Diana
We chose this Inn because it is inexpensive. Just needed a place to sleep overnight. The only trouble was the AC was leaking really bad. We had to turn it on when we got there and left it on while we were out that evening. When we got back there was water dripping down the walls, the carpet was wet, and there is an outlet underneath. We turned it off, but it was late, so we waited until the morning to let the owner know. Hopefully they get it fixed; it got pretty warm in there overnight. Otherwise, things were clean, the shower was decent the bed was comfortable.
Pamela
The rooms were clean the staff was friendly air conditioning worked great
Josh
Staff was ok. Room needed some serious love/updating. Lots of loud road noise. The write down your credit card info on a piece of paper. They take a photo copy of your id. Not a fan of this place.
Aaliyah
Staff was very rude
PATRICIA
Close to Ohio University
Greg
If you want a clean room on a budget with a fridge, a microwave and a TV and an AC unit you can run all night without it kicking off and on then this is a great spot. The rooms have harsh white lighting, the mattress is firm, the bedspread and blanket are thin and the cheap foam pillows made me glad I brought mine from home but for the price I couldn’t complain much. I’ll be staying there from now on.
Dorothy
Great place on a budget working travelers
Nicole
The staff was very kind and it’s a great price.

It's a nice older newly remodeled moter inn , Happy to give a 5 star for the stay only reason 4 star for amenities is room wasn't cool at check-in with the humidity of southern Ohio it took a while for room to cool down.
Very friendly with the hospitality the area in known for.
Excellent choice for travelers seeking a comfortable budget friendly stay.

Lee
Great place. It's old-fashioned as far as the building and the parking, not a chain motel. However, it was clean, easily accessible off a main highway, close to downtown, and the staff was very friendly. Parking is right in front of your room door, which I liked. I would definitely stay here again anytime I'm in Athens.
Dana
Very clean nice rooms. I plan on going back next year
William
Very clean and nice rooms
SANDRA
Fairly convenient and good price. No amenities. Just a place to sleep.
Aaron
Don't be shy of this older hotel. The staff was super nice and the rooms have been updated and are very clean!
John
Great place to stay
Jerry
This was a clean no nonsense facility designed for overnight stays like most motels. Price was extremely reasonable but don’t expect any additional frills.
David
It was not bad for the price. It was clean and very quiet. I will stay again.
Anna
Staff was friendly. Parking was difficult as it is one way in and out. Rooms heat would not turn on. Lots of road noise due to just being of 50. Room was clean and tidy.
Natalie
Hometown Inn is a wonderful budget hotel nestled in the hills as you enter Athens. It is not far from the campus/Court Street but due to its location being near the highway, my friend and I took Ubers too and fro without issue. The beds were very comfortable, they have cold AC and the facilities were up-to-date. The man at the desk (I assume also the owner) was kind and helpful during check-in and check-out. The only issue was that the doors and trip along the floors were pretty dirty, BUT everything else was perfectly clean! I think maybe the housecleaning people missed those spots while going through everywhere else. All-in-all, very worth the price! I would stay here again.
Adam
Easy all around. Good stay.
Faith
Parking right in front of the door. Did not use laundry facilities
Mark
There is no continental breakfast.
Teressa
Needs an update. Bathroom has baseboard apart from the wall, cracks in wall around tub, bathroom door doesn't shut and there is no lock on door.Has a/c unit hanging near sink, bed was very uncomfortable and walls are thin. No vending machines but office keeps a couple of bottled pop for sale in small fridge. Ladies in office are very pleasant and room fit our needs for the 2 nights we were there.
Karen
This is a basic hotel/motel room. Stayed 2 nights recently for a graduation ceremony, close to Ohio University. The room was clean, towels were changed out, lots of hot water, beds comfortable. Can hear traffic from highway but didn’t interfere with sleeping
Jennifer L
The room must have recently been redone- painted, new carpet, bathroom redone with new shower, new furntiture. I was pleasantly surprised. The staff was pleasant and helpful.

Brandon
Inexpensive place to stay
Brittany
The room was very clean. Really liked that the lamps had charging ports for devices. The beds were comfortable and the sound from the highway wasn't bad when sleeping. I would like access to more trash cans, there was just a small one. Overall, a great stay when we were in a pinch and needed something quick for an overnight stay.
Amy
The room had a terrible odor- we ended up not staying there bc it was so bad.

Andrew
Great value for the price. Safe, but just a little loud in the mornings from the interstate
Deborah
We stayed one night, I was a little skeptical I never stayed at a motel and the outside was old and dirty. It’s right off the highway. I was pleasantly surprised how clean and updated the room was. Something’s were old like the phone. The staff was friendly and explained everything and answered my concerns. It was worth it for one night and the price was good.
Chris
Clean and convenient
Joseph
Clean and close enough to campus.
Kathleen
Room was clean. Friendly service. Responded quickly to questions about working the television.
JOAN YVETTE
Family operated business, old but very clean. Owners are hands on .
Nicholas
Room wasn a little nicer than expected, but still very much a motel. Much quieter than expected, given it's right next to the highway.
Serena
Very clean room and front office person was very friendly!
Robert
Property was very clean and safe but the location was remote and right next to the highway. Not a big deal but there is no way to walk to anything.
Casey
Outside is run down but the rooms have been
Jeff
The building could use a facelift. The room was very clean and comfortable.
Rhonda
Nothing unique. Was able to get a good nights sleep and a warm shower. Sraff was great.
robert
Yes
Thomas
This room was clean and the staff was nice but the room was way over priced, bathroom door didn't close and the only amenities was the coffee in the room. For the price of the room they should provide a good breakfast. Again over priced for what you get. We are at a Best Western as of this writing for less of a price and they serve a hot breakfast in the morning, also a much bigger and comfortable room.
Marc
SMELLY & GROSS. Stay far away!
James
The outside looks like a shady motel but I was pleasantly surprised by how clean and modern looking the rooms are. Beds are comfortable. Rooms have nice refrigerators with a mini freezer. For the price it was a great value.
karen
Great value for the price. Clean. Recently renovated. Comfortable beds. Microwave, mini fridge, coffee maker. Friendly staff. Highway noise is manageable with fan/AC.
Tony
Safe Parking was fine staff friendly
Sonya
Basic motel. Dated, but otherwise clean. Just wanted a place to sleep for a couple nights. Very convenient to OU for Family Weekend.
Rebecca
Close to the pawpaw festival.
Steven

