Hilton Garden Inn Athens Downtown

Hotel was great, clean, nice big comfy king bed, warm covers, huge room, very quiet. Loved the shower amenities in big bottles mounted in the shower. Yet another one with body lotion attached to wall by sink. My only complaint would be having to park across the lot in a parking ramp, but considering the location of the hotel, they had no choice. I could have done without the daily parking fee though. Also the extremely high price they charge for a bottle of water. But again, when you consider the whole of the experience, everything was worth it. I would definitely recommend to anyone & will be staying there on our next trip. P.S. You can always buy your own water elsewhere & bring it with you

I must first call attention to the incredible manager Kevin. He did everything possible to accommodate all of the guests. He isn’t a miracle worker. But it is corporate that needs to fix this very run down neglected hotel . The room was very old, paint chipped, carpet filthy, towels thin and bare. The house keeping did their best with what they have on a crowded no football weekend. We will not return.

I booked my reservation for 2 nughts at $175 a night. When I got my bill the first night was $175, BUT the 2nd night was $280. My reservation was clearly for $175 a night. I am even a Diamond member, and I essentially was told too bad. I am cancelling my Hilton Honors and NEVER staying at a Hilton Property again!!!!!!

This is the first (and probably last) Hilton Garden Inn I have every stayed in. Any Hampton Inn is just as nice and a much better value. The pros: it's clean; the morning coffee is great. The wi-fi is excellent, and you stay connected without having to log in again for your entire stay. The cons: it's on a noisy street. Make that a very noisy street. Saturday night there was one police/fire/ambulance after another wailing past; then between 1 and 2 in the morning motorcycles gunning their engines where having a whale of a time just outside the hotel. There is no daily service. There is no make-up mirror in the room. As a note--this was a weekend that there was no home game at the University. I cannot imagine what the noise factor is then!

Upon arrival, the staff was very welcoming. Room was clean & spacious. Easy walk to the stadium. Parking was easy. No complaints. I have stayed here multiple times. Would absolutely stay here again in the future.

I would not recommend this hotel to travelers. I’ve stayed there many times over the past years but it continues to get worse. I tried to get my stay attached to my Hilton Honors account, but since I booked through a 3rd party it wasn’t possible. I was hoping to get a survey to give feedback on my stay but despite a call to the hotel to get my folio (which never arrived) I couldn’t. I arrived late but my room was ready and the late night desk manager was quick to check me in and let me get some water. So, I thought it would be a good stay. Unfortunately, it wasn’t. About every 20-30 minutes the refrigerator kept making a loud grinding sound, but again it was late so I didn’t want to have to move rooms at that hour. Thankfully, I was able to get to sleep. It woke me up several times over the night. When I work up, I went to take a shower and found several long hairs in the shower. I wiped them all off, and then proceeded to take a shower. The shower backed up horribly. I thought the stopper may have been up, but it wasn’t. The drains were just that bad. It almost felt unsanitary to have the water stagnant so much during my shower. I was out by 7:45 am, and though I wanted to report it to the desk, the person was occupied (again there was just one person) so I couldn’t speak with her. There are too many other good options in the area at the same price point to stay there.
