Will never stay there again when I come back to Athens. Very disappointed and overpriced .
Pros:

Room itself appeared clean

Cons:

The room had a horrid smell...
Talked to a gentleman at the front desk, he took me to another room and it had the same bad smell. Can't even explain the stench...mold...musty...?????

Very ideal and pleasant
Pros:

The most important thing for me was the staff. They were the most polite, most accommodating and professional people I've experienced in a while. Thank you for making me feel welcome.

Cons:

I couldn't get there until around midnight. I needed a coworker to check in for me and drop off my belongings. It wasn't allowed. It had to be me even though the room was already paid for. But still, I'm sure the policy is there for a reason and that will NOT stop me from staying there again. I just wish that would have been allowed.

Hotel Stay
Pros:

The location was close to where I had to go. Was quiet for the most part.

Cons:

The hotel was dirty. There was dog pee on a lamp and floor. There were very large cock roaches or water bugs. The floor was dirty. I did not trust taking a shower there.