Clean and comfortable. Had a sewer fly problem from drains going dry.
Steve
average
the staff turned off the air conditioning, so that I returned back to an 80 degree room. clean a nd good value for the price
Brandi
Better than expected
We needed a quick place to stay for the football game and this place was so much cheaper than other places around. The staff was very friendly and helpful. The room was very clean. The mattress was a little firmer than i prefer, but im not complaining. I would stay again!
Patrick
Staff friendly and happy to help.
Linda
Staff was very nice and the room is clean. The motel is right beside the expressway so you do hear traffic. Not a big deal for me. Good place to start whiling getting to my destination
Christie
Surprisingly happy with stay!
I was hesitant because the outside looks kind of rough, but the inside of the motel room was very clean and the bathroom was nicely updated. Comfortable beds, and the family that runs the motel were very friendly!
Maykel
Property was not clean plus they said we couldn’t make noise or they would take us out, the floors were terrible and noise so even walking around the room would make noise, terrible experience, we only stayed for one night but would not recommend this hotel at all.
Patrick
It was very easy to check in and check out.
Linda
My brother and I got a room on the second floor with two queen beds. I had read many good reviews but was a little skeptical because of the price. When we walked up the stairs and I saw the porch floor was plywood, I was still a little skeptical. But when we got in the room, it was so nice! You could tell it had been fully renovated. It was neat and clean and looked brand new. The beds were comfortable. The water pressure in the shower was great. I wish I could find a little motel like this to stay in every time I wanted to travel! If I ever stay over in Athens again, they have my business.
Patrick
The room was convenient and comfortable.
Rebekah
The front desk worker was very very rude and disrespectful towards me I never even ended up staying bc of unexpected fees after booking it online. He was very very rude raised his voice at me and didn’t listen to anything I said. Will not be going here ever again

Avoid staying here! It’s disgusting.
This hotel is disgusting. Mold can be found in the rooms, which smell terrible. Dirty frayed towels, body fluids from the previous guest on the shower walls, filthy carpet, dead bugs on the windowsills and the coffee pot had dried out brown stains from previous use and not being washed.
Diana
Basic overnight stay
We basically just needed a room for before and after a concert at Stuart's Opera House. It was just about right for that. The shower was nice, and the room was clean.
James
Hometown Inn
The room was just as I expected for the price. The AC worked great. The noise from the highway was not as loud as I expected considering how close it is to the hotel.
Brent
Ship Shape
Joe
Before booking on Orbitz I called a female answered said I could have my ESA Dog as long as I had a letter from my doctor requiring my use of one as a disabled veteran. I then booked it and stayed two nights no problem then woke up to a male saying it don’t matter that I can’t have it but he will allow it this time. Literally all I did was stay long enough in the room to sleep and shower.
The room was as clean as a place like that could be I guess. Out of 4 nights they maybe attended to the room 2times. The attitude of the guy there was very off putting.

There’s so much to like about this property, it’s quiet, nice parking and very convenient place and they just updated their rooms a good place for a nite rest
Mai Lien
Fabulous motel. Great, family-owned business. Room was clean, extremely comfortable, and the customer service was great. Wound up booking an extra night just because my first was so great. Tons of TV channels. and the on-site laundry is so convenient. I will definitely be back.
Roger
Nice clean room. Slight confusion at check-in. Requested 2 beds and they had me down for 1. Changed room to 2 beds in 2 minutes.
Gary L
Property was very clean and seemed good. Little dated but was a good hotel. Too close to the highway for me. I would recommend this hotel.
Griffin
Staff was very kind. Only problems was the bathroom shower curtain was stained and the surrounding guests either smoking or being noisy. Otherwise a amazing experience for $65 bucks.
Gary
Great place at a fair price.
Sam
Renovated room. Extremely bright and clean. Bed is very comfortable. Linens are fresh and new. Third time I have stayed here. Will stay again If I am in the area.
michael
Excellent staff and location
Frederick
Very affordable, little, family-run hotel. Nothing fancy but it was clean, quiet, and everything worked. Very close to Ohio U campus, great spot for dropping off, visiting, or picking up your student.
Lewis
The hotel management team was really nice and professional
april
convenient property next to the highway cheap stay pleasantly surprised how clean it was and they updated facilities.
Verified traveler
Was adequate and reasonable priced. Nothing fancy. Beds were comfortable.
Bethany
Indian owners are a no go for me
They let themselves into my room while I was gone. Then lied about it. Didn’t do any housekeeping. They were just snooping around for no reason. They saw that I was a smoker and wanted to make sure I wasn’t smoking in the room. I had a chair and ashtray sitting outside.
Verified traveler
Don’t stay here
Old run down motel along a very busy and noisy road
Diana
Decent place to stay!
Marybeth
Very run down and dirty. Sheets were not clean on either bed. Definitely would never stay there again.
