Comfort Inn & Suites Athens North

10/10 Excellent

"I had a wonderful stay at the Comfort Inn & Suites North in Athens! From the moment I arrived, I was impressed with how clean and well-maintained the entire property was. The lobby, hallways, and common areas were spotless, and my room was exceptionally clean and fresh. The bed was incredibly comfortable, making it easy to get a great night’s sleep after a long day. The staff was exceptional throughout my stay—everyone was friendly, welcoming, and always willing to help with anything I needed. The complimentary breakfast was delicious with a great variety of options to choose from each morning. I also enjoyed using the fitness room, which was clean and had everything I needed for a good workout. One of my favorite amenities was the outdoor pool. It was clean, refreshing, and the pool area was very inviting. I especially loved that there were plenty of tables and chairs, along with comfortable lounge chairs where I could relax and enjoy the sunshine. Overall, this was a fantastic stay, and I would absolutely recommend Comfort Inn & Suites North in Athens to anyone looking for a clean, comfortable hotel with excellent staff and great amenities. I will definitely stay here again!"

Country Inn & Suites by Radisson, Athens, GA

10/10 Excellent

"The property was clean, bedroom was quiet. Breakfast was fine. Pillows need to be upgraded, they were small and not firm. Big rug in hallways and lobby looks rough, it would greatly improve appearance of Inn if they'd rip it up and put down some duarble flooring. There were areas of the "rug" that weren't flat, kind of bunched up, which ciuld make someone trip and fall. We would stay here again."
