Everything

Hotel was shut down due to being sold and not informed

It was closed

The hotel closed without notifying anyone with pending reservations.

See above

This hotel closed ours doors on February 10 2026 and did not notify anyone. My wife saw a l small banner on their website that said it will be closing on 10 February. She called and was told we would get a refund but they are not honoring our stay. So they were going to let us show up to a closed hotel on a sold out weekend in Athens. Thanks for looking out. News reports said they are making dorm style apartments.

Walking distance to arena. Nice pool. Water pressure great. Great parking.

Small fridge. No microwave. No free breakfast, limited pay for breakfast options.

The pavillion, the quietness at night, the bustle of downtown during the evening and the home-like feel of the sitting area.

I believed that I had booked the room that I wanted but found out at the desk that I had not and it was essential to have the sitting area. So I had to pay an additional $75 for the sitting area on site. It was not the Deluxe Suite that I reserved but actually the Grande Suite I was told.

Nothing

Place was run down horrible

The room was musty. The shower was dirty. Rugs had big stains on them.

the cleanliness and state of the rooms were not what they used to be.

Location, front desk lady, eclectic vibe.

设施肯定不是4星级，2星比较符合。

Eclectic cute decor! Very comfortable bed.

Love the closeness to the University of Georgia. The staff was lovely.

The location is excellent. The staff person on our day of checkout was very kind and helpful.

The staff member at check-in was not friendly at all. The air conditioning did not cool the room effectively. That is the second time we’ve had that experience. And the air-conditioning is very loud.

Property was great for walking all over downtown Athens!

Few minor issues! Wish staff shared info after check-in. Heard from hotel many times (via email/text) before stay, but nothing after arrival. For example, we were told we would get a text to ask housekeeping for things since not regular cleaning, but we never did have a text. Also, we called hotel direct to ask about active military rates when comparing all online (hotel/booking sites) and told did not offer. When we checked at the hotel, they said they did offer government rates. But overall good!

The lobby was cozy and inviting. They had a cute coffee/bakery attached. The rooms are updated and comfortable. Make sure you take a picture of the WiFi password while in the lobby. It was not posted in the room.

The only slightly negative thing would be the parking. The spots and drive through areas are very small!

Good location; nicely decorated rooms

Charging for parking is rather unusual for a motel style hotel

We were coming in to town to stay for a wedding and called that afternoon to request an hour early check in to shower beforehand since check in is at 4PM and the wedding began at 5PM. We were informed it would be an extra $75 to check in any amount of time before 4PM which is over half the value of a one night at the hotel so we passed and decided to just shower quickly. It was very disappointing to enter the hotel room after our long day of travel and find that there was only one towel provided and the shampoo in the shower was completely empty with no time to rectify this situation. In a room with a King sized bed and a booking made for two people it should be assumed that more than one towel will be needed upon arrival. We took our mediocre shampoo-less shower and my boyfriend ended up having to use hand towels to dry himself. Not an experience reflective of a luxurious hotel. Besides our issues with the strict check in rules and amenities we also found out after arriving that parking would cost us extra even though the hotel owns a lot on the property. This was not disclosed at the time of booking and seemed like yet another way for the hotel to squeeze out just a little more profit from our stay.

Decorated very well

No towels or towel rack near the sink

It was Parent’s Weekend, so the place was packed. Our room smells like mildew/moisture - bad enough that you’re hoping the smell doesn’t get on your belongings. There wasn’t proper ventilation in the bathroom, so this seemed to be a cause. The location is wonderful, but we won’t be staying here again.

Das Bett.

Das Bad!

The location was close to downtown,

When I walked in the AC was running which was good. The room had a smell. The bed was below par. In my opinion it need to be replaced. Sunk down where most people would sit on the edge. The TV/Cable was bad. There was NO listing of channels. I had to call front desk to get a list. Oh, we can email you the list. Why not give it to me at check in.

Whoever said the place smelled like mold and mildew needs to get their senses checked, because all I smelled when I checked in was the cleaning products they use. I loved my stay at this place--from the chemical formula for Sweet Tea on a blackboard in my room, to the chill and friendly staff. The only thing I'd complain about is the shower chair in my room (I stayed in an accessible King suite). That poor thing needs to be replaced, because it looked pretty beat to hell.

Great

Clean, affordable, walking distance to dining and night life.

