Top Downtown Athens Hotel Reviews

Fairfield by Marriott Inn & Suites Athens-University Area

10/10 Excellent

"Nice place"

Quality Inn & Suites Athens University Area

10/10 Excellent

"Great place! Great staff. It's our go-to. When we go to Athens we have a student that attends UGA so we are there often and the family travels often. It's centrally located worth every penny. Very clean. Only kicker is they have double beds instead of queen beds in the two bedrooms. But besides that love the place and we'll always go back"

Comfort Inn & Suites Athens North

10/10 Excellent

"We usually prefer to stay at nicer hotels, however we were visiting family nearby and saw the good ratings and comments on this Comfort Inn. It was excellent!! The beds were extremely comfortable, The complimentary breakfast was as nice as most nice hotels. And the staff was very helpful and friendly."
