The University of Georgia Center for Continuing Education & Hotel

8/10 Good

"X"

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."
