The room was so nice, beds so comfy. We were able to snag the room with the balcony and that was really nice also. Breakfast was good, lots of options, pool was also clean. Only downside is hot tub was freezing cold. That was the only let down.

The facility was very clean and well kept. During check-in the staff was professional and friendly. Ther was no house keeping on Thursday (Thanksgiving) but Holiday Inn and Suite , Athens managed to increase the room fee by $133.00 over the previous day's rate. ONE HUNDRED THIRTY THREE dollars! Less service cost damn near double the price, one hell of a business model.

Very friendly front desk!

I was coming into town to visit my daughter at school. I was coming in prior to check in and called to see if they might have a room available early. The receptionist was very friendly and said she would hold me the first one ready. When I arrived 30 mins later it was available and ready for me to check in.
