I booked this hotel for 3 reasons…amenities, location & price. Location was good. Price was alright until after checking in, amenities were falsely advertised. Explanation is simple, pool & hot tub were not working, had not been working for quite some time and no mention upon checkin. Breakfast was told 6:30-10, but this is only for weekends, we did go at 9am there was no bread, bagel or any type of pastry to be toasted, scrambled eggs looked uncooked, sausage patties appeared uncooked therefore the lineup for waffles was very long. I will not recommend this hotel now will I ever stay here again. The corners of the room had not been vacuumed in months it was unclean.
Best thing about your hotel is your customer service! Your receptionist, Juanita, was absolutely amazing! Took great care of my cast and crew… we will be back!
When we pulled up there was an incident next door at the liquor store and the police were there. Very outdated building. I was scared the elevator was going to quit. I could hear everything through the walls so I was up all night. There was mold on the ceiling. And the hotel has to know it's a problem since there was a dehumidifier in the room. Torn curtains, hole in the sheets, rust, dirt, spiderwebs, dirty couch.

It was nice and convenient for the price will definitely stay here again
I love this hotel! My family and I we try to go to visit to Danielsville and this hotel is perfectly close, in Athens to visit around and close to my final destination. This is my second visit here and I’m surprised how clean and safe it feels, both receptionist were so nice and so respectful I felt so welcomed. I’ll be checking my next date in this hotel for sure in a few weeks.
My only, or main, complaint is how insufficient the laundry room is. Only one washer and dryer for occupants of a whole hotel to use. Everytime i went there it was being used.
PROS: Honest staff. We forgot our iPad, and they found it for us and held it until we could backtrack to get it. So appreciate their integrity. Also, they made our beds and changed our towels, which we weren’t expecting during our 2 night stay.
CONS: Dingy, musty, very humid in the rooms, low lighting. All I had for breakfast was an orange. My daughter’s biscuit was rock hard. The eggs didn’t look real (and the ingredient list for them surprised me!).
Adequate for one night stay. Bed was clean and somewhat comfortable. Towels in the bathroom looked dingy. Lighting in the room was horrible. The whole place looked in need of some repairs. (Hole in stucco wall, broken mirror frame, spots on couch etc). Breakfast area was maintained well.
Staff were great. The hotel is worse for wear. The room was not the cleanest. It had a broken towel rod and a random base to a junction box on the bathroom wall. Visible dried food on the phone cord, stains and marks on almost all walls. Furniture was very worn.
