The hotel is cute and clean and close to everything. I would give it five out of five stars for everything with one exception: There was a law school reunion last night that went until almost midnight and disrupted the entire hotel. Having spent the weekend burying my mother in law, we were emotionally and physically exhausted, and had I known there was going to be a loud band, literally shaking the building into the evening we would not have stayed here. I would call and ask if there are any special events going on prior to staying. We also almost had nowhere to park despite paying for secure parking. We got the last spot last night. Not sure what happens or where you park when that happens as all the lots around are by permit only.

The property was really nice and clean. The covered outside was really pretty. Great location. Front desk was really nice. My only complaint would be I came down at 11am and there is no coffee service or any place to buy coffee or drinks in hotel after morning. But overall we really loved it.

I visited Athens as I used to live here years ago. Visited with friends and went to pay my respect to my late husband at Oconee Hill Cemetery The stay was great. I was disappointed there was no pool. Also, the shower did not have a fan which I found surprising. Otherwise was very good
