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.

The front desk worker was very very rude and disrespectful towards me I never even ended up staying bc of unexpected fees after booking it online. He was very very rude raised his voice at me and didn’t listen to anything I said. Will not be going here ever again

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.

The room was just as I expected for the price. The AC worked great. The noise from the highway was not as loud as I expected considering how close it is to the hotel.

Fabulous motel. Great, family-owned business. Room was clean, extremely comfortable, and the customer service was great. Wound up booking an extra night just because my first was so great. Tons of TV channels. and the on-site laundry is so convenient. I will definitely be back.

Staff was very kind. Only problems was the bathroom shower curtain was stained and the surrounding guests either smoking or being noisy. Otherwise a amazing experience for $65 bucks.
