It was about what I’d expect from a 2-star hotel. The room I stayed in was clean, and they cleaned it every day for the 4 days and nights I stayed. The main thing I didn’t like was the premium price, but I realized I was paying for the convenience of being a 12-minute walk away from the George R Brown Convention Center, which is why I was there. It was nice to have a full kitchen. If the TV experience of a hotel is your jam, you might not like this one, as the TV in my room was a Roku TV without any subscriptions, but more importantly, it was extremely slow, laggy, and buffered frequently. I used my wifi hotspot and laptop to entertain myself instead. The bed was as comfortable as any other hotel bed I’ve stayed in and was comfortable enough for me, which says a lot because I’m a memory foam enthusiast who doesn’t like these types of mattresses in the first place. The staff was friendly and helpful. Overall, I’d rate this as a good experience with a few things that are less desirable but manageable for a short stay.

I actually really enjoyed my stay and I would stay here again however when I did walk in the room, there was a slight odor, secondly, there’s no full length mirror so I couldn’t check my outfit, third there is no elevator so be prepared to walk upstairs, fourth there is no immediate on-site Parking, parking is literally several blocks away so be prepared to walk other than that. The suite was nice. The staff was accommodating. It’s literally two minutes away from the Toyota center so if you wanna wear heels to your concert, you can!!!!!!

There was no internal chain or bar lock on the door. And Sunday morning at about 3:30, someone (a staff member, I think) tried to let themself in. He opened the door (i'm guessing with a master key or new key card he made downstairs). I loudly shouted \"NO! GET THE **** OUT!\" and he finally left. Not safe for guests! Expedia should drop this listing immediately because of the danger the hotel poses to guests.

Location and parking were ideal for a Saturday night outing. The hotel is not eye candy, but very comfortable and the staff were very helpful. The bed was not a great mattress, but sufficient. The kitchen is well equipped and would have been perfect for a longer stay.

I made a 4 day non-refundable reservation via Expedia. Due to weather problems with airlines I arrived on day 3 and expected my room to be available. It had been reassigned. Although I got a room, it was of lesser grade than what I reserved and paid for. The contract via Expedia made no mention of requiring a call for late arrivals.....only if I wanted to change my reservation which I didn't. Hotel staff argued with me about this point that I should not have expected to still have the room even though I had a non-refundable fee. The TV in my room #208 had no remote control to operate it. Coffee maker in lobby had no creamer or sugar to add to coffee. Lobby is not attended at all hours and sometimes did not get a response from locked lobby door with doorbell. My lost luggage being delivered from airport required two separate deliveries because of this. No USB ports were in room to charge my phone, but hotel staff helped me on this by charging my phone in their office. Price on the room was good and I liked the proximity to the Convention center.

The hotel room didn't have standard bedding, water from the bathroom faucet drips only, the carpet in the room is 40 years old. The worst is their heating and cooling system under the window that is very noisy. I survived only one night there.
The only thing that resembles a good hotel is the room price.

The staff was beyond welcoming. The location was great. Close to everything so we were able to walk everywhere. The room was pretty small which was okay for use but the only issue I had was the water pressure. We were on the seconded floor and there was basically no water pressure at all. Just something to keep in mind if you have thick hair because the struggle was real!

Still not sure why Athens the hotel insists on keeping the keycard after check out. I like to keep y keycard and destroy as it has all my personal information. Strange and unnecessary rule.

Downtown value with all the amenities!

Very convenient to George Brown Convention Center and Toyota Center! Walkable to bars and restaurants downtown. Victor at check-in was very friendly and helpful. The renovation is fantastic, and the kitchenette is an added bonus.

Recently Remodeled and Very Friendly Staff

I have stayed here at least twice, and the recent renovations have made it much improved since the first time. As a \"clean freak\", I can find missed spots etc even in the finest of hotels... and the Athens Hotel ranks just as highly as they do in this regard. The real stand-out is the service though - the friendly staff are excellent.

Outstanding Customer Service!

Upon arrival, I was greeted by an extremely friendly staff member named Victor, who immediately made me feel welcome. After I told him I was there to check in, he kindly offered me water and took the time to thoroughly explain everything I needed to know about the hotel and my stay.

What truly stood out was Victor’s attentiveness—he did not let me carry my own luggage to the room and made sure I was completely comfortable and informed about all the room details. His helpfulness and genuine hospitality are exactly the reasons why I would gladly return to this hotel again and again.

Even the next morning, when he saw me, Victor graciously offered me morning beverages. This level of personal attention and awesome customer service made my stay exceptional.

