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."
