Book a Watkinsville Cottage

"Adequate for a night to get to the airport the next day"

"The breakfast bar was, by far, the best I have ever seen. Parking was safe and accessible. Staff was helpful, and the rooms were very clean. The proximity to my meetings at the Classic Center made everything so easy. I will be back!!"

"Property is great and in a great location. It was very expensive for graduation weekend."

"Granted this was UGA graduation weekend and demand was high- the price we paid for our rooms was a little out of whack for what you get. Everything is pretty dated and not that nice. Room had a busted toilet paper and towel rack, bed sheet had stain on it. There’s only one elevator that goes to upper floors which doesn’t work well with high occupancy. However if price were much lower which is probably the case on most days then I would’ve been more satisfied. The staff is friendly enough. The lady in the breakfast room was very nice and friendly. The parking situation is good. The location is pretty good because it’s walkable to downtown Athens."

"Loved everything about it"

"Only thing was the A/c unit making a load noise every time it shut off , sounded like the door been opened, keeped me awake majority of night,"

"The hotel itself was excellent, and our stay on the second floor was otherwise very enjoyable. However, the noise level from the room above us was quite disruptive. After driving more than four hours to arrive, I was hoping for a restful night’s sleep, especially since I needed to be up at 6:00 a.m. Unfortunately, the noise made that difficult, and I only managed to get around five hours of sleep."

"Parking was kind of odd and you had to kinda guess which way to go other than under the registration canopy. For the price, the room was adequate and the area quiet and the side parking lot well lit. Beds were a little soft for me....but okay. Breakfast was pretty much the standard when a breakfast is provided....scramble eggs, sausage, yogurt, bagels, waffles, juice and sugar packets etc. were well stocked. Coffee was really good!"

"For an overnight stay in Athens, this was perfect. I appreciated how clean everything is, breakfast selection was very decent and fresh, staff was smiling and welcoming. Room was perfect for a quick business trip, loved that there was no creepy bed spread, everything looks pretty new and well maintained. If all HIExpress locations are like that, that will be my go-to."