Thank you, Victor, for going above and beyond!

Don't judge a book by it's cover

Me and my husband choose to stay at this hotel simply due to the location. It was extremely close to event we were in town for. We only stayed one night and at first glance we almost didn't t check in. The outside looks sketchy but let me tell you, it was great. The room was clean, no weird smells or sounds. I'm autistic and was very worked about being overstimulate with sounds and smells that come with older buildings. The staff were very helpful, the inside doesn't match the outside. All new appliances and the mirror in the bathroom was everything, I'm actually ordering one for my home cause it was amazing! I can't even describe the features the mirror had. It was small but cute and comfortable and intimate. It was seriously perfect. So glad we chose to stay. Definitely will be back

Friendliest Place On The Planet

The staff, especially John (I think the owner) was sooooo sweet and kind and helpful. Look, this place is not the Ritz Carlton, but I’d stay here again just simply because of how kind and nice the staff was. You can tell that they are family run and operated and that they try their best with what they’ve got. And location and price can’t be beat! If you’re looking for a retro hotel/motel experience that won’t disappoint, I HIGHLY recommend! :) I’ll be staying here again.

Only stay if it’s the only option

The room itself was ok. Things looked clean but in the bathroom there was no hand soap and there was a hole in the wall that had been haphazardly repaired. The in suite kitchen was fine. I saw a bug crawling on the wall and all of the cutlery/cookware was just thrown in the cabinets. At one point on my second day my key stopped working and when I went down to the front desk the lady “working” there couldn’t fix it. She didn’t actually work there, she was just there helping out the owner and didn’t actually know how to do anything. The owner called the maintenance guy to go let me in the room from the dumpster which was just our back and it took him 15 minutes to get back inside. When I got back that night it was still broken, even though it was supposed to be fixed and when I went down to ask why it didn’t work I got scolded for putting my key next to the phone. The room was enough to get me through but after I didn’t feel the safest, but that could be my own anxieties. Everything in the room felt worn out and the tv didn’t work that well. The only thing that would make me stay again would be if everything around the Toyota center was sold out

they lied about free parking; they wanted to charge me to park in a sketchy off-property lot during the check-in process and when I showed them the email confirmation from expedia saying that I would be given a parking voucher when checking in, the guy got super upset at me and demanded the room key back and refused to let me stay there after all even though I had prepaid for the room which was advertised to include a parking voucher. I asked what does voucher mean but the guys was so mad, screaming at me and threatening to shoot me if I did not leave the premesis so I left and the front desk guy (who threatened me) was following me on my way out the door so I kicked the door shut behind me to prevent him from continuing to pursue me. when i called expedia customer service to ask for a refund they called the hotel who claimed they had filed a police report against me for supposedly damaging their door somehow, and that they were refusing to issue a refund so expedia told me the only option I had was to call the hotel to ask them for a refund but i was not willing to do this because of the death threats that the front desk guy made against me so then expedia said my only other option was to dispute the card charge with my bank.

Only complaint was the loud street noises that reached into the room on a Saturday night, but it’s a Saturday night downtown what to you expect right?

Clean bathroom and bedding. Would stay again

Plus room had a kitchen that I didn’t think I would have, was a nice perk

Good location.
I was charged US$40 not foreseen in the reservation. The hotel owner charged me US$25 a day for a parking lot far from the hotel, lying that other parking lots were much more expensive. They were cheaper. The hotel owner only showed up at reception around 9:00, so there was no breakfast when I needed to leave the hotel before that time.

Pleasantly surprised

I was pleasantly surprised at how well this went. I originally got a message from the hotel saying that there would have to be a $100 deposit but they didn't clarify that if you have credit and ID, you don't have to worry about that so if you get that message, disregard it. Room was nice. No elevator so make sure you're don't have issues with stairs. Nice room. Had a fridge, microwave, cupboard and even some dishes that I was able to use for my leftovers

Not what I was expecting

The hotel was nice in that it was smaller and not a lot of noise. It was not what I was expecting. There was no elevator. My iron didn’t work. The bed was hard. It took a while to check in. I paid fees at the hotel that I was not expecting. I was aware of a $25 charge that was to be collected at the hotel. However, when I got there, it was a $40 charge plus $50 for parking. I was hoping for a workout room and pool but I didn’t pay attention when I was making my reservation. The parking gate closed at 8 and didn’t open til 8 am which was very inconvenient. I had to call for someone to walk the 2 blocks to come manually open the gate.
