Nightmare

We literally left in the middle of the night deciding it was better to.just drive home. We chose to stay at this hotel after a night game at UGA. We waljed into our King Suite to a musty smelling room. Kicked on the air hoping the smell would disapate. It did not. Needed a shower and was greated to a shower full of mold. Corners, ceiling, walls all had mold. We had no body wash, light bulbs missing, and a street light that regardless of the shades being drawn continued to flash lighting up the room. The walls and doors were all super thins so you can hear everything going on outside. The lobby sells snacks and drink, lacked enough stock for the guest staying. I would not ever stay here again nor would we rexommend this place to anyone. We left at 2:30am figuring the 2 hour drive home would at least enable us to get rest once we got into our own bed. Horrible experience.

Liked: Cleanliness
Clean but nothing like pictures. It was dark and most of the outlets didn’t work or were loose (thinking fire hazard). Only one USB port that we had to take turns charging our devices. One small window. We wanted to buy water since only 2 very small bottles in the fridge. My husband went to the lobby to buy them and they were out. The desk clerk asked the manager and she said they were ALL THE WAY in the back and didn’t leave an option to go get them. For over $1,000/ night we expected much more. We won’t be back.

The hotel is severely outdated which I can deal with it was the fact that the room was dirty that was most bothersome. There were cob webs & heavy dust everywhere.

Everything was ok EXCEPT definitely disliked when an elongated "throw pillow" is intentionally placed ON the clean bedsheets (gross) and against the sleeping pillows and at some point I noticed a long black hair (so not mine) before bedtime, and likely from said throw pillow (?)

Property is in a great location and used to be a great option for downtown Athens. But it’s clearly gone downhill under the new ownership. Main issue was that a swarm of ants appeared overnight on the vanity sink counter outside the bathroom. I told staff about it as soon as I saw them that morning and the ants were gone when we came back that evening, but they reappeared overnight on the second night. The room also had no ice bucket room and when I asked for one at the front desk the lady on duty said housekeeping was not on property at the time and she didn’t know how to get me one. I mentioned or the ice bucket the next morning when I reported the ants, but still never got one. Beds were fine although the covers were a bit too short the way they tucked them in. The people I spoke with were all polite, they just didn’t address the issues I brought up. Just sad to see how much this place has fallen off since it was opened as the Foundry. Still has some charm and a lot of potential but it needs some attention.

Average hotel

The room was clean, but the finishes and furnishings were older- the bathroom was tiny. The window air conditioning was set at 66 to keep the room cool… the side of the bed near the ac was cold, but the other side got no air, so it was hot. For the price we paid, I would stay at another hotel next time.

not professional

Rooms are old and need a remodel dirt in the corners of the room. No microwave. Toilet, broken and running the whole time. Accidentally turned the AC on to the heat. And it made a fire. Fire alarm went off. Front desk, clerk, agreed I would check out late however I was awoken by housecleaning. early in the morning. Places ran by a bunch of children. The foundry for food service is closed three days out of each week Not professional. I will never stay there again.
