"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!"

"It was my vacation and I enjoyed staying in your hotel. I was a little disappointed with the TV. I asked front desk. to fix the TV but the person who they sent that didn’t quite know how to fix the TV. The TV was blue the whole entire time I stayed there But for the most part I enjoyed my stay. One more thing provide a better space for dogs and a trashcan for their poop to go into. I just wish you guys were located in a better neighborhood for the most part, I enjoyed my stay😁"
