Hotel Indigo Athens University Area by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"KT"

Hyatt Place Athens/Downtown

8/10 Good

"We were on a spontaneous weekend getaway from our home in SC on 9/5/26. A little shocked at the room price but figured it was because we booked it last minute. Nope - we paid nearly 2x the normal rate because it was the night of the home opener for Georgia. Not being college football fans, we were completely unaware that was even happening. Believe me, it won't happen again. The hotel itself was nice - bed was comfortable, room clean, breakfast in the morning was very good. Though the elevators are a joke and half the downstairs appears to be under construction, it was still ok. But the chaos that the football fans bring in is unreal. We were kept awake until almost 4 am by racing car engines, yelling drunk people and incredibly loud emergency vehicles. There were half-used drink cups left everywhere as if they were waiting for Mommy to come pick up after them. I'd blame the kids for being unruly and messy but then I'd have to look past their parents stumbling around on their 5th margarita each trying to relive their glory days through their spoiled-rotten entitled brats. All looking at us like we were Martians for not wearing GA gear. Not to mention the vaunted music scene was nowhere to be found as most venues don't book live music on game nights. We had a couple good meals at restaurants but honestly couldn't wait to get out of there. I'm sure if you're a Bulldogs fan, it's heaven, but y'all have a new name from the rest of us - Ath-holes."
