1. The Rushmore

Five Points, 2.5 km from Classic Center

"It's a very well maintained property, very clean and neat. Amenities (breakfast, snacks, soda, water, beer, wine) are great and staff extremely nice (and available). Room (Ivey) was just what we needed, retro decoration, nice bed, large bathroom. Location is great (S. Milledge). Close to University (walkable), can walk to several restaurants and close to sororities/fraternities, but not within hearing distance. Would highly recommend for an upper scale visit to Athens or UGA"

"The only issue with our stay was the wifi. It was SUPER spotty and made it very difficult to work or watch tv. Other than that, the property was great. The kitchen was very well stocked. The beds were comfortable and each room having its own bathroom was really nice. Seating for two was a little problematic but not a big deal overall."
