Days Inn by Wyndham Dahlonega University Area

8/10 Good
"worst part of this visit was the man behind the counter. Not caring and very dismissive. Seemed to have a negative attitude towards women as he did not treat the women in my party with much respect or attentiveness at all. What little he did for me was borderline rude. If just for him, this would be rated at 2 star or less... The saving grace was the cleaning staff and the daytime desk person. Extremely attentive and noted that members of my group were accessibility challenged. She then asked if we wanted one of our rooms moved to the ground floor as there was no elevator. This was a HUGE benefit for my group as stairs are challenging for our group. The cleaning staff was amazing! Tomy was extremely attentive and approachable. She and her partner moved everything for my party from the second floor room to the ground floor room placing everything in the exact same spots. So friendly and helpful, by far the best part of our stay."

Frequently asked questions

When is the best time to go to Downtown Gainesville?
The best time to go to Downtown Gainesville is during the spring (March to May) and autumn (September to November) months.

During these periods, the weather is pleasantly mild, with comfortable temperatures ideal for exploring the historic streets and enjoying outdoor activities. Spring brings blooming flowers and a generally refreshing atmosphere, while autumn offers beautiful foliage and crisp air. Both seasons are superb for walking around the Gainesville Square, visiting the local shops, and dining al fresco.

For those looking to avoid the heat and humidity, these shoulder seasons are particularly appealing. The summer months can be quite warm and muggy, which might make extended outdoor exploration less comfortable.
