I loved the hotel, the staff , the location, the room

The room appeared not to be cleaned properly. The trashcan had not been emptied, the floor had not been swept. I am a stickler about many things which made me question had the linen been changed. I was extremely fatigued when I arrived and was only to be in the room 8 hours. It didn't warrant me speaking to front desk personnel. Had I been there for much longer- I would have addressed the situation. My personal silk sheets, Lysol wipes and micro ban are my best travel companions.

Ease of entrance Stylish decor Well situated open area Nice outdoor area Very clean and inviting The Greek salad with chicken was delish I don’t think it had dressing but the build of the salad was superb and the chicken was fire roasted to perfection and I didn’t miss it which is unusual in my experience- it was very fresh

Pillows were too big for me I didn’t ask for a smaller one but I’m sure if they had one they woulda

The room is very nicely put together, , in terms of the interior architecture, and nicely appointed for a hotel in this class. Everything, most esp. the bed and the combination of reading chair and desk chair, was comfortable.

We were there at the same time as a large number of HS students. The hotel did a good job of managing that, but left us with only the choice of a buffet for breakfast, too much food and expensive. Surely, they could have offered breakfast a la carte for the few of us not in the large groups?

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.

Great location, sensible parking, upscale modern vibe. But the staff was the best part, Valencia in particular, she really exemplified southern hospitality. We only knew her for minutes but feel like we left a great friend behind when we left.

Can’t think of a single thing we didn’t like

Very clean. Staff was great. Nice and quiet.

Rooms were very small. Only a tiny trash can in the bathroom only. Location isn't anything special. No microwave in the room. Price was too much for the overall package. You can get the same experience at a hotel close by for half the price. I know due to some colleagues doing such.

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 loved everything about this property. It was perfect. When we checked in they were incredibly efficient and helpful, going above and beyond to help us find the best spots for dinner and get to our college tour on time in the morning.

There is nothing to dislike

Lots of outlets! Comfortable accommodations.

Bathrooms need venting fans. Bathroom door opened awkwardly so it leaked into the room. Shower appeared to have two heads but only one was actually functional.
