Macon, Georgia long called “The Heart of Georgia” because the metropolitan area claimed the geographic center of the state sits about 85 miles south of Atlanta. Macon offers a lot to do including the Country Music Hall of Fame, the Macon Cherry Blossom Festival (every March), historical home tours, music history museums, and is starting to be called a college town. Don’t miss the beaches on Lake Tobesofkee.
The Hilton Garden Inn Macon/Mercer University is just a nine-minute walk – tops – to the Mercer University. The property offers 101 guestrooms with king beds or two queens. Upgrade to a king suite with a separate living area and a sofa sleeper. Rooms come with a microwave, a mini-fridge, a Keurig coffee system, a flat-screen TV, and free-Wi-Fi.
The onsite restaurant — The Garden Grille – serves breakfast and dinner. A 24/7 pantry has snacks and frozen food. The property has a large outdoor pool with a pretty patio, a fitness center and coin-operated laundry. The hotel is also a quick walk to Mercer Village (Barnes & Noble, Margarita’s Mexican Grill, Sauced Pizza, Jittery Joe’s Coffee and more.)
