2. The Rushmore

Five Points, 1.5 km from Bear Hollow Zoo

"It's a very well maintained property, very clean and neat. Amenities (breakfast, snacks, soda, water, beer, wine) are great and staff extremely nice (and available). Room (Ivey) was just what we needed, retro decoration, nice bed, large bathroom. Location is great (S. Milledge). Close to University (walkable), can walk to several restaurants and close to sororities/fraternities, but not within hearing distance. Would highly recommend for an upper scale visit to Athens or UGA"

Best Western Athens

8/10 Good

"Parking was easy, clerk was friendly and quickly got us checked in with no problems"

Country Inn & Suites by Radisson, Athens, GA

8/10 Good

"The carpet throughout needs to be stretched or replaced. Trip hazard all over. Otherwise cute hotel with lots of character. Would def stay again"

The Rushmore

10/10 Excellent

"Wow! We loved our stay. Our room, the Blythe Suite, was steps from breakfast (quiche, scones, yogurt, mimosas). Despite being in a popular , noisy location, the sound machine and black out shades took care of that. We stayed on a football game weekend and paid about three times the normal rate and we still loved it. You can walk to wonderful restaurants, bars , and the stadium."

Low Country Dawg House Stunning Walking Trails!

8/10 Good

"It's a good, basic place to stay. Nothing fancy. Positives: It's spacious, clean, nice kitchen, one really nice mattress. Furniture is mostly second-hand or family hand-me-downs. It's one apartment in a building of 18 units or so. Seems to be a place where the owner drops in and out as there were a good many personal items around. It was fine."