Great hotel. Great location. CLEAN rooms with fun decorations. Nice large TV. Extra sink outside the bathroom (great fit getting ready in the morning). The best amenity however is the FREE bicycle access!! 5-6 bikes with 5 speed shifters and bike locks for you to explore the city! So cool. We were able to see everything we wanted (R.E.M. sightseeing trip) in a day because of this and so much more fun than driving and parking and walking over and over. Got the best rate, for a Thursday night in early Oct, by booking directly through the hotel website only 2 weeks in advance ($110/nt)!

Everything was perfect. Great value.

The room was in good shape for being a pet friendly room.

Such a cute hotel. Staff was so friendly and it was so close to everything we didn't even need a car.

Really nice people. Clean. Good food and service

The staff and the location were great. Everything else- not so much. Extremely musty smelling, very dimly lit room, the air condition was extremely loud, would blast frigid air for 30 seconds and then the room was hot again, only until the next blast of frigid air. We barely slept. This is the first negative hotel teview I have written. The staff was kind enough to switch us to a different room but it wasnt any better than the first, so we just dealt with it.

Room clean, front desk staff very friendly.

The decorations were great and the property was immaculate. I wish we could’ve stayed longer than 1 night!

Friendly staff. Enjoy the coffee cafe.

Eclectic decor, which is quite original. Friendly lobby and great Internet.

Property is well maintained even after a football weekend. Breakfast service was friendly and food options and quality reasonable.

Good location, but room needs freshening up - shower curtain had mildew, shower needed to be regrouted. Floors seemed weirdly sticky and moist. Room had a musty smell. On a weekday, there are no on-site dining options. The photos on website are of the lobby, not the rooms which are vintage-themed in need of refurbishment.

The suite was clean, rather large and comfortable.

Cute and comfortable. Had a great stay.

Nice job on the redesign and rebrand. The room was clean and unique. We were there for three nights but housekeeping never once cleaned the room. We had to get our own towels from the lobby and clean up ourselves.

Room is dated and the floor was a bit dirty, which was evident when I walked around the room w/o shoes.

great -- love the location, furnishings, services.

Great hotel in walking distance to downtown Athens.

Proximity to campus, ease of parking, check in. Comfortable.

I had a corner room to an intersection and cars were loud sometimes.

Location.

The room smelled and was damp.

The property was very tired. Needs a good pressure wash and paint job. For the price of the property it should be in better condition.

Clean room

Stayed overnight for a football game, great location. Walk to everything.

Overall great place to stay when we are in Athens. Only negative was that our bathroom sink faucet was loose the last time we stayed. The rooms are always clean and it’s just 2 blocks from downtown.

Room had mildew smell and was dark and dank. Noise from ice machine outside of room kept me awake all night along with the air condition unit that blew air right at bed with mildew smell. When walked on floor without shoes, feet got dirty. It was honestly gross and I paid over $1300 and stayed 1 night. They were going to call me to adjust but I never heard from anyone. Staff was friendly and helpful.

It was football themed for the game, and despite it being very busy the staff still took personal care of everyone. Truly excellent service and friendly staff. There is no turn down service, no daily housekeeping, and a small daily parking fee for easy parking (worth it!). We enjoyed the breakfast buffet and coffee bar. The Foundry where the lobby is was used to build the Athens arch. Walkable history, on site bar (noisy as expected but not disturbing in the room), good breakfast food and coffee. Safe and walkable to shopping. Would stay here again.

Loved the location, was super convenient. The front desk lady was very sweet and helpful!

Staff was lovely. Floors were filthy. Had to wear shoes in the room otherwise feet were dirty. Lobby was nice but very small and zero tvs in there in a college town during gameday weekend is unthinkable.

Needs anti-slip in shower.

Shamiya was great at check, knowledgeable, courteous, efficient, personable. My original room assignment had a leak from the above unit. Shamiya called in maintenance, decided it was best to change rooms and upgraded me to a suite. Loved my original king room, and the suite was even nicer. Great retro decor! Recommend Abacus with the utmost confidence.

Staff were very friendly. Amenities not ideal. Bed very lumpy and room definitely not VIP

Awesome!!!

Staff was super nice! Hotel room is a little musty and def nothing fancy! Air conditioner worked great and staff was really nice. I probably wouldn't stay here again unless my options were limited.

It's not a bad place. A little small. No refrigerator, only a cooler. Only a microwave in the lobby. Floors definitely need to be cleaned better. Thank the Lord I brought slippers. I know from when I wiped a little water off the floor. They were definitely not cleaned thoroughly.

Clean Room. Nice Staff. Easy walk to the Stadium for football games.

