Their breakfast and the staff made this place the best that we have stayed at. My husband dropped the milk and the staff that helps serve the breakfast that was great were so very kind in getting the mess off the floor. One lady said she had a vision problem herself. She had such a loving heart. Also the day manager was fabulous. He helped us extend our stay and also helped with many other things we asked of him. He also put a smile on our face!

I had a great stay at this hotel as it is at an extremely convenient location to UGA, this hotel gave me a perfect midway point to look for apartments to rent around UGA and downtown area. There are many fast-food joints near downtown which you can walk from this hotel. They do charge a hold of $60/day and a parking fee of 10$/day just fyi. The highlight of this hotel is its cleaniness of its rooms and how dedicated the clean staff is at their job when it comes to housekeeping. The complimentary continental breakfast is average, but I overall rank my stay 5/5 here.

Ok

Our stay was good. But I think booking was misleading regarding what your nightly rate was and incidental charges that you are going to also going to half to put deposit down for when you check in. I think when you book from a 3rd party you should be informed of all issues regarding what u are paying for. It seems property and reservations need to be on same page. Which they were not
