Top Sanford Stadium Hotel Reviews

Hotel Indigo Athens University Area by IHG

8/10 Good

"The staff was great, and the room was nice- My only complaint was that the Television in the room would not turn on. The front desk gave me new batteries for the remote- but that wasn't the problem. I was too busy to waste time having it addressed."

Best Western Athens

10/10 Excellent

"Staff was great. Clean room. Great location. Stayed here multiple times. Will be back. Go Dawgs"

Iconic Downtown Athens Condo I Sanford Stadium View I 10 Min Walk to Games

10/10 Excellent

"This is an amazing place to stay in the heart of downtown Athens. A totally "Go Dawgs" design with very thoughtful attention to detail. My favorite "extra" - the record player that works and a dozen "classic vinyls" to choose from! It is a duplex so you must be comfortable with stairs but I would happily stay here again! There are shops, restaurants and parking all within easy walking distance."

TAILGATE TERRACE! 2BR, 1 BA Condo-walking distance to downtown Athens & Stadium

10/10 Excellent

"Great location near campus and bikepath. Great thoughtful amenities and extras."

Homewood Suites by Hilton Athens Downtown University Area

10/10 Excellent

"Other than maxed out parking, the staff were very helpful in offering alternative parking options. Very courteous staff. Always attentive. Very clean and comfortable amenities. Would 1000% recommend to stay here"

Walkable to Sanford Stadium or downtown w/ view!

10/10 Excellent

"Walking distance to stadium"

The Bell Athens by Kasa Living

10/10 Excellent

"Amazing place and I would definitely stay here again!"

Classic City Getaway - Walk to Sanford Stadium!

8/10 Good

"This unit is ideal for tailgating weekends and easily accessible to the Stadium and Downtown. Easy to get to off the loop as well. I can imagine how much fun the complex must be full of people for game day. We stayed for 4 nights during the summer for a camp my daughter was doing at UGA. It was super easy to get around and easy location. Super convenient to a ton of restaurants, coffee shops and bars. It is an older complex not a lot of daylight in the unit, so if you are planning on staying in, just know it doesn't have a cozy, warm, well lit feel. Since we were staying for the week, we planned to cook and eat in. It wasn't really intended for that. But I would recommend for game weekends when you are out and about. Beds were comfortable.."

Closest condo to Sanford Stadium with parking 2 tenths of a mile

10/10 Excellent
