The hotel was dark and worn. Room heat/air conditioner was very loud, as was the refrigerator. The shower head had weak water flow. No streaming options on TV other than casting from phone.

We didn’t stay, booked online after trouble with our vehicle heading to see our son graduate from his Navy Bootcamp training and had to turn around and find a hotel near the dealership. Picked this one.. come inside after making the reservation to be greeted by the most unfriendly lady I have met in my entire life. Lobby smelled terrible as well. This particular hotel will not let you stay if you live within a 30 mile radius. In addition the customer service is absolutely awful.

My room was very spacious and the staff wer nice. The only thing that I thought was weird is that it had a no locals policy so if you live within a 30 mi radius you can’t check in. I think it should be in bold whenever someone is booking it, but other than that great stay!

Great place to stay for game weekend.

The hotel staff was very friendly and happy to assist with extra requests-blankets, towels, etc. Bed comfortable, room spacious, off a quiet street, away from highway noise. 15 minute drive to downtown Athens for Georgia game. No issues with traffic.

Won’t stay here again

We stayed here for a football game. We had to be moved to another room immediately after checking in due to stains on the bedspread and sheets. Bugs in the room too. The hotel did this with no issue. Towels were so very thin and not good quality. At $509 a night we expected quite a bit more. Such a disappointment!
