Location and parking were ideal for a Saturday night outing. The hotel is not eye candy, but very comfortable and the staff were very helpful. The bed was not a great mattress, but sufficient. The kitchen is well equipped and would have been perfect for a longer stay.

I had a great experience staying at Athens Hotels and Suites, not just with the exceptionally-convenient location of the facility, which provides quiet and clean rooms, but with the Front Manager George who was very helpful with the good restaurants near the hotel, and the owner, who was excited with my finishing my 30th full marathon in the 2026 Houston Marathon and kindly offered a late check-out so I could take a shower and had a rest before heading for the airport. I highly recommend this hotel to future Houston Marathon runners and their families as well as other travelers to the city.

I actually really enjoyed my stay and I would stay here again however when I did walk in the room, there was a slight odor, secondly, there’s no full length mirror so I couldn’t check my outfit, third there is no elevator so be prepared to walk upstairs, fourth there is no immediate on-site Parking, parking is literally several blocks away so be prepared to walk other than that. The suite was nice. The staff was accommodating. It’s literally two minutes away from the Toyota center so if you wanna wear heels to your concert, you can!!!!!!

Upon arrival at the hotel, the Hotel door was locked and I was unable to go inside to check in. I called multiple times to the front desk with no answer. Since we were doing activities nearby, I paid for parking in the lot adjacent to the Hotel.

The staff was beyond welcoming. The location was great. Close to everything so we were able to walk everywhere. The room was pretty small which was okay for use but the only issue I had was the water pressure. We were on the seconded floor and there was basically no water pressure at all. Just something to keep in mind if you have thick hair because the struggle was real!
