Homewood Suites by Hilton Athens Downtown University Area
6/10 Okay
"The staff was great. Very friendly, welcoming, and helpful when my wife and I had questions about check in/check out. Regarding the building itself, I was disappointed to see there was only one working elevator, which often took a substantial amount of time to make it to the floor we were waiting on. Additionally, we were staying on the 2nd floor, which had signs indicating the floor was “smoke free” but every afternoon/evening it reeked of marijuana. My wife, who is 5 months pregnant, had a hard time walking to our room and often had to cover her face because of how strong the smell was. Overall, while the staff was accommodating, the elevator situation and the pungent smell throughout the hotel influenced our lower rating. "
"The front desk clerk greeted us warmly and was helpful. Check in was quick. The room was clean. Beds and pillows were comfortable. For a motel we were surprised how quiet it was. No noise from traffic or other rooms. No blow dryer which was not an issue just something to note. Bring your own. Breakfast was pastries, bagels, make your own waffle, cereal, fruit, yogurt. Oatmeal packets. Enough to get the day started. If we needed to stay in Athens again we would stay here again. "
"Generally love this hotel - I do feel that at this point (we've been staying here several years - since 2022) some furnishings are getting a bit 'run down', and for the prices they charge they should either keep them in better condition or refurbish. That said - the hotel is overall great. One thing: management should be more aware of events! Giant conferences where people have to be somewhere on time (like All State Orchestra, for example) in particular! I knew from past years to get down for my breakfast with plenty of time, but if people aren't aware that breakfast is a whole 'made to order and not super fast' deal, then they end up entirely missing out on breakfast or risk their child being chastised at rehearsal, or demoted (yup). I felt terrible having to watch several parents wrestle with the choice before them: starve their child before a full morning of rehearsal, try to find something else on the way-ish (there isn't really anything on the way, per se, if you are walking), or (possibly still AND) risk your kid being publicly shamed :-/. The second day they did a buffet, which 1- isn't as good, so *I* was now bummed! 2 - people had already written you off and figured something else out, so I'm guessing it went to waste, and 3 - isn't what people want: people want quick breakfast choices that they can pick up: egg and bacon sandwich (meat-eaters), egg and cheese sandwich (vegetarians), veg/hummus sandwich (vegans), bagels w cream cheese, muffins - boom, done.
