"Yes, the price and location are great. However, don’t be fooled! This hotel is not maintained well, dirty, and only profitable because of unsuspecting UGA parents such as myself who were enticed by the low price for a game day weekend. Do yourself a favor and pay the higher price to stay somewhere else in Athens or drive 20 minutes to a nearby town. I’ll never stay here again!"
