They should stop hiring college student as front desk staff or audit their work because staff is more focused on doing their school work than providing guest services

Pros (+) Nice, affordable room. everything seemed pretty clean, Comfy beds and good A/C, quick access to downtown Athens. Super friendly and pleasant staff.
Cons (-) Their building a new building in front of the old. The old building is definitely dated and there are signs of some odd refurbishments over the years. (light-switch plates cut in half to accommodate new wall etc.)
