“The pet-friendly hotel certainly has charm, especially with its proximity to the University of Georgia and its unique decor inspired by local culture; that said, some aspects need refreshing, especially given the on-site restaurant's limited hours. I think that easy access to live music at The Foundry and the outdoor pool give this property some real advantages.”
