The only thing we did not like was the window covering. At night you could see in the room as well as seeing out. Otherwise the bed and pillow were very comfortable and so was the bedding. Breakfast was very satisfying

Our short stay was satisfactory. It's nothing incredible, but it was an affordable place to stay and our room was clean and comfortable. The staff was very helpful and polite when addressed. No complaints at all and I will be considering this hotel again in the future when we visit Athens.

The staff was so friendly. I didn't like the price increase. The Holiday Inn is in line with the price of the other hotels, but the increase of over $100 a night is crazy.

The check in when went fine we stayed two days at the hotel. We came back on the second day expecting the room to be cleaned and new towels etc it was not. The wife went down and got some new towels to replace the wet ones we had at the room, she asked why they had not cleaned the room was informed that because of covid that they only clean before and after your stay. Later she went back down again to get some coffee (didn’t have any) and some toilet paper. Talk to a different person was informed that we were not put on the list because we were supposed to be told to ask to be cleaned and that the people that checked us in to were to informed us, I don't know that's the stories were right. The room was OK the bathroom had a tile broken that needed replacing and the cove molding was come off some had been nailed back up. The pool and hot tub were Ok for there age, the breakfast was very good.

Very nice updated property and spacious rooms. They had lots of sanitizing stations placed around the lobby. The breakfast was great. They had an employee assigned in a separate room to put the food in individual covered containers for breakfast, eliminating self serve. Much appreciated. They outlined their procedures for room cleanings if necessary. We were met by a very friendly man at the front desk Check-in.
