Perfect location if you are visiting Ohio University! Rooms are clean and beds are comfortable. My room was unfortunately across the hall from housekeeping and they were doing some kind of work in that area my entire stay. The early morning sawing and hammering was not a huge deal, but there was a terrible odor of burning electrical wire in the hallway and in my room which made my second night very uncomfortable. Very disappointed for the price I paid.

The best place to stay in Athens
Had a great time visiting the University! The hotel allowed us early check in so that we could drop our bags prior to our tour. In the evening we sat by the fire outside with other guests, drank wine, ate pizza, and socialized. It was a perfect!