We literally left in the middle of the night deciding it was better to.just drive home. We chose to stay at this hotel after a night game at UGA. We waljed into our King Suite to a musty smelling room. Kicked on the air hoping the smell would disapate. It did not. Needed a shower and was greated to a shower full of mold. Corners, ceiling, walls all had mold. We had no body wash, light bulbs missing, and a street light that regardless of the shades being drawn continued to flash lighting up the room. The walls and doors were all super thins so you can hear everything going on outside. The lobby sells snacks and drink, lacked enough stock for the guest staying. I would not ever stay here again nor would we rexommend this place to anyone. We left at 2:30am figuring the 2 hour drive home would at least enable us to get rest once we got into our own bed. Horrible experience.

Clean but nothing like pictures. It was dark and most of the outlets didn’t work or were loose (thinking fire hazard). Only one USB port that we had to take turns charging our devices. One small window. We wanted to buy water since only 2 very small bottles in the fridge. My husband went to the lobby to buy them and they were out. The desk clerk asked the manager and she said they were ALL THE WAY in the back and didn’t leave an option to go get them. For over $1,000/ night we expected much more. We won’t be back.

Very disappointed! Hotel switched to new ownership and the property has not been updated whatsoever!! Dirty, rusty fixtures, ants, noisy!

The hotel is severely outdated which I can deal with it was the fact that the room was dirty that was most bothersome. There were cob webs & heavy dust everywhere.

Pet friendly

Old as hell and Wyatt overpriced

Everything was ok EXCEPT definitely disliked when an elongated "throw pillow" is intentionally placed ON the clean bedsheets (gross) and against the sleeping pillows and at some point I noticed a long black hair (so not mine) before bedtime, and likely from said throw pillow (?)

Property is in a great location and used to be a great option for downtown Athens. But it’s clearly gone downhill under the new ownership. Main issue was that a swarm of ants appeared overnight on the vanity sink counter outside the bathroom. I told staff about it as soon as I saw them that morning and the ants were gone when we came back that evening, but they reappeared overnight on the second night. The room also had no ice bucket room and when I asked for one at the front desk the lady on duty said housekeeping was not on property at the time and she didn’t know how to get me one. I mentioned or the ice bucket the next morning when I reported the ants, but still never got one. Beds were fine although the covers were a bit too short the way they tucked them in. The people I spoke with were all polite, they just didn’t address the issues I brought up. Just sad to see how much this place has fallen off since it was opened as the Foundry. Still has some charm and a lot of potential but it needs some attention.

I was there on a very quiet Monday-Wednesday. Perfect location.

Room was very old and smelled musty. Grounds with trash. Motel rooms. Overpriced.. picture online look better than it actually is.

The room was clean, but the finishes and furnishings were older- the bathroom was tiny. The window air conditioning was set at 66 to keep the room cool… the side of the bed near the ac was cold, but the other side got no air, so it was hot. For the price we paid, I would stay at another hotel next time.

Rooms are old and need a remodel dirt in the corners of the room. No microwave. Toilet, broken and running the whole time. Accidentally turned the AC on to the heat. And it made a fire. Fire alarm went off. Front desk, clerk, agreed I would check out late however I was awoken by housecleaning. early in the morning. Places ran by a bunch of children. The foundry for food service is closed three days out of each week Not professional. I will never stay there again.

The room was musty. Air conditioner did not circulate well. No vent/fan in the restroom. No complimentary coffee in the lobby. The staff was friendly at the front desk.

Convenient, friendly staff, comfortable beds.

Very nice hotel, great location, walk to downtown, comfortable beds and AC worked well. Staff was helpful and friendly. Had a fridge and a nice tea kettle/ coffee pot. Bathroom had a nice shower. I missed having a microwave, but other than that the room was great.

Great location! Short walk or uber to many things nearby. Bed was very comfortable.

Pool was closed for season (even though it’s 90 degrees out) and we didn’t know that until we checked in. Also there was some loud construction in a room nearby at 9am. There was also no fan in the bathroom and very dim bathroom lighting. Parking cost extra too.

Stayed here many times. Always a pleasure.

Great stay- very clean!

The art and deco in the room was very cool

We have a handicapped son. It was an easy in and out. Staff is great! Retro vibe, not fancy but beds and pillows are comfortable. I am picky about pillows! Also, breakfast was good!

This is our second time staying and everything was wonderful. Staff is awesome and always very helpful and friendly. This is our go to when in Athens.
