Holiday Inn Express & Suites Gainesville - Lake Lanier Area by IHG

Gainesville

10/10 Excellent

Kristy

A room with a blue sofa set, a round coffee table, and a patterned rug.

The Dahlonega Square Hotel

Downtown Dahlonega

10/10 Excellent

Fantastic hotel, right in the center of town....30 seconds walk to the nearest pub....30 seconds past that and you are in the main square. Hotel looks traditional from the outside but has many modern touches within such as iPads in reception and electric charging stations for cars. Rooms were modern without completely going against the overall ethos of the building. Clean, welcoming....would totally recommend!

The Smith House

Downtown Dahlonega

10/10 Excellent

Beautiful property, the rooms were very clean and communication with owners was awesome. It has minor issues being an old building which didn't affect my stay, such as some noisy floors under the carpet, and the fact that it does not have an elevator. But we loved the stay, this hotel makes you feel part of the town history. My oldest kids found it great to stay here. We loved Dahlonega and will definutely visit again.
