Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
The staff was better than excellent and so was my stay. My only complaint was that the parking elevator was out of order and so were two of the three building elevators.
The hotel was clean. Beds were very comfortable. Gym had good equipment. The breakfast options were very good with healthy choices. Area was walkable around town. Our only complaint was the elevators didn’t work well. They were out of order a lot. We took the stairs a lot because of the wait time for elevators.
The staff service was very good and they were informative about the time the restaurant was open and parking. Very easy to find the hotel and it’s close to the Classic Center and restaurants in downtown Athens
Convenient location and parking, spaciousness of room and cleanliness of all. Breakfast was great and ALL the buffet’s staff was super friendly and amicable.
The downtown location was great . The parking situation was not ideal. The black lady that checked us in acted like she was mad that she was having to work. Very unprofessional.
