This property is built on an older motel style, i suspect a former rodeway inn or similar hotel. Despite the property's age, it is kept in good order. My room was very nice, modern style with a multi-faucet shower! The staff are quiet folk but very friendly and polite. Everything in my room worked, and was clean. Now, no place is without its caveats. This location is next to a busy road which you’ll find running rampant with the sound of modified exhaust well into the evening. The AC units are older below window style, so it pulls in the humidity with the air. And maybe this is a personal gripe, but the water tasted a bit over chlorinated. Maybe thats just how chattanooga's water tastes? I didnt get sick or anything, and i drank quite a bit, but it was definitely not a great mouth feel. Relatively small things considering the value of the room and the updated room amenities. Would definitely stay again!
Multifunction shower was amazing!!!

Nice inexpensive property

The only thing I think could be improved at this property is refreshing the towels, they are clean but need replacing. The room is clean, bed comfortable, bedding clean. This is not a star property so guests should manage expectations. It's quiet, near shopping, management is nice. I was able to catch up on sleep which was my goal. They have direct tv and that goes out when it rains hard but good channel lineup. Overall good.

Very economical for a 1 night stay. Clean enough but shabby. Obvious attempts to upgrade but difficult to put a 'shine' on a sneaker. Would stay again for an overnight, but not for several days.

Good if you need a cheap place to sleep!

The room was relatively clean but there were a few stains on one of the beds and the bathroom had some hair in the floor. Also, the walls were a little beat up. It was a little hard to sleep at times due to the noise outside, and the neighborhood was not the prettiest, but if you need a cheap overnight stay this works. The staff was very nice. Had a problem with our TV and he came up and fixed it for us.

Comfort in Chattanooga

We’ve always stopped over to Athena on our way from Maryland to Mississippi and it never disappoints. It’s not a 5-Star hotel and is in a sketchy-ish place, but it’s always been safe and comfortable. My only complaint is the “Continental Breakfast” seems like the muffins are always served the same day they go out and that’s really not safe, but outside of that it’s a great One Night stop over.

I stayed here about 5 years ago and it was not quite as good this time around. The bed was comfortable and the shower in the morning was good (pressure and temperature). However, there was a leak under the sink and a slight musty smell, one of the towels was dirty, and the shower was cold in the evening. I would still consider staying here again as they were short staffed and perhaps some things were consequently overlooked.
