The Graduate Athens is convenient to downtown Athens and the North Campus of UGA. It is less convenient to the South Campus. The hotel is a modern hotel in repurposed buildings.
Recently stayed at Graduate Nashville and I guess the bar was set too high. Room door opens directly outside so felt more like a motel. No elevator so had to haul luggage up stairs but it was only one flight. Good location in walking distance, but had I known what I know now, I probably would’ve selected the Hyatt or somewhere else.
Our stay was pleasant. Any concerns we had were immediately addressed by the friendly staff. The room was safe and conveniently located close to restaurants and pubs. Would have liked better movie and regular TV channels that didn't pause to stream every few minutes. But overall our stay was very nice.
