Good location, friendly staff and
excellent hot water.
Beds were stiff, didn't like the sliding glass doors.

Nice hotel. Good for the money and good location. Would definitely stay again next time in Athens, GA.

The smell of the room was odd.

TV worked when it felt like it, the air conditioner was an awful contraption that left me ill and take Lysol because the smell of the room is a migraine waiting to happen.

The only thing is that it was cheap.
Bugs, smelled like smoke and it was
not clean.

This was probably the worst hotel I have ever stayed at. The carpet flooring was stained. There were bugs in the bathroom and crawling on the floors. The rooms smelled like smoke because the rooms before ours and across the hallway were smoking rooms. Even the mini-fridge was absolutely disgusting. I wouldn't recommend staying here for anyone no matter what the budget. ...read more
