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!

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.

Very nice luxury hotel
Very nice place. Reminded me alot of a boutique hotel in Austin,TX called ARRIVE. My daughter and i booked this hotel to get away from the hurricane. The hostess and staff were amazing. Only issue i had was the ant infestation. Next to the coffee and condiments, was an ant trail that quickly started circling my coffee cup and sugar station in the area next to the bed. Be sure to check that area carefully as soon as you check in. I would think this being a luxury hotel there would be a complimentary stay or refund. There was no refund offered but the hostess gave us a complimentary coffee and donut and was very apologetic.

The Rivet House is simply amazing. The rooms are comfortable and cozy and yet modern and chic. The bar and restaurant was fabulous and the wait staff, bartenders and hostess provided an elevated experience. The brick oven pizzas are where it's at! The crafted cocktails offered some originality as well. I felt very at home there. The only issue I experienced was the overnight Train traffic. The first night, was manageable but the second night was unbearable as I did not get any sleep. Fix this problem and the Rivet House would be 11/10.

Parking n̈
It was amazing, room was exceptional,the only thing I didn't like was that you couldn't self park your own car, you had to use the valet parking which cost $25.00 or park yourself where you couldn't see your car.n
