I appreciated that they did not price gouge like most of the other area hotels on an OU "special" weekend. No frills but it met our needs. Super close to campus. Very clean, polite and attentive staff. It is not fancy. The beds were very firm which I liked. If you're just looking for a place to sleep, it fits the bill. I would not be opposed to staying again. We were grateful to find this room on Mom's Weekend! ##### Megan Stayed 2 nights in Apr 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Gregory 24 Feb 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service Disliked: Property conditions & facilities Not a bad place to stay. What you would expect from a 65 dollar a night room. Relatively clean. Looks like they have done some recent painting. Staff is very nice. I would stay here again. ##### Gregory Stayed 1 night in Feb 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Michael 15 Feb 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Nothing fancy but perfectly adequate as a place to stop for the night in the middle of a long drive. The bed was comfortable, the heat and plumbing worked. I don't need fancy decor, and didn't even take my computer out so can't speak of the desk and chair. The money I saved more than covered a nice breakfast at a restaurant down the street. ##### Michael Stayed 1 night in Feb 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### john, Tiburon 24 Jul 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service Disliked: Amenities, property conditions & facilities Cheap and functional.

A new coat of paint would go a long way. The shower head is not made for tall people. All in all, I’d stay there again. It was nice a close to OU which was the reason for our visit. Super quiet. The road construction on the front street was a bummer. Bottom line is that we got to see our daughter during parents week and didn’t have to go bankrupt to do so, though the price was inflated due to the occasion. ##### Kathleen Stayed 2 nights in Sep 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Kathleen 10 Aug 2023 Liked: Staff & service, amenities Not the cleanest place I’ve been to, has a lot of drug activity going on!

The woman who checked us in (I was in Athens with my 16 yr old daughter visiting a friend) was very friendly! The door to the room only had a doorknob lock and it wasn't super sturdy. The chain lock was broken. And the door had a decent-sized gap between it and the door frame in some places. That all being said, I still felt safe enough and the rooms on the opposite end of the motel were being worked on and upgraded while we were there. I would definitely still recommend this motel! VERY good for the price! ##### Stephanie Stayed 1 night in May 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### David 30 Sept 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort The Highlander has had some upgrades since my previous visit. The only negative was that the bed was VERY HIGH. There was an American high jumper named Dick Forsbury. I practically had to do the Fosbury Flop to get into the bed. Not everyone is tall, so this is an issue that should be resolved. ##### David Stayed 1 night in Sep 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Matthew 25 May 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities I have stayed here dozens of times. It's a great motel if you're on a budget. There are certainly cheaper motels in Athens, but those scare me. The Highlander is in a nice spot in Athens near a bike path and between a coffee shop and a popular hotdog stand. It's a long walk to "downtown" Athens but doable if. This is not the Ritz. You are getting what you pay for. The floors may be squishy at spots, but they are clean floors. Beds are nice. The water pressure from the showers is actually impressive--so that's a plus. This is a popular motel with construction contractors doing work somewhere near Athens. I almost always see a few construction trucks and vans every time I stay here. This place is family owned and they seem to take pride in their work with limited means. If you want to stay in Athens for cheap, stay here. ##### Matthew Stayed 1 night in May 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Tom 27 Sept 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service ##### Tom Stayed 1 night in Sep 2025 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Ky 23 Aug 2025 ##### Ky Stayed 1 night in Aug 2025 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Maui Coast Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kihei-Hotels-Maui-Coast-Hotel.h28645.Hotel-Information) > > [Holiday