Amazing Attention to Detail
This hotel is top notch. The Details were beautiful and the quality was top notch. It had a very luxurious feel. Staff was very friendly. The only negative was the very loud train around 4:30 am. There was a noise machine to use to help with this, but we didn't take it seriously. I recommend using the noise machine. I would definitely stay her agaoin.

Beware, active railroad tracks 15’ from hotel!
Beautiful unique industrial style hotel 3 miles from Stegman Coliseum . Staff were great, nice restaurant and bar. Unfortunately, the only thing I’ll remember is the railroad tracks and trains literally 15 minutes from our room and ran all night! Won’t be going back.

Overall, we loved our stay and I highly recommend the restaurant downstairs (Osteria Olio). I wish there was a little more storage space for hanging things up. Also, the walls/floors are very thin. We could everything going on in the rooms beside and below us. They do provide noise machines and that helped.

Really liked many of the amenities --- robes, steamer, really good hairdryer!
I think tea bags and hot water should be available in rooms...I also found the place loud - with peoples voices out on the patio area into the night and the train coming thru a couple times at night.
I also felt although close to UGA, we didn't get a UGA feel and would have preferred to be closer to campus.
Also, should figure out a way not to pay for parking via Valet

Loved our stay at Rivet House and will definitely go back! It had a very charming eclectic vibe. The rooms were well appointed with comfortable beds and nice showers.
All the staff we encountered from Valet to front desk personnel were very courteous and friendly. I’ve heard great things about the onsite Italian restaurant although we did not dine there on this trip.

Massive bedrooms, shower, over all a great stay! 9/10!
Restaurant opening earlier would be more convenient and pillows that aren’t as squishy would make this hotel 10/10.
