It’s a motel.

I pulled up to the hotel not realizing it is actually a motel, which would have been fine had I not been traveling alone. My room was actually inside the hotel portion - so I was not too worried. But the ice maker on my floor was literally right outside the door to my room. Loud and annoying. Walked into my room and though it was clean, it was old and nasty. Stains in the shower, cheap pillows. I ended up leaving - didn’t even unpack my bag.

Did not like- dirt in threshold of room-first impression of room. No pool even though in he ad , it said there was a pool-there were towels on the rack near the pool even though we were told pool had not been open since Covid. There were no cups or chair in the room. Had to pull night stand out to plug in phone and it was filthy underneath. The shower was designed so that water flowed in the dressing area and we had to use towels to mop up the water which left us short on towels. I would never recommend Best Western in Athens, GA

I can only base my review on the exterior entry rooms.The main tower may be better. My first room had small black bugs on the stained sheets. The bedding in second room still did not appear properly cleaned. There doesn't seem to be much care taken for the exterior rooms. Something seems wrong with the plumbing. I could hear noises from the adjoining rooms from the toilet and the one in my room didn't flush properly.The staff was friendly and accommodating. Nice TV in the room. Those were the only positives. I wouldn't book again.

Ok, not good, not horrible.

The joker was easy to find and within walking distance of downtown (20 minutes). But it’s an older property in need of renovation and maintenance. The a/c unit was very loud to the point we had to changed rooms, the staff was very accommodating and found us a new room. Mildew in the bath tubs and stains on the bedding.
