You don't have to make your own waffles. They are premade and cut into small pieces. There's a lot more to explore. Don't miss out on the breakfast!

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.

I only interacted with two staff members during my stay though. On to the room. Our room was clean and tidy upon our check in, bathroom included. They didn't refill the complimentary bath soaps, lotion, etc before our arrival. Another guest at the wedding said the same thing. We didn't interact with housekeeping because we stayed for two nights so we put the 'still sleeping' sign on our door. They had complimentary breakfast. It was your standard 'hotel' breakfast. Eggs, sausage, toast, waffles, bagels, fruit, etc. My only complaint was I wish they had toppings for the oatmeal like they did for the waffles. Check out was a smooth process and I didn't have any charges or issues once I returned home.

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.

Good location, good bang for your buck…read more Check-in was a breeze. The hotel was full, so parking in the front was scarce. The room wasn't as clean as it should be. The shower needed some work done to it, and the bathroom floor doesn't appear to have been cleaned. The beds were comfy. There isn't enough light in the room. More lighting should be added. Breakfast was not the best. They did have turkey sausage, which was great for non pork eaters. It was the same items every day and not many choices. Biscuits, sausage, eggs, cereal, and muffins were some of the items. The elevators kept getting stuck on the floors, and you had to push the floor button to make the doors open. It even skipped floors that were chosen a few times. The hotel was not bad, not amazing, but you get what you pay for.

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.
