit to UGA.

Great location in downtown Athens, easy walk to all the dining, bars, shopping, etc that Athens has to offer. Hotel has some age on it, but is clean and maintained well. Only negative I will note is that the elevators arent the best- they are very slow and somewhat cramped. Other than that, its a solid place to stay.

Excellent location, walking distance to theater ,bars and dining. We chose this hotel because it is pet friendly but no pet amenities ,not even little rug to put water bowl, we always travel with one, but I know ( I worked in hotel) people using guest towels and when you make reservation it should be ask about pets and mention how much pet fee and parking too.
