Wingate Athens

10/10 Excellent
"Hotel is undergoing renovations and on its way to being updated on 9/27/26. When we arrived, we thought they were closed by the black tarp in the foyer on the other side of the entry way. We were able to call and got the front desk who talked us in. Hot tub was warm and bubbling, not very hot. Shower had adequate pressure and got warm quickly. Bed was comfortable and the room had recently been done. Smelled very clean. Facility not far from the interstate. Feel it is a good place to stay. Breakfast was real eggs, bacon, biscuits, waffles and the continental stuff."
