We stayed overnight after a wedding nearby. The hotel was extremely clean and a great location. The staff was courteous and the parking was convenient. We did not eat at Hotel Indigo, but would definitely book again when in Athens.

Our weekend at Hotel Indigo for the UGA vs. Oklahoma game was perfect. From the moment we arrived, they provided an entire top-notch "game-day" experience. After a long drive, it was really nice to be greeted (unexpectedly) with a complimentary cocktail hour and live entertainment on the patio. Each morning, we had a very nice breakfast included with our reservation. Sanford Stadium was easily walkable through N. Campus. When making reservations for game-day weekend, all of the hotels were outrageously expensive. However, I am really glad we selected Hotel Indigo and will definitely stay here again.

The staff was great, and the room was nice- My only complaint was that the Television in the room would not turn on. The front desk gave me new batteries for the remote- but that wasn't the problem. I was too busy to waste time having it addressed.

This was our first time in Athens and Hotel Indigo did not disappoint. It was beautifully decorated and the rooms have a "wow" factor. The beds are comfortable and everything felt clean and well maintained. The front desk person who checked us in was very nice and allowed us to check in early, which was very much appreciated after being on the road for six hours. We had complimentary breakfast vouchers, and it was delicious. We will definitely stay at Hotel Indigo again!
