When you travel as much as I do, finding a gem like this can really make you feel like you found a home-away-from-home while on the road and that is always a very, very good thing. I am also inclined to now check for the Hotel Indigo brand when I am in other cities as well because of the good experience this hotel gave me. On my last visit, I stayed at the Foundry Park Inn which was also lovely but I would definitely opt for the Hotel Indigo from now on for my visits to Athens, GA. I was there for an education conference and was exhibiting so I actually drove instead of walking to the venue because I had booth materials to unload, but, I promise, it is totally walkable. Super comfy! This hotel is conveniently located within walking distance to The Classic Center. Thereafter, I hit the hay and it only took seconds for me to fall asleep on the dreamy bed. a definite bonus! After dinner, I cranked up my laptop and enjoyed a great connection with the wireless internet service the hotel offered. The chicken kabobs were so delicious- I highly recommend them- and I didn't have to wait long for the delivery. I enjoyed a room service meal from the Madison Restaurant which is a part of the hotel. The lobby was beautiful and the front desk staff were SUPER friendly really made you feel welcomed. :-) Parking was gated and there was a downstairs door to the parking area that was accessible only to guests- very safe and convenient. The "green" initiative at Hotel Indigo is also refreshing but not overdone (meaning, I still had great water pressure for my shower and for toilet flushes- perfect!). The room had hardwood floors, wood ceilings (GREAT touch!), lovely decor (modern vibe but also a warm and zen-like atmosphere), and was extremely clean and VERY spacious (see pics attached). If they greatly reduce this charge we would stay here again on our next trip to Athens.After years of weekly travel for work, I have stayed in many nice hotels but, I have to say, I may be a Hotel Indigo convert after my recent stay at the Hotel Indigo in Athens, GA! It was gorgeous, luxurious, and yet also a fantastic price! I still can't get over it, actually. This Indigo charges a $75 non-refundable "deposit" but still claims to be pet friendly. Other Indigo's that we have stayed at have taken pets for free. Indigo hotels are required to take pets as it is one thing that they market their hotels on. Why am I paying for parking in Athens, GA? The other was the high pet fee. The hotel had several fees that were not needed and if they have the same fees I would not stay there again. Food was good but expensive as was the room service the next morning. We ate at their bar that night and they had live entertainment which was very good. The rooms were comfortable and had nice amenities and was very clean. The outside of the hotel looked very bad to me but everyone has their taste. Hotel Indigo has done a nice job with their brand of hotels and this one was no exception and had it's own unique look and feel. We stayed here while our dog was at the UGA hospital and found it to be a nice hotel.
