Fine - nothing special

It’s essentially a remodeled motel. There are 2 stories and both are facing the outside parking - known as a down and out motel. The lobby is interesting and small and the staff is less than friendly. For the price we paid it was fine. I would definitely look around before I booked this again.

Hotel Abacus was a wonderful stay for our family for the night! From the front office staff being extremely welcoming to the cute, comfortable room. We loved the location, with it being very walkable to downtown Athens. I was honestly nervous about some recent reviews but our room was clean, very quiet, and got a good night of sleep. Looking forward to staying again.

Check in was at 4:00 but no rooms were ready. Said they would text me when it was ready but never did. Showed back up after dinner and was able to check in. Front desk told me there was a $15 voucher for breakfast, but saw today that I was charged for it. Waffle was cold and the dining area did not open when they were supposed to which put me on the road later. Front desk clerk was rude and said they will open eventually

We have VIP access with hotels.com and it was listed that we would get benefits like free breakfast. We got $10 towards the cafe, that does cover breakfast for 1 so that was disappointing and not fair.
