Athens Hotel Suites

The worst $100 I ever spent. Antiquated hotel; clerk really didn't know what she was doing and had to find help to check us in. The mattress was like jello and there was no toilet paper in the room on check in. Room was on the 2nd floor, unfortunately right above a hip hop nightclub (not part of the hotel). The entire room and bed vibrated violently from the club, after 2 hours my wife couldn't stand it anymore. There wasn't anyone on duty so we left at midnight and drove 3 1/2 hours home to get some sleep!

I stayed there because the OTC was in town, and nothing was available except $500 rooms, and this. It has about 17 rooms on the 2nd floor (walk-up) of an old building. The downstairs lobby has the feel that this place ought to be next door to the bus station. Upstairs is old, but recently and pleasantly remodeled. Furniture was probably salvaged from an older hotel, but it works. Rooms are secure, staff is pleasant, but the maids failed to show for 2 of my 5 days. Towells are flimsy. Rooms have a small but full kitchen. There's a large lighted roof-top deck with tables available for a beer or a smoke. I doubt that I'll stay there again, but if you want to be downtown on the cheap, and you can tolerate less than first-class service and ambience, this place works.
