"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"

8/10 Good

"Great people and nice location"

The University of Georgia Center for Continuing Education & Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"The room was small, but in good condition. As an alumni, I loved the decor in the room and hotel. It was also nice to have a refrigerator and microwave on the room. The amenities were also great! I loved the shuttle I was able to take to get dinner downtown. My room also came with breakfast that was surprisingly tasty and free parking."
