Did not know there was a train that runs right by the hotel! The room provides a sound/white noise machine so I turned that on. Luckily I was so tired I fell asleep and slept through the night, but the train was very loud before that point. Staff at checkin was fantastic. Room was beautiful. Wish that the self park area was closer so as a result I opted for the expensive valet option.

Loved the Rivet House!!! Downtown is an easy quick drive or Uber. There is a train track right next to the hotel but they provide ear plugs and noise machines. The only slight inconvenience was finding an outlet close to the mirror for drying my hair. Overall 10/10! We will stay there again.

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.

Lovely Building + Staff, Horrible Location
Beautifully restored building, friendly staff, horrible location - nowhere near UGA campus, downtown Athens, and no shuttle service! Came up for UGA/GT game. Waited an hour+ for Uber/Lyft as you can’t walk to this property (shady AF area) and it hasn’t dawned on the brilliant owners to offer a shuttle service!! Also, train tracks right outside window w/ train AT 1:30 AM!! Think My Cousin Vinny scene! Not coming back!

The walls are paper thin you can lay on the bed and hear the people talk next door. I was shocked at how loud it was must only be Sheetrock walls and no insulation for sound buffer. The place is nice but don’t look for a good nights rest.

Very cool hotel. The restaurant on the property is excellent! We did not anticipate train tracks right outside our room. Would recommend adding sound machines in each room to drown out trains passing by in middle of night. Cell service was basically non-existent.

Fabulous property! In an up and coming area! When you drive up (after dark) you think “where in the world have I booked a room”! When you turn the corner you say…. “OH WOW.. this is super cool”! 😃… GREAT place to stay if you don’t mind being a few extra min from Downtown by car or Uber!

Solo female traveler friendly!
I really enjoyed my stay as I attended an education conference! The room was great, everyone was super friendly, and I felt very safe as a solo female traveler. They even offered earplugs as the room was near railroad tracks. The reuse of the old mill as a hotel made it a unique place to stay. Other than the parking situation for anyone who doesn’t wish to use valet services and the entrance that wasn’t completely obvious, at least to me, I would definitely stay here again.
