What guests think

Across recent reviews of Days Inn by Wyndham Athens, travelers describe a budget, no-frills stop with notably friendly staff, mixed room conditions, and a very limited grab‑and‑go breakfast, with some road noise and visible renovation work around the property.

Cleanliness feedback is inconsistent, ranging from very clean rooms to recurring reports of dirty floors, hair in bathrooms, pests, and smoke smells. Room comfort varies; many found beds comfortable, but others cited dated interiors and maintenance problems with fixtures or appliances. The location is convenient to I‑75 and several dining options. Overall, expect a basic, affordable stopover with trade‑offs.

Room was dirty. Especially the floor. Pool very dirty. Looks like been a while since cleaned. Pool shared with another motel that rented rooms by the week. Lots of kids and uninvited guest used pool. Staff were kind and helpful. Coffee machine in lobby broken and only served money buns. Coffee machine in room worked good. The wife and I travel a lot now but will not stay here again.

The ladies at the desk were nice. The room was so so, the pool was empty, the so called "breakfast" was 2 day old gas station danish or muffins. NOT eadable. NOT AT ALL as described, nor expecting. I would recommend elsewhere

Room was dirty with dead bugs in corners. Filthy boot print on bath mat, cockroaches running around nightstand. Ice machine out of order. I've stayed at this property probably ten times over the years but it has gone way down hill. Will not be coming back.

Faucet hand latterly fell off in my hand, bathtub had jets but looked like it hadn’t been cleaned in years, there was a steady stream of water running in the tub all night. The bed appeared clean so I slept there and got up and out by 5:30 AM. Not a great place to stay.

The nonsmoking rooms had definitely been smoked in. The toilet was not working in our first room. The air conditioner was loud and worked poorly. The bedspreads had stains on them. The front desk worker was kind enough to give us a different room. The second nonsmoking room had also been smoked in but we were grateful to be moved. We will not stay there again.

The check in was great, hotel staff was polite and helpful. The bed was a bit hard for us, the room and bathroom could really use more attention to cleaning. It was a one night stay and I guess ok if you just were passing through.

House keeping knocked on the door so early in the morning woke us up! We never wanted any housekeeping. We forgot to ask the desk for do not disturb sign or whatsoever for we don’t want anybody coming in in our room. The next day we’re out all day and came back our things have been put away. I can’t say room was cleaned when all they did was put away our things and made beds. I put One of my cellphones covered in a shirt that’s inside my suitcase and then when I opened my suitcase the cellphone was already out from the shirt and was just somewhere inside the suitcase meaning they opened my suitcase and WELL I DONT KNOW WHAT WERE THEYRE TRYING TO DO OPENING MY SUITCASE LUCKILY NOTHING WAS MISSING BUT I HATE THAT SOMEBODY IS GETTING ON MY STUFF!

Dining

Breakfast is very limited—often just packaged pastries and coffee—leading to frequent disappointment. A few appreciated an early grab‑and‑go option, but variety and quantity were lacking.

While booking it says breakfast included, but you will get only muffins and coffee/tea, not sure for whom this is a breakfast, no bread or pancake and not even cereals which you will find in mostly all hotels. Breakfast was one of the reason to book the hotel. Not acceptable. Also expedia did blunder by not sending confirmation to the hotel about the reservation. Total disaster.

We always look for a hotel that has breakfast included because it makes it easier to start the morning. Their breakfast had a sign that said "one item per customer" by the muffiins, 3 pieces of fruit or packaged cinnamon danish. Definitely didn't give off a friendly vibe. The room had one bar of soap and one small shampoo at the sink with no where to put it in the shower. Minimal at best.
