We just stayed at the Hilton Garden Inn in Wildwood, GA, just north of Atlanta, en route to The Villages. It is convenient to I-75, is in a very safe and nice area, and has a restaurant across the street you can walk to.

The staff is very friendly, and upgraded us to a suite when our room's door lock didn't work--after we had unloaded all of our luggage in that room! They have a bar area that serves drinks (and maybe some food) at night. They have a *great* breakfast buffet for $10, which includes made-to-order pancakes, waffles, etc. The lobby area is very nice, too.

It's the Hilton Garden Inn - Atlanta NW/Wildwood, 2045 Windy Hill Rd. (phone # is 770-953-8850).

Good luck, and welcome to The Villages! When do you close, and which village will you be in?
