Pros

Pet-friendly with direct access to Athens City Dog Park behind the property

All 80 rooms renovated in 2018

Located near multiple craft breweries and wineries

Triple-sheeted beds with choice of firm or soft pillows

Cons

52.5 miles from nearest regional airport

Limited dining options within immediate walking distance

“The staff clearly makes an impression here, particularly the breakfast attendant who takes pride in the morning service. While its location involves a considerable walk to Court Street, the hotel provides convenient proximity to dining options. Keep in mind that reports mention potential issues with front desk service and disturbances, suggesting some inconsistencies in guest experience.”
