Front desk personnel, as well as housekeeping, exceptionally competent and courteous. As you could tell, especially a week after graduation, this location is used hard all year. The beds and linens were fresh as well as the pillows. Towels were somewhat smallish and a little "light". Really convenient location for most. Would stay here again, but also investigate the Spring... More

We stayed at this hotel the night of April 26, 2013 for a UGA event. The customer service was outstanding -- we needed a late checkout the next day, and it was readily provided. The hotel is beautiful and a great value. The lobby/ Bistro area is very inviting -- enjoyed a quick breakfast there and just relaxed and read... More

Stacy G ~ Thank you for such a fabulous review! We are thrilled that you liked the hotel and enjoyed breakfast. We’d love for you to return and make use of the pool this summer and enjoy a refreshing beverage on the veranda. We were so excited to add a swing to the veranda and to bring out the hanging... More

As others have noted this is a well-run, clean hotel with a responsive and friendly staff. It is close to downtown and UGa. If you have need for handicapped facilities be sure to park at the front. The back entrance has a very tight ramp and no handicapped parking near it..so, if you have a non-handicapped room, but need handicapped... More

GraceRays ~ Thank you for your very insightful review and for staying with us. I apologize that the wheelchair accessible ramp that was put in a few years ago wasn’t easier to navigate. I can see where it would be difficult if a wheelchair wasn’t used for someone with difficulties walking. I’ve shared this information to see if there are... More

Hotel is clean, comfortable and quiet. Staff all excellent and friendly. Rooms are comfortable. Food menu is a little sparse, but good quality.... not a problem as there are many eateries within short walking distance. I stayed here for two weeks on business. Would definitely stay again, even though I can use a more expensive hotel. Free wifi. Free parking.... More

You covered a lot of great areas in your review that other guests will find helpful. We do have several college students who work in our Bistro and Front Desk and it still amazes me the wealth...

Great location. Was able to walk to our event across the street at the Classic Center as well as walk around downtown Athens. Perfect for visiting UGA since it is near north campus which houses the admissions office. Efficient front desk staff. Has a hot / cold breakfast buffet in the morning and bar in the evening. Deck parking. Nice,... More

OneHappyFamily1 ~ What a great name, it makes me smile just reading it! I believe you may have reviewed the wrong hotel. The Courtyard by Marriott in Athens isn’t across the street from the Classic Center and we don’t offer a buffet although we do have a fabulous bar. I’m sure the hotel you’re referring to would love to see... More

Had to travel to a small city outside Atlanta, GA due to a death in the family. Not wanting to stay in Atlanta and fight the interstate traffic we chose to stay in Athens, GA which was only a 30 minute drive from Monroe, GA. We found Courtyard by Marriott on the internet and price was great. Because of funeral... More

My wife and I stayed here for a night while visiting our son at UGA. The rooms are comfortable and clean. The only interaction was at check and the employee was friendly and efficient.

The downtown Marriott is a great hotel for visiting Athens, Georgia. Our room (with a double bed) was spacious. The hotel added a microwave at our request. The location is within walking distance of the University of Georgia. There is a Starbucks on site. The staff was very helpful.

My fiance and I stayed here a few weekends ago. The hotel was very nice - clean, spacious, had free wi-fi, and the staff were very friendly and helpful. There was honestly nothing too memorable about the hotel (either good or bad). It was certainly not a high luxury hotel, but made for a very pleasant stay.
