Top Riverside Park Hotel Reviews

Wingate Athens

10/10 Excellent

"Great experience"

SpringHill Suites by Marriott Athens Downtown/University Area

10/10 Excellent

"Awesome location to downtown and UGA; spacious room and bathroom for our family of 4. Loved the sitting area too"

Rivet House

10/10 Excellent

"Charming hotel with very friendly staff. Rooms are spacious and spotlessly cleaned. The only drawback I could find was that there isn’t a dresser to put clothing and accessories, but we made it work with the table and chairs in the room. The bar area was very nice and the staff in there was super friendly. Overall a great stay."

Master on Main + 2 Living Rooms I Minutes to Downtown, UGA & Sanford I Sleeps 9

10/10 Excellent

"We rented the home during parents weekend/homecoming. As such, we knew we were going to pay a premium. The house was impeccably clean. The hosts were extremely responsive when we had an issue to work through (which was not their fault). They were courteous, responsive, and very kind to deal with. The home itself is very well taken care of and well furnished. I would definitely recommend it to others. I was very impressed by the hosts themselves as well as the home and the condition it was in."
