“Great value for the price”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed December 19, 2012

I have stayed here several times...a little dated but clean. The owners are friendly and very accommodating. The free wi-fi, good slection of channels on the TV, and in room fridge make this a great place for the price. It is a short drive to the the downtown area for restaurants and shopping.

Stayed December 2012, traveled solo

“Nothing fancy but works for me”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed December 15, 2012 via mobile

I have stayed here several times over the last 2 years. Nothing fancy but it works for me. The rooms are clean, the owners are friendly and very accommodating. If we need a late check out they make it work.

The location provides easy access to our hunting lease in Albany. Also easy access in Athens for dinner or supplies.

Thank you for letting us know about the concern you had during your stay at our property. After your call to the property, we checked the entire room including beds, dressers, night stand and all the other items that could be infested with bed bugs. We did not find any infestation nor did we find any signs of other bug infestation. The room you had stayed in was rented prior to your stay and for 4 consecutive days after you checked out. We did not and have not received any complaints from the guests who stayed in the room.

We have a extermination service company that services all our rooms every month and is constantly on the look out for bud bugs and other infestation. If they find any infestation they record and treat accordingly and inform us of the action taken.

“No frills - Cheap - Clean”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed May 29, 2012

e went to Athens for a college graduation in Nelsonville and stayed 2 nights at this hotel. It was dated - probably the 70's with an aqua colored tub, but it was clean, didn't smell bad and the owners are now going private as of June 2 and not associating themselves with Budget Host. If you are looking for an inexpensive, clean place to stay, I say this is the place for you.

Room Tip: This is right along the road, but must be well insulated since we didn't hear any road noise.

“Old and dated but clean”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed May 13, 2012

This is an old hotel and it is a little hard to find and get to. The management is very polite and accommodating. It is also very clean for it's age. Bed was uh....old

The prices were a little high for the value though.

I probably would explore other places next time.
