The the floor mat was stained in the bathroom. One of the two towels in my room had black stains on them. At check in had to wait approximately 15 minutes for a staff to arrive. The breakfast was good and the staff there was friendly. The hotel is conveniently located to the downtown Athens area. If you are coming to party this is a good location, for any other reason you may want to consider staying elsewhere.

The room was clean and spacious, the hotel itself was clean. But the pool area is being used as some sort of storage and so the pool is not functioning. None of the vending machines worked, and the free breakfast was less than desirable. The staff is very friendly and accommodating. Also the towels in our room were stained, but they had been washed so they were clean. It seems like they dont have the financial support they need to keep up with everything.
