Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities
Beware the 10.00 charge to park in their parking lot! Then I got to bring my luggage up a double ramp to my room…no elevator. I got to listen to a barking dog and people yelling until midnight in a room down the hall. Their ice machine was 2 floors down. Not very accommodating and it was the most expensive stay of all. Lesson learned on this one.

Ok, but not great
The hallways in the hotel smelled awful (floor 2 specifically). Our room thermostat was set to heat on high and 80 degrees when we walked in. And the room smelled musty we had to spray room freshener into the vents. Shower pressure was non existant. Bed and pillows were comfortable and black out shade pretty much did its job. Doors all close very loudly so you hear ever single slam throughout the morning. Location is convenient to downtown Athens and room rate and parking was affordable, so we will probably have to stay again next time we visit. Hopefully some of the issues will be resolved by then.
