The hotel has a modern and fresh look. Nice outdoor area for relaxing and dining. The rooms are spacious and well equipped. A good plus is the fact that the room in not carpeted making it more hygienic. All the staff was very welcoming and helpful

The floor of my room was quite dusty in all the corners, behind chairs and armchair, and on the whole wooden separator between entrance and bed area.

The facility and staff as well as the cleanliness.

Not being familiar with Athens, and not actually having time to look around due to the nature of our visit, I can't honestly comment on the location. It must be perfect for guests visiting campus, but that wasn't the case with us. Perhaps our next visit and stay will provide more accurate information for a critique of this topic.

We stayed in 4 different hotels over a week long trip and this one was by far the best appointed and thought out. It had a hip vibe and was a charming combination of light wood, plants, books, modern and vintage. the rooms had plenty of space for all 4 of us - 2 teens and 2 adults to have some elbow room and breathe.

the neighborhood seemed slightly sketch, but maybe that is just what it is. security was in place for parking and we certainly felt safe on the property.

I loved how nice the staff and the rooms were! Everyone was friendly!

I didn't like having to pay for parking, but $10 wasn't so bad! I also didn't like having to use the room key to work the lights in the room! That was definitely different for me!

Very comfortable lobby, nice outside seating area, friendly staff, especially the woman who made me a complimentary coffee—what a terrific personality she has!

Found 2 Bobby pins on the rug beside our bed (I don’t wear them), and the reading light on my side of the bed had been removed.

Clean. Great location to town

Back gate for deliveries was opened a couple days. Fenced in parking was great, but didn’t help because back gate was opened two or the three evenings I was outside in parking lot

I really enjoyed the bar and patio area.

the cups in our room had very clearly been used as they had lip stick all over them and hair in our bed. the shower water pressure is awful as well for $300 a night I’d expect better.

Breakfast was good and the waitress was excellent. Very pleasant and personable. The hotel was very clean. The Rialto theater is a big plus. Nice venue

The restaurant was closed in the afternoon before dinner

What a wonderful warm property. I was recognized as a valuable guest and the staff was super friendly and helpful. My room was lovely and I absolutely loved sitting on the outdoor patio having an evening glass of wine from the cosy bar. I will definitely be back!

It’s hard to name just one thing, but by far the staff were some of this kindest, helpful people I’ve every met in an hotel setting. The morning staff at the hotel restaurant could not have been any nicer and pleasant!
