The Spotlight on Hilton Garden Inn Macon / Mercer University

Smart Comfort Near Macon's Music and University Scene

Modern and relaxed, the Hilton Garden Inn Macon / Mercer University offers a convenient base for music fans visiting Macon. Just a short drive (about 2.8 miles) from the Grand Opera House and downtown concert venues, this 3-star hotel sits right by Mercer University and delivers comfort, style, and southern hospitality in equal measure.

Why Concert-goers love it

Location is everything, and this hotel makes getting to shows easy. You're only minutes away from Macon's historic downtown music venues, without being caught in the middle of the noise and traffic. With free private parking, a 24-hour front desk, and free WiFi, you can relax post-show or plan your next gig. The late 12:00 PM check-out is a major bonus for anyone who stayed out late.

Who this Hotel is great for

- Groups of friends road-tripping for a weekend of music
- Solo travelers catching their favorite act in Macon
- Couples looking for a romantic music-filled getaway
- Fans who prefer a peaceful crash pad after the show
- Budget-conscious concert-goers who still want hotel comfort

Food and Drink Options

The on-site restaurant and bar make grabbing a bite or drink easy before or after a show. While there's no 24/7 room service, the hotel offers an American breakfast that’s ideal for refueling after a late night. Macon’s downtown eateries are just a short ride away for more late-night options.

Nightlife Options

While the hotel itself is more about relaxing than rocking out, you're just minutes from downtown’s vibrant music and nightlife scene. Whether you're into dive bars with local acts or chill lounges offering craft cocktails, you'll find plenty to explore nearby.

What People Say

Guests often highlight the hotel’s friendly staff, clean and spacious rooms, and its excellent location for events at Mercer University and downtown Macon. The free parking and easy access to major roads are also frequently praised.

Areas for Improvement

Some guests mentioned the area can feel a bit quiet at night—great for rest, but not for spontaneous nightlife. Also, while dining is available onsite, there are limited late-night options within walking distance, so plan accordingly.

The Bottom Line

For concert-goers looking for a quiet, comfortable, and convenient stay just minutes from Macon's music venues, Hilton Garden Inn Macon / Mercer University hits the right note.

I thought we were Hilton...

Liked: My brealfast was good; my husbands experience was the opposite.
Disliked: The breakfast started off on the wrong foot. My husband got cereal, poured the milk, started to eat and the skim milk was sour. When he asked about it, he was told they were out of anymore skim and only had regular milk, no apology, etc. If I had not started eating myself, we would have left. The breakfast I ate was quite good; however, his negative experience ruined the meal for me as he was quite irritated and felt as if the staff could have cared less. The breakfast at over 35.00 for two is a bit overpriced.

I’ve never left a review...

Liked: The lobby area was nice that’s it
Disliked: We stayed as we were traveling from Ohio to Florida for work. A nasty, stained carpet, dirty floors and shower double queen room cost us almost $400 although the price on booking was $163 when we reserved it with little explanation from rude staff when we received our reciept. To which the reciept wasn’t even accurate because I got an emailed receipt later which was over $20 more. Place is ran by con artists and staff that have the motivation of geriatric slugs Would recommend you find literally any other possible arrangement before you stay with this facility
