Really cute little boutique hotel in the middle of Athens, very near Ohio University. It was a Friday night and college kids were out having fun, so it was a little noisy late at night. Otherwise, it's a great little property. Only disappointment was in the breakfast but then most hotel breakfasts aren't great.

Really enjoyed my time here. Customer service was excellent. The room was clean. The beds were comfortable. It wasn’t too noisy, and they gave complimentary water and sodas in the room, which was convenient.

Disappointed

My sheets were yellow, and the top sheet was torn. There was coffee left in the coffee pot. On the pull out there was food on it and a green lighter. It is probably still there didn’t pick it up. There is no security. It was very expensive for all of this. The bananas on the breakfast thing were black, the creamer curdled in my coffee. We were in Room 215 for a college visit. I wish I would have stayed at the university hotel.

Best Stay in Athens

I stay at the Athens Central when I visit my son at OU. This hotel is the best, and my number 1 recommendation for the area. The location can’t be beat, the rooms are comfortable and spacious, the staff couldn’t be friendlier and were most helpful. The hotel is located in a safe area and grounds were clean inside and out.

Could have been better.

I ran out of tolet paper and had to use tissues. The cook was sick, so breakfast was not up to par, but they gave me a coupon for next time I stay. My room was so close to two busy streets, so could here the traffic outside. The room was great, very roomy.
