Holiday Inn Express Athens by IHG
"The building looked like a prison on the outside. They kept it locked, which made me believe the area was full of thieves and I wasn’t comfortable at all. I ended up leaving one day early and I wouldn’t recommend that dump to anyone and $180 was a rip off."

"Great location especially if navigating around the UGA campus. Parking was a little confusing but the lot attendant was very helpful. Room was very small, but just enough space for sleeping and relaxing. I would def stay again and try one of the larger rooms next time."
