Comfortable, quiet, and helpful staff.
Pros:

Great location and friendly staff.

Cons:

Had a hiccup with trying to get our room cleaned while staying there. Was told it would get done and it was skipped, but it got handled when we went to the front desk rather than asking an employee in the hallway. Also, need to provide separate hair conditioner in bathrooms.

Wonderful Property in Athens
Pros:

Everything. Great location. Fun property either outside lounging area. Cute bar WONDERFUL STAFF Large room and bathroom Front desk staff, bar staff and breakfast staff all wonderful and friendly. Really enjoyed the bar staff and Valencia as server was fantastic. Another breakfast server whose names started with a “T”. Tia maybe. Was also wonderful. All staff great.

Cons:

All was great. The floor in our room could use a good mopping and there was a lot of dust. That didn’t distract from out 5 star feel of property and rest was generally very clean
