Athens Hotel & Suites

It was about what I’d expect from a 2-star hotel. The room I stayed in was clean, and they cleaned it every day for the 4 days and nights I stayed. The main thing I didn’t like was the premium price, but I realized I was paying for the convenience of being a 12-minute walk away from the George R Brown Convention Center, which is why I was there. It was nice to have a full kitchen. If the TV experience of a hotel is your jam, you might not like this one, as the TV in my room was a Roku TV without any subscriptions, but more importantly, it was extremely slow, laggy, and buffered frequently. I used my wifi hotspot and laptop to entertain myself instead. The bed was as comfortable as any other hotel bed I’ve stayed in and was comfortable enough for me, which says a lot because I’m a memory foam enthusiast who doesn’t like these types of mattresses in the first place. The staff was friendly and helpful. Overall, I’d rate this as a good experience with a few things that are less desirable but manageable for a short stay.

Staff was extremely friendly. Can't believe the hotel was so cheap for a weekend night!

Yes, there is a handicaped spot right out front that made it very easy to get in and out.

This place is wonderful. Right in downtown. We went for NBA game and it is one street from Toyota Center. Staff is very friendly and helpful to find places and transportation. Rooms were clean. Plenty of hot water. We would definitely stay here again.
