Just passing through. One night stay to check out different hikes around the area.
Pros:

The room was very spacious! I loved big open windows! Desk staff was awesome!

Love the shower! They leave beverages in the fridge free of charge.

Cons:

The breakfast guy was right there doing the dishes and such, could hear him from the hall grunting and whatever. It was just kind of strange.

It is a bit noisier being right there by the traffic. But I still seem to sleep pretty decent for someone who's a super light sleeper.

I really enjoyed my stay and within walking distant to restaurants, shops, and OU.
Pros:

I like the friendliness, the parking space, the room space was odd but at the same time unique. It was very creative in a way. It was clean. The bathroom was spacious, clean, great water pressure and hot.

Cons:

The breakfast was not completely ready by 7am when it said it would start. The internet was spotty in some areas of the room, but I was able to manage.

The water pressure in the shower was bad. Had a difficult time rinsing hair.

Pros:

This hotel was convenient ti what I was doing in Athens for. The Breakfast was good mom and pop real food Breakfast not just chain steamed food.

Cons:

Only grip was I was next to the Ice machine and several times during the night it sounded like a coffee purculator "old coffee machine 1970's" which woke me up several times during the night. Other than that I loved the place.
