"Hometown Inn is a wonderful budget hotel nestled in the hills as you enter Athens. It is not far from the campus/Court Street but due to its location being near the highway, my friend and I took Ubers too and fro without issue. The beds were very comfortable, they have cold AC and the facilities were up-to-date. The man at the desk (I assume also the owner) was kind and helpful during check-in and check-out. The only issue was that the doors and trip along the floors were pretty dirty, BUT everything else was perfectly clean! I think maybe the housecleaning people missed those spots while going through everywhere else. All-in-all, very worth the price! I would stay here again."

"If you’re looking for a place that rewards you for going a little off course, this is exactly that kind of destination. We weren’t able to arrive until late at night, and while the road there certainly had its fair share of twists and turns, the directions provided by the owners turned the journey into part of the experience. It felt less like navigating and more like a quiet adventure—spotting old landmarks along the way and realizing we were exactly where we were meant to be. Once we arrived, a solar-lit pathway gently illuminated step by step as we made our way in, creating a welcoming and almost storybook-like entrance that immediately set the tone for our stay. Our daughter absolutely loved the outdoor setup—especially the swings and bars that gave her a chance to burn off energy before and after our long drive. It was such a thoughtful touch. Inside, the cabin lived up to every expectation. The bedding and accommodations were perfect, and “cozy” truly is the best word to describe the space. Being pet-friendly with no extra charge was a huge bonus. Waking up to the view overlooking the Ohio River into West Virginia was something special. It’s the kind of view you wish you had more time to sit with, and we genuinely regretted only staying one night. We may not know when or why we’ll find ourselves back in Gallipolis, but now we know we have a reason. Do not hesitate to stay here. Take the extra time, go a little out of your way—you won’t regret it. All the best!"

"This is a Motel! It is not a Hotel! It was labeled as Hotel. It was old and poorly maintained. The employee was polite, but the facility is falling apart."

"This is an old property that could use an indoor refresh. The bathrooms are small and the entire decor is very dated. On the plus side, the beds were comfortable and breakfast was tasty. It’s not a breakfast buffet, so be prepared to sit down and order. "

"A great value for what we got! The staff was extremely friendly and even accommodated a special request we had. Room was very spacious and easily fit my family of four. I will say if you don’t like hard pillows, make sure to bring your own. Fortunately, it didn’t bother me, and I slept fine."

"Dirty, noisy and understaffed. Although the sheets were clean the floor was dirty in the hallway and in the room and there was a very prominent skid mark on the easy chair. Thankfully the sheets were clean and the heater was quiet. But people were taking and coming and going most of the night. Amazing this place cost so much for that kind of experience. "
