My girlfriend and I needed a hotel late at night because we found out our apartment was infested with spiders. Not the most pleasent thing ever. After looking around Athens for a place to stay for a few hours (we checked in at around 3am) until morning, we checked in here because it was the cheapest hotel in town. We... more

I'm a business traveler. I travel 35 weeks out of a year, and I usually stay in some pretty nice hotels. I will admit that I am a bit of a "hotel snob". I know that thousands have slept in the hotel bed before me, and showered in the hotel shower-however I NEVER want to see any traces of another... more

My wife is a Hospice Nurse. We live only one hour away from the hotel. In April a series of strong thunderstorms moved through the Athens area. I drive my wife to the various patients because she is the night emergency nurse. We were at a patients house near Hull Ga when a tornado alert went off. My wife was... more

I will NEVER stay here again! I am a peculiar person when it comes down to where I lay my head and what I wash my body with. We had a non-smoking room and I examined the bed to see if I saw anything, but upon inspection, I did not. Or so I thought. While I was sleeping, I swore... more

We have stayed at this location about 5 times in the past, and obviously have been pleased, up until now. I will start off by saying that the rooms have always been clean, and the ladscaping in the courtyard is very well maintained. Our last visit, though, the room we had booked was non-smoking and even with a printed email... more

Most of the complaints in other reviews seem partly true to me. However, my experience was worse. I arrived with a one day reservation made through the Internet. On arrival I inquired as to the price for a 16 day stay, and being offered an appropriate saving on the daily rate, I said I would be staying 16 days. The... more

We checked in and the room didn't have any safety locks at all,had toilet paper in pephole, the wallpaper was peeling off,the tub had a ring around the top, no bed frame. For the price it should have been alot nicer. Had big pool but shady clientel was there. i Had young daughter so i didnt want any trouble, We... more

Previous reviews were a few years old, and, in my opinion, inaccurate. Hotel was clean, comfortable. Down comforters on the beds, with white duvets that were clean and neat. Staff was friendly and very accommodating. Location was convenient to everything. This hotel lives up to standards, and I would definitely return there. more

I was visiting athens for college and decided to stay at Howard Johnson thinking it would be a good stay, boy I was wrong. The staff was unfriendly, had attitude when asked questions. They charged $.95 for a phone charge which they had no explanation for. Their breakfast did not look presentable and had gotten sick from the waffles.I would... more
