All of the staff was fantastic and we really enjoyed our stay. The food at the onsite restaurant was enjoyable and we enjoyed trivia night too! The workout room was clean and comfortable. Four stars and not five because we had several light bulbs in our room that needed replacing, making our evening time a bit dim.

My wife and i stayed at the Athens Hotel Indigo for a night away with out our kids. The room was not clean but also not dirty ditry. There was a lot off dust under the entertainment ceter with old candy under there. We then found a pill on the ground in plane site. I went to take a shower and the towel was noticeably dirty.
