Rooms are old, drafty to outside. Asked for non smoking room, but it was smoking. Just felt kind of dirty. More

This was my first visit to Athens, so I wasn't sure what to expect. I know that often facilities located close to downtown or college campuses are often abused/ neglected because they're always rented anyway. ( as some of BW's neighbors are reviewed) My room was clean and comfortable. Staff was very helpful and courteous. I would gladly stay again,... More

We were passing through Athens on our way south, came across this hotel here and decided to book it for the price & because it took in our dog for a reasonable fee. It's an older motel with flowery bedspreads and 'popcorn' ceilings but the room was clean and comfortable. Call me strange but the sheets were clean and smelled... More

I have stayed at hundreds of different hotels with my job, but this Best Western in Athens is such a change from most all of the other hotels I normally frequent. The employees that man the front office are exceptional, knowledgeable and always go out of their way to help. The rooms are really well kept and very clean....even large... More

This is a very safe establishment and I have never felt unsafe or unwelcome. The staff is excellent especially Carla. I had to fly out of state on anemergency. I was in need... More

The hotel met my expectations for this price range. It was clean and comfortable and the staff was friendly. The continental breakfast was decent (waffles, cereal, pastries, bagels, etc), although mostly carbs with very little fruit, yogurt, or any other options. The pool was nothing special, but was nice to cool off in the middle of July. My only complaint... More

We are glad that you enjoyed your stay. We do apologize that we did not honor the same rate as Priceline offered for a future reservation. I am encouraging our staff to offer a different type of discount in order to encourage repeat business. More

This hotel is in a good location near the town center. We were driving in from Florida and had no trouble finding it. The seasonal pool was closed during our stay which was a bit disappointing even though the air temperature was still in the mid 70's (for us Canadians that's still warm!). The rooms were very good value and... More

I have stayed at this hotel for many of my business visits to Athens. It is a very safe and comfortable place to be in. They have laundry services too and free continental breakfast. The breakfast items are fresh and replenished often. I have stayed at other similar priced hotels in Athens for my other trips and by far, I... More

Stayed one night here as part of a roadtrip, and couldn't have picked better - rooms were beautifully furnished, and the jacuzzi in the room was a welcome addition. Flat screen TV was a nice change from the norm in these low-cost motels. Breakfast was excellent, with fresh fruit and waffles available along with the usual motel fare. The pool... More

I was looking for a lower-priced base while my son and I checked out the university and decided (based on TripAdvisor reviews) to stay here. It's obviously not an Omni or Marriott but it WAS nicely decorated, very clean, and close enough to campus. The included breakfast offered cereals, boiled eggs, do-it-yourself waffles, bagels, toast, and fruit. The only drawback... More
