Really all around a great experience! Best sleep I’ve had in years. Walking distance to everything including the game. Shuttle service is a plus. Bike rentals a plus. Parking is a little crazy but why drive when you can take a shuttle bus or ride a bike or even walk. Coffee shop, bar and restaurant all on site. Great coffe, pretty good food.

Very nice centrally located college theme hotel
Although centrally located it is tucked back in from a very busy intersection that makes it hard to see/find. Parking is very limited.

Nice location down town Athens
The hotel it's self was exceptional, spent the first 30 mins looking at the interesting art in the room, the restaurant left a not so good an impression, the service and food I would say was fair at best.

Nice location
Pros:Close restaurants
Very close to all of the regular venues we visit in Athens. Nice, quaint location and plenty to do within their complex.

Disappointed; Misleading Website, noise, crowds, partyers make it feel unsafe
We are completing our stay, and are very disappointed. This hotel was recommended for a conference nearby. The website suggests this hotel would provide historic charm and modern conveniences, but doesn't reveal that the events hosted by the hotel (parties, dances, receptions, etc.) impose dramatically upon the hotel's paying guests. Specific concerns: The hotel rooms are located in a converted motel or apartment, with room doors opening into a parking lot. Ice machines require a trip outdoors. Our room window faced the busy street, so we had traffic noises from both sides. The rooms form a semicircle facing the parking lot, with an open party pavilion in the center. The hotel books this pavilion for various parties, and on two of the three nights we stayed there were parties with bands blaring loud music late into the evening. I was told that the music would stop at 11pm, but I am writing this on Saturday night after 11, and the party is still going. I'll call the desk again. (They did stop the music after I called, but I sure do hate feeling like a curmudgeon.) The partyers' vehicles compete for the limited parking spaces available for hotel guests, and the guests are forced to park and directed to yellow curbs on site or remote lots FAR behind the hotel buildings. The partyers' themselves wander down the "motel" walkways with cigars and beer bottles, loudly continuing the party after the music stopped. This hotel provides the Southern Charm of a truck stop, and the owners/managers know it. When I went to the office building to complain, the desk clerk was on the phone apologizing to another guest; she said there had been many other calls. I am sorry we stayed at the Foundry Park Inn.

Wow
Not what I expected at all - such a charming hotel and has a spa and we even went to see a live music show. Best beds in Athens with new down comforters.

Enjoyed our stay
We really enjoyed our stay and have stayed at many hotes in Athens since our son is at UGA.
This has been the best one ever. Came to Athens over football weekend and even thought it was so busy, the staff was fabulous and it was a fun filled time. The pillow top mattress was great and we really loved the Melting Point music show and the game day activities. We will be back!
