Everything was ok EXCEPT definitely disliked when an elongated "throw pillow" is intentionally placed ON the clean bedsheets (gross) and against the sleeping pillows and at some point I noticed a long black hair (so not mine) before bedtime, and likely from said throw pillow (?)

Property is in a great location and used to be a great option for downtown Athens. But it’s clearly gone downhill under the new ownership. Main issue was that a swarm of ants appeared overnight on the vanity sink counter outside the bathroom. I told staff about it as soon as I saw them that morning and the ants were gone when we came back that evening, but they reappeared overnight on the second night. The room also had no ice bucket room and when I asked for one at the front desk the lady on duty said housekeeping was not on property at the time and she didn’t know how to get me one. I mentioned or the ice bucket the next morning when I reported the ants, but still never got one. Beds were fine although the covers were a bit too short the way they tucked them in. The people I spoke with were all polite, they just didn’t address the issues I brought up. Just sad to see how much this place has fallen off since it was opened as the Foundry. Still has some charm and a lot of potential but it needs some attention.

Average hotel

The room was clean, but the finishes and furnishings were older- the bathroom was tiny. The window air conditioning was set at 66 to keep the room cool… the side of the bed near the ac was cold, but the other side got no air, so it was hot. For the price we paid, I would stay at another hotel next time.

not professional

Rooms are old and need a remodel dirt in the corners of the room. No microwave. Toilet, broken and running the whole time. Accidentally turned the AC on to the heat. And it made a fire. Fire alarm went off. Front desk, clerk, agreed I would check out late however I was awoken by housecleaning. early in the morning. Places ran by a bunch of children. The foundry for food service is closed three days out of each week Not professional. I will never stay there again.
