“Worth the extra few bucks if you care about a nicer stay”
Used Athens twice a few days apart as a stopover point on my vacation. The first time, I stayed across the street from the Best Western, and for the price it was ok because we were only there to sleep. However, on the way back home, I wanted something a little newer, cleaner, nicer, and a little safer feeling - Best Western accomplished all of the above. The staff was very nice, and I plan to stay there again if the opportunity arises.
“Worked out perfect”
We were on our way to Florida. We needed a motel for the night. It worked out perfect. Didn't have to take car anywhere. Plenty of eating places within walking distance. Rooms clean and nice. Front desk was very friendly.
“Just right for a stopover.”
We were on a long car trip from Wisconsin to Panama City Beach, FL and needed an overnight stop at about this place in the journey. It suited our purposes very well. Room was adequate, one daughter used the treadmill in the evening, and breakfast included cooked items. Everything was just right for the kind of stay we needed.
“Not fancy but fine”
It's nothing fancy, but it was comfortable and clean. We didn't actually stay in the room very much at all, but we had two chairs and a table, making eating dinner in the room most convenient (we got take out from Law Ler's in Athens, and it was great both nights--I highly recommend Law Ler's).
“You get what you pay for”
The hotel was a basic off the highway hotel, located just off a strip of fast food restaurants, hotels and gas stations. The room was decent, facilities OK, desk clerk pleasant. We asked for an extra blanket and pillow and they were handed over the desk pleasantly. It was easy to find a place to eat and the location was convenient. A large gap under the door let in some of the road noise, but it wasn't too bad.
“Good staff, good location, interstate noise.”
Great staff. Renovations in progress. Right next to I-65 . However ,you could hear the trucks on I-65 all night long if the cooling unit cut off. Many places to eat nearby.
“Mediocre”
Handicapped room not roomy enough to negotiate between bed and desk/tv stand or with suitcase on stand can't move easily between bathroom door and bedroom. 2 mobile people had trouble with door getting in way when walking between bed area and sink area (outside bathroom). Room is at bottom of stairway and you could hear everyone bumping their suitcase down the stairs in the morning.
“Very disappointed”
The rooms were not very clean. The beds were horrible! The pool was so small that more than 5 adults in it at one time was a crowd.
