As other reviewers have said, remember to read all the reviews before you book a room. Our room was in an older part of the hotel that really was a very run down motel. We had roaches, we had issue with the shower, not enough paper products, it was noisy, the fire alarm went off for no reason. It is... More

We had tickets to the UGA gymnastics meet and decided to stay the night. We booked the Holiday Inn and it was wonderful. Our room, in the North Tower, was delightful and the beds were very comfy! They have a restaurant and we ate both dinner and breakfast there. All the food was good and fresh. The only negative thing... More

We always stay here because it is such a great location and they are pet friendly. This will probably be our last time here. The staff was very pleasant. We went to check in at 3pm and the room was not available yet. Requested a ground floor non smoking room. Was told the 2nd floor smoking room was our only... More

There is nothing overly wonderful about the Holiday Inn, but sometimes you just want a room that gives you no complaints. That is pretty much what the Holiday Inn in Athens does for you.

We've stayed at the Hilton, and Hampton Inn in Athens. This is by far the best yet. The locations is perfect, the rooms immaculate, the staff....so pleasant and helpful. Had breakfast in the restaurant on location. We were more than pleased. Holiday Inn Athens - University Area will be our first choice for future trips to Athens.

The hotel is at Athens best location. University campus is too good to take refreshing walk in evening. Being fond of Indian food, I loved The Indian Restaurant which just in front of the Hotel. you can find a nice crowd in evenings till night nearby.

The hotel has a wonderful location and has been recently updated. Very nice considering the age of the hotel. The buffet breakfast was average.
