    Hands down the best Boutique Hotel we have stayed at in years. Everything about this hotel was 10 out of 10. Comfortable, clean, cool vibe, location, parking, Roof Deck, Free drinks/snacks/coffee. I would highly recommend. The only negatives were the online check-in felt a bit overly complicated for a one night stay (similar to some VRBO property managers for weekly/monthly stays) and street noise was annoying.

    Such a charming hidden gem in downtown Athens! I stayed for one night while traveling for work and was impressed by how thoughtfully designed the property is. It has so much personality and feels both stylish and comfortable. The onsite manager, Neil, was wonderful and made the stay feel especially welcoming. I really enjoyed chatting with him! The location is also hard to beat—within walking distance of restaurants, shops, downtown Athens, and the UGA campus. It is a great option for anyone visiting the university, traveling for work, or looking for a unique place to stay in Athens. I would absolutely return!
