Polite professional young man checked us in. Big comfortable room. Nice bed and pillows. Big shower. Location is quietly out of the fray but quick drive or Uber to anything. Liked the parking deck so I could get my car out of the sun. Had some free weights in the fitness center. Good breakfast.

This is probably one of the nicest hotels we have stayed at in Athen, Georgia. It was clean, had a great breakfast, and the rooms were nice with big bathrooms. The location is close to shopping and some good chain restaurants. Everyone likes to stay in the downtown area near the college but I will definitely consider this property next time.
