Better than expected

We needed a quick place to stay for the football game and this place was so much cheaper than other places around. The staff was very friendly and helpful. The room was very clean. The mattress was a little firmer than i prefer, but im not complaining. I would stay again!

Surprisingly happy with stay!

I was hesitant because the outside looks kind of rough, but the inside of the motel room was very clean and the bathroom was nicely updated. Comfortable beds, and the family that runs the motel were very friendly!

Property was not clean plus they said we couldn’t make noise or they would take us out, the floors were terrible and noise so even walking around the room would make noise, terrible experience, we only stayed for one night but would not recommend this hotel at all.

My brother and I got a room on the second floor with two queen beds. I had read many good reviews but was a little skeptical because of the price. When we walked up the stairs and I saw the porch floor was plywood, I was still a little skeptical. But when we got in the room, it was so nice! You could tell it had been fully renovated. It was neat and clean and looked brand new. The beds were comfortable. The water pressure in the shower was great. I wish I could find a little motel like this to stay in every time I wanted to travel! If I ever stay over in Athens again, they have my business.

Avoid staying here! It’s disgusting.

This hotel is disgusting. Mold can be found in the rooms, which smell terrible. Dirty frayed towels, body fluids from the previous guest on the shower walls, filthy carpet, dead bugs on the windowsills and the coffee pot had dried out brown stains from previous use and not being washed.

Basic overnight stay

We basically just needed a room for before and after a concert at Stuart's Opera House. It was just about right for that. The shower was nice, and the room was clean.
