Hampton Inn Athens

Sandi Boudinot

We moved from Athens year and a half ago so we are back to visit family and friends. This was recommended by another relative who has stayed here, he said so much better then the Holiday Inn here in town. Check in was very fast and the young lady who checked us in was very sweet. Found out another lady behind the counter was a distant relative of my husband's. Room are quite and beds are very comfortable. We will always use Hampton Inns here and other locations as we travel.

Shawna was so warm and welcoming! From the moment I arrived I felt valued and she was extremely courteous! She was so genuine and was professional. She was engaging and you really have a great team. Breakfast workers were also very kind. The housekeeping team. Top notch! Even the man who was mopping. He mopped half of the floor so you could walk in and out on dry floor and then did the other half. But Shawna- she stole the show! You got lucky with so wonderful people!

Positive: The hotel is clean. Staff was friendly and helpful. Negative: I slept fine but my husband said he was kept awake by someone coughing all night. So wall may be too thin if you are a light sleeper.

First of all, the staff was very friendly and understanding during both my stays. But other guests were unfortunately loud and disrespectful. There were many large parties yelling in the halls, running in the halls, and slamming doors until past midnight. And there was a leash-less dog that tried to run into our room. I am allergic to dog saliva, and this was a horrible experience for me and my father. I let the staff member at the desk know, but there's not too much staff can do about these things after the fact. Athens is the halfway point of the 800 mile drive to my folks, and we have always stayed at the Holiday Inn Express at this exit. Based on reviews, we decided to try Hampton Inn for once. Never again. The halls were dirty and the rooms looked like they had a bad makeover: poor paint job, torn blinds, cheap Ikea-like furniture, stains on the bedding, stains on the chairs, scratchy towels, lady bugs in the room, poorly designed bathrooms with oddly placed faucet that sprayed water everywhere and no place to hang a hand towel for easy access. It's on a busy street, but unlike the HIE, there's nothing in walking distance. The only restaurant nearby is a college bar that even a hotel staff member didn't highly recommend. If you need food, you will have to drive out, and it's a busy entrance. There are lots of options about a mile down the street though. Thank you to the kind staff who listened to our concerns, but I will never stay at this location again.
