Sheets were stained. Multiple calls with front desk over two days and finally got moved to another room with a broken refrigerator. Breakfast was horrible with very little selection. They even ran out of juice and coffee cups. Three night stay and given a $60 voucher to return. Not very good customer service in my opinion.

Dirty hotel
Room was extremely dirty. Floors hadn’t been mopped in months. Stains on walls. Iron board broke. NO COMFORTER, just two flat sheets on bed. No container for ice machine, no coffee cups, coffee or coffee maker. Air conditioner was so loud, sounded like it had loud bass to it. Overall it was very dirty and not worth $1,000 for ONE NIGHT during a Georgia home game. Never will be back there.
