Very economical for a 1 night stay. Clean enough but shabby. Obvious attempts to upgrade but difficult to put a 'shine' on a sneaker. Would stay again for an overnight, but not for several days.

Good if you need a cheap place to sleep!

The room was relatively clean but there were a few stains on one of the beds and the bathroom had some hair in the floor. Also, the walls were a little beat up. It was a little hard to sleep at times due to the noise outside, and the neighborhood was not the prettiest, but if you need a cheap overnight stay this works. The staff was very nice. Had a problem with our TV and he came up and fixed it for us.

Comfort in Chattanooga

We’ve always stopped over to Athena on our way from Maryland to Mississippi and it never disappoints. It’s not a 5-Star hotel and is in a sketchy-ish place, but it’s always been safe and comfortable. My only complaint is the “Continental Breakfast” seems like the muffins are always served the same day they go out and that’s really not safe, but outside of that it’s a great One Night stop over.

I stayed here about 5 years ago and it was not quite as good this time around. The bed was comfortable and the shower in the morning was good (pressure and temperature). However, there was a leak under the sink and a slight musty smell, one of the towels was dirty, and the shower was cold in the evening. I would still consider staying here again as they were short staffed and perhaps some things were consequently overlooked.

Was not expecting much for the price, but did not expect so bad with the most recent reviews seen. Bed linens they were stained and tattered. Wash clothes were stained. The coffee was horrible, undrinkable. The lobby smelled and was hot. Our door appeared to have been broken into at some point and horribly repaired. Room not cleaned well, floor dirty and used soap left on sink. Only positive note had great water pressure.

Pleasantly Surprised – Great Stay for the Price

I was pleasantly surprised by this hotel! Keep in mind, its a no frills hotel. The place was very clean and had a warm, inviting atmosphere. The shower was amazing—definitely a standout feature. I also appreciated how quiet the location was, which made for a relaxing stay. The front desk staff were friendly and helpful, adding to the positive experience. My only complaint is that the breakfast consisted of prepackaged snacks. However, considering the price, it was still a nice touch to have

Room was clean. Housekeeping was nonexistent. We had to beg for towels and wash cloths daily. If they brought towels and wash cloths it was just a few, not enough for everyone in our room. They also turned off the AC making it warm in the room when we returned. The breakfast was not a continental breakfast, packaged muffins and such.

You can tell the owner of this hotel really puts his heart and soul into it. The showers we read about in other reviews did not disappoint. Coolest shower I’ve ever taken! It was recently renovated so everything is very up to date. He has a cute little garden in the back you can tell is being hand grown. Would stay again!
