"UGA hotel with new rooms, hot breakfast, free parking."
Overall Score4.0/ 5
This Best Western just opened a new tower [interior corridors] located in the front of the property. The new tower is very clean, spacious and has a pool. The older rooms with exterior corridors are still available as well. **The group could be split between the two buildings** Your rate includes hot breakfast, parking and wi fi. The hotel is right across from The Varsity restaurant and less than a mile from UGA and downtown.

Our second stay at this hotel. We come in the night before to babysit the two year old granddaughter. We are well rested, have a lovely breakfast and ready for our day.

"Phone not working, noise level not acceptable, dead cockroach under sink"
Overall Score2.0/ 5
Dead cockroach under the sink and the young man at the front desk was not helpful at all on Thursday! Poor customer service. However, the next young man was very helpful and friendly. I have never had this kind of experience before!

My stay at the Best Western in Athens,GA was just right. The man at the desk was both warm and friendly and recommended a perfect place to grab a relaxing dinner. My room was clean and the bed was very comfortable.
