"Great place to stay in Athens! "

"My partner and I stayed at Rivet House in Athens, GA on July 12 for a romantic getaway, and it exceeded all expectations. Tucked away in a quiet, secluded location, the hotel feels more like a boutique spa retreat than a traditional hotel. From the moment we arrived, everything about the atmosphere was calming — like stepping into a serene oasis. The entire hotel has a spa-like ambiance that immediately puts you at ease. Our room was beautifully designed, and the bed was incredibly comfortable — we slept like babies. Although there’s a train track behind the hotel, it was barely audible, and when we did hear it, the sound was surprisingly soothing, almost like white noise. One thing to note: valet parking is available for $25, but there’s also a nearby parking lot just a short walk away if you'd prefer to skip the valet. Also, there's no iron or ironing board in the room, so be sure to pack your clothes wrinkle-free if you plan to go out. Overall, we absolutely loved our stay. If you’re looking for a peaceful, relaxing escape — whether for a romantic trip or just a break from the noise — I’d highly recommend Rivet House. It's a 10/10 for us. We’re already planning to return, and next time, we’re definitely trying the spa!"
