I was in Athens for one night and I ended up staying at the Holiday Inn in downtown. The desk agent by the name of Lauren was very helpful and is an outstandning agent. The room is ok but the beds are comfortable! During my stay I did not get a chance to eat at Redfearn but the restaraunt looks... More

During my first visit to Athens, I spent 2 nights at this hotel. I found the location to be convenient to the UGA campus for a graduation, but on the other hand, I am sure there are better choices. I just don't know the area well enough to know them. Most hotels were booked solid during graduation weekend, so this... More

We managed to secure the last room in the hotel last night. For a small king bed room it was $185. That is twice what we paid at a Holiday Inn Express the night before. First, I think the room rate was increased significantly because it was the last one which is absolute usury. Second, I can't imagine now after... More

I was upgraded to the Executive Tower - Ha ha ha.....The "executive suite" room was dirty and smelly of that old stale hotel room without operable windows. Heading into the bathroom I was shocked to find that housekeeping missed this one and left me a nice hairy soap bar in the shower - GROSS....Once in the shower the head was... More

A good hotel in the Holiday Inn tradition right on the edge of the University campus! Spacious rooms, good public space, a decent restaurant and a pleasant staff make this an ideal location for a weekend in Athens. The room rates are modest. The restaurant provides a full breakfast menu and a decent dinner menu with some interesting specials scattered... More

For proximity to everything in downtown Athens, you can't beat the location. As importantly, the rooms were clean, comfortable and well-maintained, and the front desk staff was as friendly and helpful as can be. Even the little things (e.g., the need for an extra safety pin) were taken care of. We also enjoyed the pool and adjoining small courtyard.

The hotel room and lobby decor were fine, nothing special but clean. Parking was hard as some travelers with large trailers were parked across multiple spots. A block or two from downtown and not far from the university too. We didn't pick the hotel based on indoor pool, but my kids were super excited when we saw that was available.... More

The entire stay was told of a noice complaint. We were sleeping at the time. We were alerted of the complaints on three different occasions; two of which were at 2 am. The room wasn't very clean.
