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.
