    Closet the dust came from
    Anita M.

    This hotel is a bit of a hit and miss. The staff is quite nice, that's for sure, no complaints with them...except for when we needed to switch rooms. We unexpectedly had to extend our stay by one night (not a problem), so we made an additional reservation. It seems tho the staff did not communicate the change to the day staff. We were continually disturbed by cleaning staff who needed to clean our room and do their jobs...but we couldn't leave our room until the new room was ready (we had our cats with us.) It seems to me someone should have let the cleaners know to clean our 2nd room as soon as they could instead of in order. And as you can see by the paw prints from our cats jumping on top of the closet...they never dust up there (a big problem for people with dust allergies.) Our first room really wasn't bad, but the ac/heater was a little tricky to figure out and the fridge froze everything wr put into it (there was no way to adjust the temp.) Our second room (a more expensive room) only had the benefit of more space, that's it. And, it has the LOUDEST plumbing I've ever heard, seriously...there is something wrong with the plumbing in room 420, this room should not be sold until this is fixed. Their tvs also need upgrading to smart tvs. The channel guide is a pain to use and programming is limited. At least allow people to log in to their Netflix or prime. Lastly, if you are looking for a quiet location this isn't it. I've never heard so many sirens, not even in NYC. They are constant here and the traffic outside is very loud, these rooms really could use more soundproofing.

    Ok so let me explain the * I received $50 back from Christopher after this horrible stay. I checked in and went to my room 510 Room smelled musty when I walked in but didn't think much about it until about 30 minutes later when I realized about 6 foot of the carpet by the ac was completely soaked. I put 5 towels down and within a few minutes they were completely soaked through as well. The poor lady @ the front desk was clearly upset about it but she didn't have anyone there that could help me out. I also discovered the fridge wasn't working as well so fast forward to 4:45 am when I go to get in the shower and discover that surprise the dang shower doesn't work either seriously what else could go wrong with rbis stay. I screwed around with the thing for 20 minutes and was finally able to get it to spray. Overall I was upset with my stay but I guess the $50 back helps but throughout the day today it really should've been a full refund. Listen I stay @ hotels 3-4 nights every week across the country & this was a first for me. To have so many things go wrong during a stay should never happen

    In town for a show. Staying at a different place than we normally stay. Upon arrival check in was super fast and easy. The elevators are very fast thry arrived within seconds of hitting the button. I did my customary inspection of the room and it passed with flying colors. The remote, table tops and the bathroom are all very clean. We have a friend staying with us for the 1st thru the 3rd night and then we get the last night to ourselves. From what I've seen so far this is a much better place to stay at than where we're used to stay...the 'dazed inn'. Getting ready to go down for breakfast right now so I'll review that in a few. Back and they have just about everything. Waffles, cereal, pastries, scrambled eggs, bacon, hard boiled eggs, smoothies and fresh pressed juice...Yummy!! Back to the room for a shower...in the clean super white caulked shower/bathtub. Great water pressure and easy to use/reach shower head for short people. There are plenty of outlets for charging devices on the night stand. The desk area is small but perfect sized with bright lights. I wish the chair was leather or fake leather instead of cloth...gross. There is a microwave and fridge. The closet is nice sized with doors; ironing board, iron and extra blanket..and plenty of hangers. A little pricey for us but well worth the $125 a night with taxes. Would've given 5 stars, but I had to take a half a star for not having a fan in the bathroom and another half for no indoor pool and hot tub. Regardless we will be back again.

    My room was infested with roaches. Got the heck out of there the next day. Roaches on the walls, in the bathroom and crawling on the other bed. One was crawling on my cup of juice on the night table. My coworker next door saw some in hers as well. ​​​​

    Truth be told - this is a Motel. Albeit, better than a Red Roof Inn, but still a motel. Pictures…read moreshared on their site show the main building where the lobby, coffee shop and restaurant/bar (The Foundry) is located, but the rooms are across a street in a large L shaped, two-story building. First the positives: The lobby and coffee shop are decorated in a fun, quirky way which creates a casual and relaxing environment. I've heard the decor described as being from a Wes Anderson movie. (I think that is an accurate description.) We would have our morning coffee over there relaxing on the comfy couches/chairs and had a surprisingly good breakfast burrito at the coffee shop. Location was good. Close to downtown, easy 10 minute walk to most things, and it was close to the North Oconee River Greenway walking trail on the other side of the river. Our room (on the second floor) was comfortable, clean, well appointed and quiet. The quietness may be due to the fact that we were possibly one of only two or three customers in the hotel those nights. Nonetheless, we slept well and have no complaints about the room. Now for some minor negatives: Staff, which comprised mostly college students, were less than friendly or attentive. At check-in, important information was not disclosed, like the optional housekeeping service, or that the restaurant/bar was not open (at all) during our stay. The $12 per day parking fee was excessive in my opinion. We were the only car in this lot - I feel like they could've waived the parking fee. And the $75 dog fee was a bit steep - but the room rate was low, so I guess it balanced out. We had to call for towels (and to replace a broken soap dispenser) repeatedly before someone finally showed up around 7 pm - I think they didn't have anyone working.... Anyhow - would I stay at this hotel again? Yes. My girlfriend probably wouldn't however. I think had it been warmer and had the Foundry been open, we probably would have had a better experience there. But, it is significantly cheaper that other hotels I looked at, and, frankly, you have to take that into consideration.

