"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 Oconee County Welcome Center Hotel Reviews

The University of Georgia Center for Continuing Education & Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Overnight for event, great service, shuttle to event, breakfast vouchers for the next morning, very clean, would recommend"

SpringHill Suites by Marriott Athens West

8/10 Good

"Check-in took about 20 minutes, and I wasn’t able to check out in person. On my last day, I waited at the front desk for over 10 minutes while I could hear an employee talking with coworkers in the back office. Another employee walked past without acknowledging me, so I eventually left. The room was great and quiet, the bed was comfortable, and breakfast was good. The staff members I did interact with were friendly. The fitness room, however, was very small and had only treadmills or bikes, with no weights. Overall, the stay was good, but the lack of attention at the front desk would probably keep me from returning."

Quality Inn & Suites Athens University Area

10/10 Excellent

"Really nice for the price. Easy check in."

Lavender Hill Bed & Breakfast

10/10 Excellent

"This B&B is a quaint bungalow with spacious rooms, high ceilings and comfortable beds. You can even enjoy your morning coffee or evening drinks on the cozy front porch. Owner/host was most accommodating! Highly recommend! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️"
