Top Downtown Athens Hotel Reviews

Comfort Inn & Suites Athens North

6/10 Okay

"We noticed the smell of smoke in the elevator and hallway. The room was ok but the TV didn't work and there was no information on the hotel or surrounding area. Not even a number for the front desk. I went downstairs to request a different room which we got quickly. The TV worked that night but not the next morning! At breakfast the coffee was from a push button machine and it was terrible. The breakfast was pretty good but a microwave would have been useful. The hotel is definitely showing its age."
