Good Spot for UGA games

We were only there for one night, but the front desk staff was friendly, and the room was clean and comfortable. There is an onsite restaurant but there are about 3 things on the menu for dinner; it's definitely more of a bar.

OK but not my favorite

I’ve stayed here twice, and it’s definitely a vibe. They’re going for quirky but it’s just not for me. Both times I’ve stayed, the rooms felt damp and musty. It’s very bare bones in terms of amenities. The decor is fun but also a little creepy. Decorating the dresser by lining it with old portraits is certainly a choice.

This wasn’t a hotel. It was a motel, with all the issues related to a motel. The room smelled of mildew and was filled with insects. The room was not scrupulously clean and the bedding felt damp to the touch. It was a huge disappointment.

The property was fine from the outside and a cute little lobby. The rooms on the other hand were another story. Several rooms I popped in and they all smelled disgusting. Musty and like dirty feet. I complained, but there was nothing they can do about it several other people were complaining about The cleanliness and the smell as well. The breakfast was not good. Waffles were disgusting at the coffee bar. They were out of half-and-half and the syrups for the coffee lattes were not very good. The eggs were gross. I would not recommend this hotel at all. We got a discount for a UGA game at $350 but the other people that were complaining paid directly through the hotel close to $600. I wouldn’t pay $$50 to stay here. It’s like a motel.
