Other Athens hotel options (one cheaper, two fancier)

I did not save rooms at the Travelodge, the Hilton Garden Inn, or the Foundry Park Inn (the hotels listed in this posting). 

I did save 30 rooms at the Holiday Inn Express (see posting immediately below this posting). You can reserve a room at the Holiday Inn Express for an $89 special group rate when you book under the group "RDW" before June 19. 

You can reserve a room at the Travelodge, the Hilton Garden Inn, the Foundry Park Inn, or any other hotel you like, but I have not saved rooms at these hotels and there is no special group rate.

A cheaper option:

Zac and I always stay at the Travelodge, 898 W. Broad St., Athens, GA 30601. It's very close to the Holiday Inn Express. Both hotels are within walking distance of downtown Athens. You pay for what you get with the Travelodge. It's not the nicest place, but it's cheap and has a good location. Call (706) 549-5400 to check rates and book a room. (The Holiday Inn Express's group rate is $89.)

A couple fancier options:

There is a spankin' new Hilton Garden Inn downtown Athens, 390 E. Washington St., Athens, GA 30601. Call (706) 353-6800 to check rates and book a room.

The Foundry Park Inn and Spa is a beautiful hotel, also downtown Athens at 295 E. Dougherty St., Athens, GA 30601. Call (706) 549-7020 to check rates and book a room.
