Americus is a lovely town in Georgia that makes a great base for visiting Andersonville National Historic Site and Jimmy Carter National Historical Park. There are plenty of places to stay and a few decent places to eat while in town.
Motel 6
We stayed at the Motel 6 Americus and it was as bad as you could imagine. First of all, the door stuck and the manager had to come show us a trick to open it. Secondly, the bed was uncomfortable and the room wasn’t exactly clean. The only good thing was the friendly manager. There are much better places to stay.
The 1800
For dinner, we went to The 1800, which is a decent Mexican place downtown. Service was friendly and it had a nice atmosphere. I had a burrito and Marisol had chicken soup. Both of us were happy with the meal and experience.
Café Campesino
In the morning, we tried Café Campesino, also located downtown. This 100% fair trade organic coffee company serves excellent coffee and good breakfasts.
I had an oatmeal and Marisol had a frittata. We also had a cappuccino and latte. Service was friendly and helpful, and we would be happy to visit again.