The room has two TVs, a full sized refrigerator, and a dishwasher. I ate out most of the time but I did use the fridge. For some reason the refrigerator was making a lot of noise off and on throughout the stay- not constantly but when it came on it was annoying. The bathroom shower was also a high step in which may be a deal breaker for some people. The separate bedroom was awesome. The bed was comfortable enough. The ceiling fan was able to circulate at a high level and pretty quietly. The property itself was also pretty quiet. I am sure football home games would be a different vibe. The front desk was kind of all over the place. My initial check in was amazing! She was helpful and gave several recommendations. When I came back that night not so much. The next morning, again not so much. Nothing rude but also not the same level as my initial experience. I would certainly recommend this location and come back.

    HOUSEKEEPING: I initially thought my room was clean, but later found what appeared to be lipstick…read morestains on the bedding, another brown/rust-colored stain tucked beneath the mattress at the foot of the bed, and faded stains on multiple towels. I didn't complain about the first stained towel because I assumed it was an isolated laundering issue. Finding additional stains, especially on the bedding, changed that. At around $250/night, I expect a much higher standard of cleanliness. AMENITIES/SERVICE: The room's lights require inserting your key card into a wall slot, which wasn't explained at check-in. I figured it out, but others in my group struggled. There are no guest ice machines. At check-in I was specifically told ice could be brought to my room. I preferred to get it myself and went downstairs shortly afterward, only to be told they had NO ICE. Why offer to deliver something that isn't available? We were told the restaurant opened for breakfast around 7-8 a.m., yet I never saw it open for breakfast when I looked during my stay. Indoor common seating is limited, and the elevator is surprisingly slow for a three-story hotel. After discovering the in-room water was $5, I also wasn't confident about what else was complimentary versus chargeable. The Wi-Fi was terrible and inconsistent. It repeatedly disconnected and kicked me off throughout my stay. This wasn't an issue with only my device; other people in my group experienced the same problem. FOOD: The restaurant was a major disappointment. My half-chicken dish was pictured with crispy-looking skin and plenty of peppers. Mine arrived only warm--not hot--with soggy skin, very few peppers, and little flavor. The grilled artichokes were mushy. I intentionally didn't send it back. I wanted to experience what the restaurant normally serves, not coach the kitchen through remaking my meal. Someone prepared, plated, inspected, and decided that dish was acceptable to serve. Food can look disappointing and still taste great, so I tried it anyway. Unfortunately, it didn't. For the prices charged, the food did not deliver. PARKING: Valet was $25; otherwise you park elsewhere around the property and walk. The parking arrangement and cost should be clearer before arrival. DEPOSIT/ROOM ISSUES: Another party in my group and I booked king rooms together through the same portal, on the same multi-room reservation, for the same number of nights. Their paperwork showed a king, yet they were given a double queen. I was told the deposit was $150 and had $150 authorized. The other party was told $150 PER NIGHT/PER ACCOMMODATION and had $450 authorized for the exact same three-night stay. I didn't discover this until the following day and called the hotel for clarification. I was then told the standard is $150 per night/per accommodation. However, Rivet House's own website only states that a "$150 deposit is due at check-in." It does not clearly disclose there that this means $150 PER NIGHT. That's a substantial difference--$150 versus $450 for a three-night stay. Guests shouldn't have to search Expedia, TripAdvisor, or other third-party sites to find material information about the hotel's own deposit policy. It should be clearly stated on the hotel's website and consistently explained by staff. If $150/night is the standard, it also raises the obvious question of why two guests staying the same number of nights had completely different amounts authorized. TRAIN/NOISE: The hotel sits immediately beside active railroad tracks. This personally didn't bother me; the train functioned as white noise. It did bother others in my group. Rooms provide earplugs and a sound machine, although I found the sound machine louder than the train even on its lowest setting. The property itself is beautiful, smells wonderful, and the bed, pillows, and bedding were extremely comfortable. The Molton Brown toiletries smelled great, although I found them drying. But aesthetics and a comfortable bed aren't enough to justify the price when basic cleanliness, food, Wi-Fi, amenities, communication, and transparency fall short. I've stayed at full-service hotels for less money with reliable breakfast, restaurants, bars, pools, gyms, ice machines, lobby seating, clean rooms, reliable Wi-Fi, and clearer amenities. Rivet House is beautiful and photographs well, but based on my experience, the overall hospitality and execution did not match the premium presentation or price. I would not stay again.

    Yep, this is a big no. I will not return here…read more The photos on the website are super cool. When you walk inside, it really is very well decorated. They have a comfortable lobby and there is wonderful outdoor seating. The room is also very nice. It is clean and fresh and has many items you would like a room to have. However, you will immediately notice the train tracks right outside the window. During the day there are many people walking the tracks and if you are on the 2nd floor as I was, they can look straight into your room. The trains do not seem to be especially noisy, but they were loud enough to wake me up while sleeping. They offer a comfy bed, but the pillows are very uncomfortable as to be unusable. They say they offer breakfast, which is not complimentary, however it is a window where an attendant will make a coffee for you and heat up stale danishes and quiches which are completely inedible. The dinner meals are not worth the time or money spent. The best part of this hotel were the receptionists who cheerfully offered to bring our doordash meals to our room. This hotel is a hard pass going forward.
