Top Bear Hollow Zoo Hotel Reviews

Quality Inn & Suites Athens University Area

10/10 Excellent

"Room was very clean. The cleaning staff was very nice! Front desk agent at check out was so sweet!!! We will be back"

Best Western Athens

8/10 Good

"Enjoyed my stay had a few issues with the room itself. Fridge made a continuous knocking sound all night long, the a/c was sounded like it was on its last leg and loudly all night long, the door in the bathroom to the toilet and shower was broken at the bottom and we kept getting stuck in the bathroom. Room was very clean, and super comfortable beds. The other areas did seem well up-kept though. Staff was friendly and helpful. Parking and area felt safe and secure. All in all worth what I paid. Oh and the breakfast incredible!!"

Low Country Dawg House Stunning Walking Trails!

8/10 Good

"It's a good, basic place to stay. Nothing fancy. Positives: It's spacious, clean, nice kitchen, one really nice mattress. Furniture is mostly second-hand or family hand-me-downs. It's one apartment in a building of 18 units or so. Seems to be a place where the owner drops in and out as there were a good many personal items around. It was fine."
