For the price in this area, it was a great place to stay, almost 1/2 of other hotels that same weekend. Not sure about other times of the year when conventions may be in town. Overall I was happy with my stay.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort

I’d rather sleep in my car.

The dirtiest hotel I have ever been to. They were rude, the bed was broken, the toilet broke, several people had issues at check in, and by the time I got to my room I wish I had been one of them.

Location was good for what we needed. The room was very unkempt. Found previous peoples drug materials and whatnot. We get, you get what you pay for, but it seems like this location is cleaned and sanitize properly. Not sure if I’d ever recommend or return back to that place. Hoping for better for them.

The location is with walking distance of a restaurant, a bagel and coffee shop. I had inadvertently booked a smoking room, and the staff were able to make the change to non smoking. The service is minimal but adequate.

Furniture in the room was damaged. Toilet was broken such that it ran all night. Door to the outside had damage to the inside and gaps around it.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Not worth $30 a night. No lamp in the room, only lighting was a wall mounted light where the entry hall meets the bedroom, or the bathroom light. No facial tissue, lowest quality bath tissue available. I actually drove home after a 40 Watt Club show (1.5 hours) rather than stay in the room.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
I saw previous reviews and was really worried, but there were no other hotels available nearby for my dates. I brought my own coffee maker, got a non-smoking room, and hoped for the best. It was fine! No bugs, clean sheets and towels, refrigerator, microwave, TV, and internet all worked fine. It was relatively quiet and an easy walk to everywhere I needed to go. Toilet was a little iffy, but it is an older, simple hotel. No breakfast or coffee, and may be a bit of cultural difference that affects the way the owner comes across to some, but both he and his wife were kind and accommodating in all interactions with me. Overall, everything I needed and I have no complaints.

Never staying here again

The clerk who checked us in was having computer problems and it took several minutes to finally get the system to take my payment. They had a sign for breakfast at 6am but there was no breakfast in fact the door was locked. When we went to check out @8 am the office door was still locked and we had to ring a door bell to get someone to come and take the keys to the room. I do not recommend this motel at all.

Bare minimum motel experience, but safe, quiet and convenient. Good location, short walk to downtown Athens, and bagel place across the street is great for breakfast. Don't forget to ask for the wifi password on arrival. Shower was only very hot or very cold.

The room would've been fine for the two nights I booked if it hadn't been for the ever-present faint smell of weed smoke. I can't stand that smell, and it made sleeping very difficult. Ironically, I booked a non-smoking room and the manager reminded me three times while checking in that I couldn't smoke in the room. I guess I know why now. I checked out the next morning and didn't stay the second night.
