The check in was okay. The hotel room was actually pretty nice, a little dated but nice. My main concern was the safety. I was scared our car was gonna get busted into and be on cinder blocks when we woke up. There was also used nasty underwear at the bottom of the stairs.

"Renovated" room looked like it was still under construction. Floor around ac had water damage and was spongy. Ac did not cool the room well. Had strange policies against children. Made you list the names of people in the room. Parole officer came to the property and went to several rooms.

Don’t even think about it!

Not as shown in pictures. Pool has no water - just dirty walls, sketchy people walking around, & non-smoking room smells of smoke. Overall this place is a dive! Don’t waste your money.

Athens Lodge..Don't waist your money.

First the address was not found on Google Map or on our navigation device. Called for directions and the hotel desk clerk could not give us clear directions. It was after dark, raining and foggy and difficult to find. When we did finally find the road the only hotel was "The Red Roof Inn". I called the desk clerk again to clarify and told him I was looking for his hotel the "Athens Lodge" he said, "Oh yeah, the sign hasn't been changed yet...This is the Red Roof Inn but will be changing to the "Athens Lodge." Very confusing and not a very helpful person. I told him I would be right in but when I came in the front was locked. He was busy doing something and basically acted like he did not see me. Finally he unlocked the door and let me in. I had already registered on the internet but he wanted to make a copy of my credit card and ID on the copy machine, both front and back. (Great way to have your identify stolen). I was given my key and went into the room. 11 p.m. and very tired. I could here every foot step of the neighbor above because the floor do not have carpet on them. The Beds were poorly made and the mattresses are lumpy. The water in the shower was leaking steady flow of hot water and the sink girdled from the water draining in the bath tub. Took a shower and the towels in the bathroom were the size of a kitchen hand towel. (I'm not kidding here). The roughest towel I had ever used and still could not get dry. About 3 am the fire alarm went off!

Hurricane Athens

Booked a room for my daughter who was having to evacuate from hurricane Irma. Called the hotel spoke with Ben told him she was coming and that I paid for the room. He was a mess his staff quit. But he assured me if she had the email all would be ok. After driving 16 hours she arrived and was told there were no rooms and to get a refund from Expedia. Today Expedia emailed me and said Athens denied the refund! I was livid!

This motel is horrible. I travel quite a bit and have never stayed in a place where no towels were available. None were delivered after being requested. Television and internet do not work. Parking area is trashy as is the appearance of the motel itself.

Hotel not ready for business

apparently, the hotel with recently purchased and the owner was forced to open the hotel by the lender. The hotel was nowhere near ready to be open. Hotel was very messy, rooms are nowhere near ready to be used. The bed was embarrassing with all the stains on the mattress. Internet did not function, and the ever ties breakfast was nonexistent because the owner " forgot to order". Red roof inn should have investigated this before putting their name outside.

Horrific Hotel

Our stay was a disastrous, horrendous experience from the moment we arrived. The room we were in had significant ceiling damage. The stucco was peeling, hanging and falling from the ceiling. We were very cold through the night as we couldn't turn on the heater because it was covered in the fallen ceiling debris. We had to ask the staff to change the sheets as they had clearly been slept in and were wrinkled, stained and dirty. The toilet seat was stained and there was a hole in the door to washroom. When we thought we could finally settle in we discovered the washroom was stocked with virtually no toilet paper and the remote for the tv was missing. It was unbearable experience and its difficult to believe we actually paid for such experience.

Hotel is in transition to a National Brand Chain

This hotel, now under new ownership, was previously known in the area as a place for transients and drug users. The building has been cleaned up, although we did find roaches in 2 rooms. The towels we scarce and worn with holes and stains. Same with the bed sheets which we had to have changed upon arrival. There was no toilet paper for two days. I will say the staff was very accommodating to all our requests. The staff is trying hard to change the image of this place. We stayed 4 nights and, by the last night, we had everything we needed.

Horrible motel

We did not stay at this motel. We had been told it had been renovated. Before going to the room, I asked the young lady what time breakfast was served. She replied she didn't know if there would be any breakfast or what time. When we walked into the room it smelled of cigarette smoke, there were flies, the AC did not work and the commode seat was broken. It was a very disappointing experience, to say the least.
