This was the only reasonably priced option I could find in Athens this weekend. It was extremely average on all dimensions. I was traveling alone, so it was fine for me as a solo man. But my wife would not have liked the property and I’m glad she wasn’t with me. It just needs a total makeover from the rooms, to the parking, to the lobby, and some amenities.

My socks were black from the floor about 10 minutes after we walked in. They have rooms in a newly built tower (I assume look like photos online) but if you get put in the older rooms, they are pretty bad. Breakfast was decent - good coffee and they bring in Chik-fila biscuits.

The image on thumbnail representing the property is only the lobby and the majority of the rooms are hidden behind it. I thought they had renovated the old property when I saw this picture but nope. Insects parts on bathroom floor from recently squished bug. The shower didn’t work. The handle to turn on the water was busted. Fun thing to discover in the morning. Brought it to the attention of front desk attendee, response was “that sucks, sorry man.”