Inn Express & Suites Price by IHG](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Price-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-Express-Suites-Price.h9253345.Hotel-Information) > > [La Quinta Inn & Suites by Wyndham Myrtle Beach - N Kings Hwy](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Myrtle-Beach-Hotels-La-Quinta-Inn-Suites-By-Wyndham-Myrtle-Beach-N-Kings-Hwy.h6849.Hotel-Information) > > [Baymont by Wyndham Mishawaka South Bend Area](https://www.expedia.co.uk/South-Bend-Hotels-Baymont-By-Wyndham-Mishawaka-South-Bend-Area.h1976.Hotel-Information) > > [Solterra Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Orlando-Hotels-Solterra-Resort.h18526478.Hotel-Information) > > [Pismo Lighthouse Suites](https://www.expedia.co.uk/San-Luis-Obispo-Hotels-Pismo-Lighthouse-Suites.h10966.Hotel-Information) > > [Fairmont Orchid](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kamuela-Hotels-Fairmont-Orchid.h25190.Hotel-Information) > > [Aspen Select](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Rochester-Hotels-Aspen-Select.h12245240.Hotel-Information) > > [La Quinta Inn & Suites by Wyndham Cocoa Beach Oceanfront](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cocoa-Beach-Hotels-La-Quinta-Inn-Suites-By-Wyndham-Cocoa-Beach-Oceanfront.h894002.Hotel-Information) > > [Hyatt Place Titusville / Kennedy Space Center](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Titusville-Hotels-Hyatt-Place-Titusville-Space-Center.h44354265.Hotel-Information) > > [Holiday Inn Key Largo by IHG](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Key-Largo-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-Key-Largo.h7230.Hotel-Information) > > [Gurney's Montauk Resort & Seawater Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Montauk-Hotels-Gurneys-Montauk-Resort-Seawater-Spa.h7033726.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Marguerite Anaheim/Garden Grove, Trademark Collection by Wyndham](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Garden-Grove-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-Express-Suites-Garden-Grove-Anaheim-South.h917954.Hotel-Information) > > [Comfort Inn & Suites Napoleon](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Defiance-Hotels-Comfort-Inn-Suites.h200743.Hotel-Information) > > [Anvil Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Jackson-Hole-Hotels-Anvil-Hotel.h894210.Hotel-Information) > > [Yosemite View Lodge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/El-Portal-Hotels-Yosemite-View-Lodge.h576660.Hotel-Information) > > [Timber Ridge Lodge and Waterpark](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Lake-Geneva-Hotels-Timber-Ridge-Lodge-And-Waterpark.h1043867.Hotel-Information) > > [Yosemite Southgate Hotel & Suites](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Oakhurst-Hotels-Yosemite-Southgate-Hotel-Suites.h3650.Hotel-Information) > > [Wuksachi Lodge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Sequoia-National-Park-Hotels-Wuksachi-Lodge.h893730.Hotel-Information) > > [Cartoon Network Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Lancaster-Hotels-Cartoon-Network-Hotel.h50407269.Hotel-Information) > > [Bayshore Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Traverse-City-Hotels-Bayshore-Resort.h34264.Hotel-Information) > > [Goulding's Lodge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Monument-Valley-Hotels-Gouldings-Lodge.h11899033.Hotel-Information) > > [Bar N Ranch](https://www.expedia.co.uk/West-Yellowstone-Hotels-Bar-N-Ranch.h11548135.Hotel-Information) > > [Travelodge by Wyndham Winchester](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Winchester-Hotels-Travelodge-By-Wyndham-Winchester.h9600.Hotel-Information) > > [Hyatt Regency Santa Clara](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Santa-Clara-Hotels-Hyatt-Regency-Santa-Clara.h4313.Hotel-Information) > > [Sea Crest Beach Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/North-Falmouth-Hotels-Sea-Crest-Beach-Hotel.h25567.Hotel-Information) > > [The View Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kayenta-Hotels-The-View-Hotel.h59418009.Hotel-Information) > > [Isla Bella Beach Resort & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Marathon-Hotels-Isla-Bella-Beach-Resort-Spa.h24101706.Hotel-Information) > > [Riviera Resort Palm Springs](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Palm-Springs-Hotels-Margaritaville-Resort-Palm-Springs.h26011.Hotel-Information) > > [Balmoral Resort Florida](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Haines-City-Hotels-Balmoral-Resort-Florida.h19447044.Hotel-Information)
