2. The Rushmore

Five Points, 1.5 km from Bear Hollow Zoo

"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"

"Really nice for the price. Easy check in."

Low Country Dawg House Stunning Walking Trails!

8/10 Good

"It's a good, basic place to stay. Nothing fancy. Positives: It's spacious, clean, nice kitchen, one really nice mattress. Furniture is mostly second-hand or family hand-me-downs. It's one apartment in a building of 18 units or so. Seems to be a place where the owner drops in and out as there were a good many personal items around. It was fine."
