Room and hotel in general were very clean and modern. Location is the best in Athens for uptown access - a quick two block walk to Court Street. The staff was incredible!!! Every single staff member was friendly, helpful and attentive. They made the stay even more enjoyable. My husband and I were in town to celebrate Valentine’s Day and his birthday (we met at OU 25 years ago!). We walked in the room to find rose petals and chocolates - so sweet! We will definitely be back!

A very nice stay. Room was clean and nicely kept. Only criticism is condition of the side chair in the room. It looked like a dog’s toy, arms bare and covering peeling. We both avoided sitting on it.

The room and building were very clean. The shower was fantastic, the bathroom sink doesn't have a lot of space. We did t get any hand towels and they said they'd bring them up when the laundry was finished, but we never did get those. There was plenty of food choices for breakfast. But be warned...it's NOT soundproof as advertised. We heard loud street noise and loud fighting from someone in a room nearby. Overall, good enough to be that close to Court St and the university.

I would give the clean room and the nice staff 5 stars but I only give the overall experience 3 Stars. Too much noise. Outside of the room and inside of the room . TOO MUCH NOISE!!!! Ruined my sleep. Room 205 is worse. Room 313 is a little bit better but still very bad. The noise is from the heating and the refrigerator. Terrible experience!!!!
