Appeared to be in disrepair….. not clean. Noisy in the parking lot at night. No sheets for the sofa bed….either on the bed or in the closet. Had to go to front desk and ask for them. Limited breakfast…no milk to drink or decaf coffee. very expensive…$250/night would have expected about $89/night given the location and the condition of the property.

Stefan the night lead was such a gem and made a really bad day so much better and easier for us. I hope he continues to prosper and grow in this workplace if he so desires! He is very tactful and polite while also sticking to boundaries and comes up with solutions before giving up. A true gentleman! This is a great place to just relax for a night or two

Overall the property was clean, reasonable priced and the staff was pleasant. The room, however. Smelled of cigarette smoke...and not just a hint....the air was saturated with smoke. The house staff HAD to have smelled it, when mentioned to front desk staff...clueless...I wanted to make sure they didnt charge ME for it. Other that....

The service and workers were very nice and accommodating. The room smelled and the toilet was broken. The room also had bugs. I was moved to another room. This room smelled and had bugs. The pillows on the sleeper couch were filthy. There is a hole in the ceiling in the shower. This was the worst experience I have ever had with lodging.

This place has BED BUGS. I noticed a small bug crawling around me at night and thought it was a small roach, nope brought a bed bug infestation back home with me which makes me think the room was full of them. What money you save on this cheap hotel you will spend more on trying to get rid of a bed bug infestation wish I could add a photo to show what my legs look like after staying at this place.

You’re paying for a place to sleep, if you’re coming to see the Dawgs. The bathroom floor was dirty, there was a tear in the sheets/ bedding. Our tv remote had battery corrosion, they replaced the remote and it still didn’t work for our tv. I was not impressed but would stay here again simply for the convenience.

Just ok.
Hotel is situated in a weird space not to far from downtown. While I wasn't terribly worried about my safety, the area was definitely not conducive to safety, as there were lots of people walking about and the hotel is right next to a very popular liquor store. My room was clean and comfortable, but the overall building needs some TLC. My toilet wouldn't flush upon arrival and I had to reconnect the hook and the shower was dirty. While the receptionist were very friendly, they didn't seem to be around much, but the breakfast was good. Overall, my stay was fine, but the hotel is definitely in need of a facelift.

The hotel is located in an extremely unsafe area of Athens with a high crime rate. I even found myself on the elevator with two police officers called to evict two people off the property for room squatting. The parking lot is shared with a popular liquor store that is busy and noisy. It’s unsafe to walk downtown from the hotel. The front of the hotel is lit up like a runway to discourage crime which is helpful, but I had a room facing front and the curtains were ineffective to block the extreme lighting resulting in a too bright room for sleeping. The staff tries their best in a difficult environment.
