This hotel is not maintained well, dirty, and only profitable because of unsuspecting UGA parents such as myself who were enticed by the low price for a game day weekend.

What is a historic hotel like in Athens?

The two are similar. "Historic hotel" is a term often used in the US, whereas "heritage hotel" is common in Asia and Europe.
