Room and staff were great! Outside can be very deceiving, inside is great. Only downside is paying 25 for a parking voucher to park 2 blocks down in a lot with no cameras.

Location and parking were ideal for a Saturday night outing. The hotel is not eye candy, but very comfortable and the staff were very helpful. The bed was not a great mattress, but sufficient. The kitchen is well equipped and would have been perfect for a longer stay.

I had a great experience staying at Athens Hotels and Suites, not just with the exceptionally-convenient location of the facility, which provides quiet and clean rooms, but with the Front Manager George who was very helpful with the good restaurants near the hotel, and the owner, who was excited with my finishing my 30th full marathon in the 2026 Houston Marathon and kindly offered a late check-out so I could take a shower and had a rest before heading for the airport. I highly recommend this hotel to future Houston Marathon runners and their families as well as other travelers to the city.

Liked: Amenities
The staff was beyond welcoming. The location was great. Close to everything so we were able to walk everywhere. The room was pretty small which was okay for use but the only issue I had was the water pressure. We were on the seconded floor and there was basically no water pressure at all. Just something to keep in mind if you have thick hair because the struggle was real!

The hotel is in a very good location, the reception staff is the best I've ever met, super friendly and helpful. I didn't like the look of the hotel, everything looks old and smells damp, they should consider making some changes to its appearance.

Recently Remodeled and Very Friendly Staff

I have stayed here at least twice, and the recent renovations have made it much improved since the first time. As a "clean freak", I can find missed spots etc even in the finest of hotels... and the Athens Hotel ranks just as highly as they do in this regard. The real stand-out is the service though - the friendly staff are excellent.

Definitely not the most modern place, but it worked for a few nights. Also has a full kitchen which is super convenient!
