We traveled to Athens for a funeral. Apparently everyone else stayed at the local holiday inn and said it was bad. We had a nice stay. Bed was comfortable, staff was mostly friendly, and breakfast was decent/free. The pool could have been cleaner and hot tub didn't work, but my son still swam in it anyway. We would stay again (also, very close to gas, food, walmart).

We always stay here when we go to Athens to visit my parents. Our only concern is that a back door accessible from the parking lot does not lock. It has been this way for over a year. This reduces the level of security.

Stayed for Trade Days. People were nice, coffee good and breakfast decent, but the room was filthy. We had to clean crusty substances off the headboard, clean a pile of gross dust and dirt along the wall in the bathroom, clean off old bloody snot from the bathroom counter area and make sure we wore shoes inside because the floor was not clean at all. The sheets were clean but we accidentally pulled back the top sheet and underneath it was unacceptable. For the price of this room, it was pretty surprising it was so dirty.

She took the ice bucket that was provided in the room only to get the ice machine to take the lid off the bucket to find a used condom in the bucket. We immediately took it to the front desk to let them know but was told that it would be brought to the house keeping but that there was nothing more that could be done due to us booking this trip though a 3rd party (Hotels.com) we will stay again but will make sure to check the whole room next time we decide to stay that was it can be sorted out before the 2nd night.

I had looked online to see if this property was pet friendly. When we arrived they told me it was not. The staff was polite but the rooms were dated and worn. There were iron marks in the carpet. Carpet was stained and worn. We were in a suite and the fold out couch was in terrible condition. Worn on the ends and springs were poking through. Definitely needed replacing.

Our only problem was that it is actually located on Business 31 and the address given on Expedia is just route 31, so we drove all the way around on 31 then back through town on Business 31 to find it.

Check-in was great at first, but when our keys didn’t work there was no one at the desk to help. I had to wait until the manager returned from the pool area. The bathroom door dragged the floor and made a loud scraping noise. The bulb in the lamp over the nightstand kept falling sideways. I should have told the manager about it when we left, but I forgot. At breakfast there was no hot water for tea, so I had to use the microwave. There were no napkins and no attendant present when we arrived. The tray of bread was tightly wrapped and there were no gloves and no attendant, so I skipped having toast. The attendant finally arrived and got napkins for us. I don’t like to give negative reviews, but this hotel was not up to the standard of others of this chain.

I'm a tall individual, so I booked a King bed out of necessity; ever try sleeping on the couch with your feet hanging off, yes they fall asleep and you wake up in agonizing pain. The king room booked online was not available upon arrival, hotel staff indicated Expedia booked a different double queen room even after showing the king room confirmation. They further insisted that there were no king beds available only double queen rooms and the other local hotel was also full for the evening. Upon entering the double queen room that wasn't booked, the toilet was running and had to change to another double queen room. Guess I'll push the queen beds together for the evening. Just irritated over this at the moment.

Our group was visiting the local college for student orientation and so we stayed at the Best Western in Athens, TX. The area felt safe and was very quiet. Inside and out the hotel is very nice and the beds are SOOO comfortable!! The hot breakfast was the biggest hit for me and the kiddos. Texas shaped waffles, bagels, scrambled eggs, biscuits and gravy, a juice bar and so much more! We will definitely be staying here every time we are in Athens!!

The room was clean and very comfortable. The bedding was bright white, the mattress the comfortable. The sofa is showing it's age. The bathroom was clean with plenty of towels for 2 people. However, the drain in the sink was broken and the area outside the tub discolored. The included breakfast was one of the best offered. It included scrambled eggs, sausage patties, biscuits and hash brownies as well as waffles, fruit and pastries. Even better, the staff didn't shut it down at 9am like many other motels.
