"It's a very well maintained property, very clean and neat. Amenities (breakfast, snacks, soda, water, beer, wine) are great and staff extremely nice (and available). Room (Ivey) was just what we needed, retro decoration, nice bed, large bathroom. Location is great (S. Milledge). Close to University (walkable), can walk to several restaurants and close to sororities/fraternities, but not within hearing distance. Would highly recommend for an upper scale visit to Athens or UGA"

Top Baxter Hotel Reviews

Hotel Indigo Athens University Area by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"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."
