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

This hotel serves its purpose. It’s very basic but does include a decent breakfast. The commons area is nice and has a couple of TVs but no bar area to enjoy a cocktail. Also, the staff is professional but not overly friendly.

Great location, in walking proximity of lots of stores and restaurants. The building itself isn't the newest however it was pretty well maintained and clean. You do have to pay $10/day for parking at a separate cost from the room. Jabree, who is a part of the hospitality staff was downstairs every morning I was there for breakfast. She was extremely attentive and professional. Making sure everyone had everything they needed and the food was constantly fresh and replenished.

Average hotel…not worth what we paid for the night but it was move in weekend at UGA so all the prices were high. Room had an air freshener in the AC unit that I did not care for. Front desk girl was not the friendliest when we checked in. Good breakfast selection. Don’t understand why you have to pay for parking.
