Fodor's Expert Review Hilton Garden Inn Macon/Mercer University

There aren't many hotels in downtown Macon, but this trusted chain is just 2 miles from the city center on the campus of Mercer University, making it a safe bet. It's also easily accessible to Interstate 75. Rooms are clean and modern with all the amenities you'd expect. There's a restaurant/bar on-site, offering breakfast and dinner, and an outdoor pool for cooling off in the Georgia sun.
