the general manager, Rick, greeted me upon arrival. I questioned the rate he gave me, believing I had booked online for less. I had forgotten to bring my confirmation sheet. He tried to check with the national office, but they showed the same rate. even though I could not prove I had booked for a lower rate, he trusted that... More

My wife and I stayed at the Holiday Inn Express in Athens over Easter weekend to visit family nearby. The hotel is fairly new and the rooms are clean. The breakfast is free but just the usual standard hotel breakfast. (Some hot food). The hallways weren't the cleanest and I saw a laundry room near the elevator that was really... More

I had a 2 night stay here as I'm a PC Platinum member with points to burn and the inlaws we were visiting had a full house. Overall I liked the place but there were some small issues. Greeting was great, they upgraded me to an expanded room/suite which was nice. They had a food reception the night I arrived... More

The rooms were clean,BUT, the pool and hot tub weren't working and one of the dryers wasn't working. Housekeeping didn't leave toilet tissue in our room one night, so I ask the front desk to bring some to us. She said she would right away, but never did.

The room was clean and roomy and updated. My husband and I were passing through for one evening. Althought the hotel is located practically in a shopping center, it was quiet. I would not want to spend a lot of time here but for a place for the night, it was great.

I have been staying here for the pass 2 months. The swimming pool and gym hasn't work since i got here. The employees that this hotel have are great Veronica, Danielle, Desteny and Rick. I think that this is a really bad problem because there is nothing else to do here at Athens.

After a day of shopping at Canton FIRST MONDAY MARKET DAYS, we were happy to spend a night here. Large room. Very quite on a Sunday night of Labor Day weekend. The in-wall AC unit was very LOUD, loud enough to distrub our sleep and the ice machine on the third floor was not producing any ice!
