We are a family of five and LOVED our stay at Athena! This place is a gem! All staff we met were beyond kind, helpful, and professional. Our room was spotless and perfect, we felt so lucky to have reserved it at the last minute. I would stay here again in a heartbeat. The location was super convenient as well! I cannot recommend this hotel highly enough.
