Top Sanford Stadium Hotel Reviews

Rivet House

10/10 Excellent

"Great ambience and atmosphere! Very comfortable bedding!"

The Bell Athens by Kasa Living

10/10 Excellent

"Hands down the best Boutique Hotel we have stayed at in years. Everything about this hotel was 10 out of 10. Comfortable, clean, cool vibe, location, parking, Roof Deck, Free drinks/snacks/coffee. I would highly recommend. The only negatives were the online check-in felt a bit overly complicated for a one night stay (similar to some VRBO property managers for weekly/monthly stays) and street noise was annoying."

Walkable to Sanford Stadium or downtown w/ view!

10/10 Excellent

"The host was responsive and helpful whenever I messaged them. The apartment was perfect for what I needed, near the Classic Center and comfortable. Upgraded finishes thru most of the apartment and still not crowded. For future renters, this is a second-story walk-up - there is no elevator, which could be important for people with a handicap."

Classic City Getaway - Walk to Sanford Stadium!

8/10 Good

"This unit is ideal for tailgating weekends and easily accessible to the Stadium and Downtown. Easy to get to off the loop as well. I can imagine how much fun the complex must be full of people for game day. We stayed for 4 nights during the summer for a camp my daughter was doing at UGA. It was super easy to get around and easy location. Super convenient to a ton of restaurants, coffee shops and bars. It is an older complex not a lot of daylight in the unit, so if you are planning on staying in, just know it doesn't have a cozy, warm, well lit feel. Since we were staying for the week, we planned to cook and eat in. It wasn't really intended for that. But I would recommend for game weekends when you are out and about. Beds were comfortable.."
