Recently Remodeled and Very Friendly Staff

I have stayed here at least twice, and the recent renovations have made it much improved since the first time. As a "clean freak", I can find missed spots etc even in the finest of hotels... and the Athens Hotel ranks just as highly as they do in this regard. The real stand-out is the service though - the friendly staff are excellent.

The door to the restroom wouldn't close. No Continental breakfast. And had to pay for parking. Beds are full size not queen. But great location might use again and just request a different room.

We came here for the Enhypen concert in Toyota center and it was less than 5 minutes of a walk. Super convenient and love that the room has a kitchen to cook. The staff was super friendly, special thanks to Victor. Will definitely be coming back and recommending this gem!!

Outstanding Customer Service!

Upon arrival, I was greeted by an extremely friendly staff member named Victor, who immediately made me feel welcome. After I told him I was there to check in, he kindly offered me water and took the time to thoroughly explain everything I needed to know about the hotel and my stay. What truly stood out was Victor’s attentiveness—he did not let me carry my own luggage to the room and made sure I was completely comfortable and informed about all the room details. His helpfulness and genuine hospitality are exactly the reasons why I would gladly return to this hotel again and again. Even the next morning, when he saw me, Victor graciously offered me morning beverages. This level of personal attention and awesome customer service made my stay exceptional. Thank you, Victor, for going above and beyond!

Rooms are freshly renovated with new appliances and fixtures. So new the oven still has a pamphlet in it. Real thick comforter and more pillows than Ive ever seen in a hotel room. Well temperature controlled and the water pressure is no joke! Victor the counter guy is very nice and super helpful. Im not sure about the history of the building but say hi to Mr. Casper the spirit with the handlebar mustache for us... he's very curious about us 3 weird comic con ladies but was benign. He likes the fan to stay on. 😘

Don't judge a book by it's cover

Me and my husband choose to stay at this hotel simply due to the location. It was extremely close to event we were in town for. We only stayed one night and at first glance we almost didn't t check in. The outside looks sketchy but let me tell you, it was great. The room was clean, no weird smells or sounds. I'm autistic and was very worked about being overstimulate with sounds and smells that come with older buildings. The staff were very helpful, the inside doesn't match the outside. All new appliances and the mirror in the bathroom was everything, I'm actually ordering one for my home cause it was amazing! I can't even describe the features the mirror had. It was small but cute and comfortable and intimate. It was seriously perfect. So glad we chose to stay. Definitely will be back

Check in was quick and easy. Pretty hard to find if you’re not looking hard for the sign on the building. Parking is 2 blocks away from building, rooms are small and you can hear the cars on the road right outside the window. Bed is comfortable and staff is very friendly.

We had a last minute housing issue while traveling and booked here in a rush. The staff was so accommodating and friendly! Easy walk to convention center and lots of restaurants and bars. Definitely not the most modern place, but it worked for a few nights. Also has a full kitchen which is super convenient!
