1. The Rushmore

Five Points, 0.5 mi from University of Georgia

"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"

Top University of Georgia Hotel Reviews

Homewood Suites by Hilton Athens Downtown University Area

10/10 Excellent

"Clean, comfortable and within walking distance to restaurants, shops and the stadium."

Holiday Inn Express Athens by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"Close to 40 watt"

Country Inn & Suites by Radisson, Athens, GA

8/10 Good

"For the price, this is a good stay. Staff was friendly and room was spacious. This place needs a touch up and repairs. I would stay here again."

Best Western Athens

8/10 Good

"Parking was easy, clerk was friendly and quickly got us checked in with no problems"

Hotel Indigo Athens University Area by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"Our weekend at Hotel Indigo for the UGA vs. Oklahoma game was perfect. From the moment we arrived, they provided an entire top-notch "game-day" experience. After a long drive, it was really nice to be greeted (unexpectedly) with a complimentary cocktail hour and live entertainment on the patio. Each morning, we had a very nice breakfast included with our reservation. Sanford Stadium was easily walkable through N. Campus. When making reservations for game-day weekend, all of the hotels were outrageously expensive. However, I am really glad we selected Hotel Indigo and will definitely stay here again."

"We had a very nice stay for our son’s parents weekend and football game. It was extremely clean, and an excellent location. April was very responsive. I would definitely stay here again!"

The Rushmore

10/10 Excellent

"Wow! We loved our stay. Our room, the Blythe Suite, was steps from breakfast (quiche, scones, yogurt, mimosas). Despite being in a popular , noisy location, the sound machine and black out shades took care of that. We stayed on a football game weekend and paid about three times the normal rate and we still loved it. You can walk to wonderful restaurants, bars , and the stadium."

"Enjoyed our stay. Great location at a decent price"
