Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Everything was great. Only “complaint,” if you can even call it that, was it wasn’t obvious how to get to the front desk from the garage as there are two sides. So a little better signage would have been nice but that also just could have been my fault for missing what they had. Otherwise, great stay and I would definitely stay there again! Oh, and as everyone says, breakfast is fantastic!

Was in town for a medical procedure. Had stayed here on one previous occasion. Showed up early for both stays, but was given a room with no problem on arrival. Channel options on the TV were limited (and no option to use Netflix or Amazon Prime streaming accounts), but that is a minor quibble. Parking deck is convenient and felt safe. Staff (front desk, cleaning, food service) were all welcoming & friendly. Did not take advantage of the breakfast offerings on my first stay, but did so this time & thought the food was very good. Scrambled eggs were delicious (not like the powdered egg options I've had other places), fresh fruit was all very tasty. Waffles tasted good but were soggy rather than crispy. Very pleased overall, will definitely stay here again on my next visit to Athens.
