4/10 Fair

Not as advertised and inaccessible

When arriving, the hotel was completely inaccessible from the street and appeared closed. When calling to cancel, I was told to go thru the next door gas station parking lot. They were able to email in advance about a $10 parking fee, but not able to email about the closed roads and parking not, nor was there any signage to help. The hotel was also significantly more run down than shown in the photos.

6/10 Good

This hotel is solid and convenient and not as outrageously priced as some hotels on high-demand weekends in Athens. It’s not at all remarkable but not bad either.
Chris, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

Off season so limited staff and service. They were friendly but overworked. Breakfast was not as good as other Best Western locations.
Mark, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Not Expected

The photos look really nice, but when you get to your room, there is a newer part of the hotel and an older part of the hotel. The photos are definitely from the newer part. The first room was in the older rooms in a corner that had two maintenance closets, was loud and smelled like trash. The room was outdated and stuffy, it didn't feel clean. Went to ask to upgrade and the desk agent was really nice, he upgraded me for free. I feel it's a sort of bait and switch with how the rooms are presented in the photos. The second room was in the newer tower, it was larger, more comfortable, felt cleaner, brighter, indoor access, and on an upper floor which I prefer, and it didn't smell like trash. I recommend just paying the extra $12 to get the room in the tower. It's worth it.

The Hotel was nice. Room clean and staff very friendly. My Daughter and I felt safe and comfortable.
James, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

Ok, not good, not horrible.

The joker was easy to find and within walking distance of downtown (20 minutes). But it’s an older property in need of renovation and maintenance. The a/c unit was very loud to the point we had to changed rooms, the staff was very accommodating and found us a new room. Mildew in the bath tubs and stains on the bedding.
Eric, 2-night trip

4/10 Fair

It’s a motel.

I pulled up to the hotel not realizing it is actually a motel, which would have been fine had I not been traveling alone. My room was actually inside the hotel portion - so I was not too worried. But the ice maker on my floor was literally right outside the door to my room. Loud and annoying. Walked into my room and though it was clean, it was old and nasty. Stains in the shower, cheap pillows. I ended up leaving - didn’t even unpack my bag.
Cassidy, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

The machine didn’t work, There was a roach in the laundry also the laundry room was nasty and didn’t even clean my clothes🤔 we’ve asked The front desk to sent someone to clean our room and They didn’t even sent anyone to clean our room? I mean The service was that bad??? Also the breakfast WAS NASTY I mean come on how could you make the breakfast that bad. How come the waffles were the only thing that was good?? Honestly why pay that much for a BAD SERVICE!??? go

8/10 Very good

Decent, clean, good location and price.

Location is great. Parking easy and free. Staff pleasant. Had to ask at desk how to access wifi as room instructions were inaccurate and phone did not call to front desk. Room in main tower was nice and spacious although bathroom was some disrepair (toilet not affixed to floor and wobbled). Could use some updates. However for the price I thought it was a good option.
