The University of Georgia Center for Continuing Education & Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"The location and pricing of the hotel was stellar. The rooms were clean and I would stay there again."

SpringHill Suites by Marriott Athens West

10/10 Excellent

"We stayed here due to a family wedding at Hadden Estate. The room was clean and the bed was very comfortable. The floor plan of the king suite was perfect. The air conditioner was wonderful and the outside surroundings were pleasant and very quiet. Chloe and Chelsea were very cordial and nice as could be with excellent customer service skills. We will definitely return to the SpringHill Suites whenever we are in the area. Thank you so much!😊"

Lux and Spacious - King Beds, Chefs Kitchen, Fire Pit, Fast WiFi & Near UGA!

10/10 Excellent

"The MOST AMAZING home away from home! Billy was an amazing host and this townhome was a dream. The property and development was really well maintained with shops and restaurants just a few feet from the unit. Will definitely be back!"

13 mins to Downtwn & Stadium - Game Room - Game Day

8/10 Good

"House checked the box for a quick overnight stay. I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 because of linens. NO linens provided for sofa bed or rollaway. Some of the beds didn’t have real sleeping pillows either only small decorative ones. If owner beefed up the linen situation it would have been a much better stay. Needed more towels as well. Messaged about needing more linens and received no response back."

Charming Duplex: 12 Mi to UGA & Sanford Stadium!

10/10 Excellent

"Everything about this charming duplex was perfect. From the cleanliness of the linens that smelled so fresh to the complimentary eggs and honey! We couldn’t have asked for anything better. If we ever find ourselves back in Athens, we will certainly stay here."
