The the floor mat was stained in the bathroom. One of the two towels in my room had black stains on them. At check in had to wait approximately 15 minutes for a staff to arrive. The breakfast was good and the staff there was friendly. The hotel is conveniently located to the downtown Athens area. If you are coming to party this is a good location, for any other reason you may want to consider staying elsewhere.
