Overall, we loved our stay and I highly recommend the restaurant downstairs (Osteria Olio). I wish there was a little more storage space for hanging things up. Also, the walls/floors are very thin. We could everything going on in the rooms beside and below us. They do provide noise machines and that helped.

Beware, active railroad tracks 15’ from hotel!
Beautiful unique industrial style hotel 3 miles from Stegman Coliseum . Staff were great, nice restaurant and bar. Unfortunately, the only thing I’ll remember is the railroad tracks and trains literally 15 minutes from our room and ran all night! Won’t be going back.

Really liked many of the amenities --- robes, steamer, really good hairdryer!
I think tea bags and hot water should be available in rooms...I also found the place loud - with peoples voices out on the patio area into the night and the train coming thru a couple times at night.
I also felt although close to UGA, we didn't get a UGA feel and would have preferred to be closer to campus.
Also, should figure out a way not to pay for parking via Valet

Massive bedrooms, shower, over all a great stay! 9/10!
Restaurant opening earlier would be more convenient and pillows that aren’t as squishy would make this hotel 10/10.

Solo female traveler friendly!
I really enjoyed my stay as I attended an education conference! The room was great, everyone was super friendly, and I felt very safe as a solo female traveler. They even offered earplugs as the room was near railroad tracks. The reuse of the old mill as a hotel made it a unique place to stay. Other than the parking situation for anyone who doesn’t wish to use valet services and the entrance that wasn’t completely obvious, at least to me, I would definitely stay here again.

Fabulous property! In an up and coming area! When you drive up (after dark) you think “where in the world have I booked a room”! When you turn the corner you say…. “OH WOW.. this is super cool”! 😃… GREAT place to stay if you don’t mind being a few extra min from
Downtown by car or Uber!

This hotel is a great addition to Athens. The hotel was lovely. Great bar. Did not eat in restaurant, but Italian menu looked great. Downside, could hear people in adjacent room and $25 valet parking outside of downtown location is too much. Will definitely stay again.

The valet and check in is minimal staff but works well. There is a lovely bar and amazing restaurant but it’s in high demand so prepare accordingly with reservations. The rooms are very nice. The rooms close to the elevator - you will hear the elevator. Staff is amazing all around and it’s a great addition to Athens.
