Love how close it is to Court St but we visited in the summer. I can imagine it would get pretty noisy during the school year. The walls are very thin, we could hear everything the people were saying in the room next door. Breakfast was nice and the complimentary drinks in the room were appreciated.

Best Stay in Athens

I stay at the Athens Central when I visit my son at OU. This hotel is the best, and my number 1 recommendation for the area. The location can’t be beat, the rooms are comfortable and spacious, the staff couldn’t be friendlier and were most helpful. The hotel is located in a safe area and grounds were clean inside and out.
