Snow Day

We traveled to the area specifically to see snow with our 4 year old granddaughter. We stayed 4 days and 3 nights. It was a great visit. The room was comfortable, warm and very quiet. We had a nice breakfast every morning. There were several rooms besides our that had pets with them and we never heard a sound. We would defiantly stay there again.

Down hill

We have stayed here for over a decade while traveling to and from home. It’s the same mattresses or just crappy ones now. Nothing has been updated. It’s always been reliable until the last couple of years. I think this will be our last stay.

Not up to par of previous stays with Best Western.

Room was quite dated, typical of the pet-friendly rooms?

Nadia, Heather and Karen. All three of them deserve a raise and promotion. From. The moment I talked to them on and off for about a week it was amazing. The southern hospitality was amazing, they helped me get a rate that beat my Expedia one. They helped my elderly auntie get the perfect room. They made sure to note every detail I asked for. Only down side was room 113 wasn't clean. How ever Karen took ownership of it, apologized and helped make our day. It wasn't about the money that made everything great. These three seemlessly helped make my sons, Auntie, cousins and myself our stay memorable. If we ever come back to Athens Alabama, definitely will be coming back here. Thank yall!
