"It's a very well maintained property, very clean and neat. Amenities (breakfast, snacks, soda, water, beer, wine) are great and staff extremely nice (and available). Room (Ivey) was just what we needed, retro decoration, nice bed, large bathroom. Location is great (S. Milledge). Close to University (walkable), can walk to several restaurants and close to sororities/fraternities, but not within hearing distance. Would highly recommend for an upper scale visit to Athens or UGA"

Top Bell Lake Hotel Reviews

SpringHill Suites by Marriott Athens West

8/10 Good

"Check-in took about 20 minutes, and I wasn’t able to check out in person. On my last day, I waited at the front desk for over 10 minutes while I could hear an employee talking with coworkers in the back office. Another employee walked past without acknowledging me, so I eventually left. The room was great and quiet, the bed was comfortable, and breakfast was good. The staff members I did interact with were friendly. The fitness room, however, was very small and had only treadmills or bikes, with no weights. Overall, the stay was good, but the lack of attention at the front desk would probably keep me from returning."

Quality Inn & Suites Athens University Area

10/10 Excellent

"Really nice for the price. Easy check in."

The Colonels B&B and Inn

10/10 Excellent

"Our host, the Colonel was delightful, he explained the history of the house, his love of horses, the beautiful period furniture and how he came to chose this beautiful home for his B&B. Our room was beautiful. Breakfast was great. The location was perfect for a quiet getaway with easy trip into Athens. We highly recommend!"
