For some reason they don't have vent fans in the bathrooms. This makes for an interesting stay when both parties staying in the room have severe IBS....
The hotel was generally okay, and it seems like the staff genuinely makes an effort to ensure guests have a satisfying experience. However, cleanliness could be improved, and the rooms are quite noisy. I could hear the guests upstairs walking around, and the neighboring room kept their door open, which made things feel less private. Overall, not a bad stay, but there's definitely room for improvement in soundproofing and housekeeping.
Where to start? First room we checked in reeked of cigarette smoke and the chemicals used to hide the odor. Desk clerk didnât believe us so he felt the need to check himself. Moved to another room that the toilet seat doesnât fit the toilet. The heater worked off and on, but the kicker was the phone ringing at 8:00 every morning. (Even after telling the front desk) Then we asked for towels and washcloths and were told we would have to go back to our room to exchange them 1 for 1. Hmmm, we needed extra because the roll in shower leaks out and into the bathroom. Floors were soaked. Honestly, it was laughable how the whole stay centered around the inventory of towels. Pool is dirty beyond dirty. Lastly, not sure how many rooms this place has, but they have 4 tables, with only 14 total chairs. Not one time were there seats available when we went to breakfast. People standing around with their plates waiting to sit. We had 2 nice front desk employees and 2 that didnât seem to want to be there. Complained about the room above us pounding around from 3-6 in the morning and got the response . Sorry, you booked 3rd party. If the last 50 hotels stays, this is the only one I would never recommend or go back to. I forgot to add that the shower rod
Hotel is tucked away off of Atlanta Highway in Athens. Parking was a bit tight when full. Nothing great but nothing terrible. The indoor pool is about the size of a hot tub though.
