Thank you for providing a clean and quiet room for a one night stay in Athens. I stopped on my way to Cincinnati, Ohio to see a friend and do some business on campus at Athens State University. I will use your convenient property again next time I am in town.

Liked: Cleanliness
Room was very clean and location was great fo us. Walking to restaurants and right off interstate. Older motel, no frills. We had no complaints but if you are wanting luxury, you probably wont like this. Shower had plenty of hot water and bed was comfortable which was all we needed for a 1 night stay while traveling.
