Dirty hotel
Room was extremely dirty. Floors hadn’t been mopped in months. Stains on walls. Iron board broke. NO COMFORTER, just two flat sheets on bed. No container for ice machine, no coffee cups, coffee or coffee maker. Air conditioner was so loud, sounded like it had loud bass to it. Overall it was very dirty and not worth $1,000 for ONE NIGHT during a Georgia home game. Never will be back there.

It's an option
Pros: The front desk staff was friendly & efficient, check-in was quick, the elevators ran smoothly, room was quiet, walkable distance to UGA without the price-gouging of city center. Cons: The pool/spa was closed (permanently), our room wasn't the cleanest, breakfast was sorely lacking, the person managing the food area was filing her nails over the buffet, so we skipped the underwhelming breakfast options.

I arrived Thursday evening Oct. 10 to discover that by mistake my reservation was for Thursday night the following week. The evening desk clerk made a call and quickly arranged a room for me for the night and it was a perfect room with a parking space right in front of it. I'm very thankful for the desk clerk helping to resolve the situation so quickly and well. I'll be staying at Best Western when visiting Athens from now on.
