Hampton Inn Blue Ridge
Amazing experience overall. The desk worker, he was amazingly nice and kind! The breakfast was spectacular for a free breakfast. A few cleaning issues, but nothing even worth mentioning. I would 100% stay here again. The location to walking downtown is phenomenal!

Reid Ridge Lodge
The room looks fantastic. The best were very comfortable. There was no breakfast to speak of the rooms are in no way soundproof you hear everything from every other room. Bring earplugs. It’s in a great location though.

Amicalola Falls State Park & Lodge
There were not very many units rented in so instead of the full menu, they went to a buffet which we didn’t like.

Forrest Hills Mountain Resort
The staff were extremely helpful in sharing things to do in the area. We only stayed one night and the room was clean and the area was so quiet. We plan on staying here every time we visit Dahlonega!
