Sydney at the bar is an AMAZING example of hospitality, care, and positive attitude. We ate three nights in a row at the hotel mainly because of her.

We just stayed here recently for a friends wedding and had the most wonderful experience. Starting with service, we had some changes in our flights that were beyond our control. Michelle at the front desk went above and beyond to accommodate us, getting us into our room and even mapping out things for us to do. I would come back just from the hospitality alone. Rooms were great and the location is central to everything that we didn't need to even uber most of the locations. Will definitely be returning

We hosted a graduation dinner here. Communication was excellent. Saige was able to handle our entire group of 20 persons and provided AMAZING service. Thank you to Natalee for coordinating the evening!

We held a business meeting in their boardroom, with lunch and dinner catered from their kitchen. We called with fairly short notice, and they were able to accommodate our event with ease. It took very little back and forth to get everything we needed. The space was clean, the staff was cordial and expeditious, and the food was spectacular. Wonderful experience all around.

There were so many wonderful staff members that made my stay so memorable, but the highlight of my time at the Hotel Indigo in downtown Athens has to have been meeting Valencia. She went out of her way to make sure my every need was taken care of. Her empathy, kindness, and compassion were on full display, not just for me but for any guest that happened to be in her vicinity. She is truly irreplaceable.
