Everything was great from the front staff, housekeeping, and those that prepared breakfast. My only two minor complaints would be the small bathrooms in a king size room( felt like a cruise ship bathroom) and they need to update the furniture in the rooms! So yes definitely a solid four star!

Good location, walking distance to most bars, clean rooms. They do an additional $60 holding fee on your card and charge you $10 a night for parking, in the hotel parking lot.

Disliked: Staff & service
TV remote didn’t work correctly. Water pressure in shower and hot water were terrible. I asked to change rooms and the front desk said they would be able to after more rooms were cleaned. She said she would call me and let me know when that happened. They never contacted me. Poor customer service.

This is our go to hotel in Athens due to location and price. It is walking distance to downtown and typically priced below other hotels in the area.
