The property was nice. Staff in the afternoon checking us in were great. She gave us a great recommendation to order pizza (Avalanche Pizza, OMG, so good!). Room was clean and cozy, though mattresses were too firm for our liking. Hot breakfast in the morning was good. We utilized the pool and that only complaint we have are the vents in the pool room are DISGUSTING. They are rusted and appear to have mold on them and mold looks as if it were blown against the wall near the vents. Besides the vents/potential mold needing addressed, we were happy with our stay. If we come back to Athens, we will stay there again.

Over all it was a nice stay. The check in staff was very friendly and helpful. The room was clean, but kinda run down. The carpet looked kinda dirty and the showers water pressure was not very strong at all. The hotel breakfast was good and they had a good selection of things like eggs, bacon, waffles, fruit and muffins. The pool was nice but heavily chlorinated and cold. It was not heated. Overall it was an ok stay for the few days we stayed.

Our stay in Athens was so nice, our double queen room with pull out couch was huge, plenty of room for everyone to spread out and not have to trip over our luggage. They gave us a main floor room so very convenient access to the pool. Pool was open till midnight which the kids were so happy since we got there a little later than planned. Also had a restroom at the pool, no dripping down the hall to the lobby restroom. Everything about our stay was so convenient!

We have stayed here a couple times before. It is a great location with very friendly staff and easy check-in. Our room was very comfortable and super clean (I am very picky). We used the pull-out sofa, and it was fine for our son. The breakfast was well-stocked with typical Hampton Inn waffles, eggs, bacon/sausage, yogurt, fruit, cereal, juice, coffee, etc. There was plenty of comfortable seating. The four of us (me, my husband and two kids) used the small workout room and it was fine, with one elliptical, one peloton, and one treadmill, along with free weights. The white chocolate macadamia nut cookies and orange-infused water in the lobby were tasty. The pool was near our room, but the walls were well insulated, and we never heard any noise at all. Overall, an excellent stay and we would recommend!

All the staff that we encountered had a great attitude, and the young girl working in the kitchen was very nice and even asked us if there was anything we needed before she closed up. As for the housekeeping, I believe the vacuuming could be better whereas we had crumbs in our room upon arrival and the amount of rags to towels ratio didn't match. Otherwise great place to stay!

There is also a decent restaurant within walking distance, and plenty of other restaurants nearby. It's a nine minute drive from Ohio University. We will definitely stay there again.

When we arrived for check-in, the clerk informed me that my room with two queen beds was ready. However, I had booked a room with a king bed and a study. I chose this hotel specifically for a room that would suit my family's needs for our stay. When I told the clerk I had reserved a different room, he informed me that I had booked through a third-party (hotels.com) and they had "transmitted the reservation" as a room with two queen beds. I asked if a room with a king bed was available. The only available room was handicap accessible, which means it was lacking the features I had selected (such as a fold-out couch) as concessions to accessibility. I did not arrive for check in until 9 PM, and I believe the hotel simply gave my room away because they assumed I wasn't coming. Additionally, Hampton Inn has moved away from hygienic, single-use soaps and shampoos in favor of cheaper, refillable communal pumps. This is a disgusting practice - who is to say someone didn't tamper with the product in the bottle? I typically book Hampton Inn rooms for my family's travels. I will be finding somewhere else to stay at this point. I am sure I can find another hotel that will not give my room away, tell me I was wrong, and then still charge me $9 for three water bottles.

I wanted to share my heartfelt feedback about my recent stay at your hotel in Athens. My family and I visited to watch my son play football for Ohio University, and our experience with your staff was outstanding. While everyone was excellent, I would especially like to commend Shawna at the help desk. She went above and beyond to make us feel welcome, patiently answering all my questions, and ensuring we had everything we needed. Her kindness and professionalism stood out, and she made a lasting impression on us. Shawna is truly an asset to your team, and we look forward to seeing her each time we visit. Thank you for such a memorable stay. We look forward to continuing to choose your hotel for our future visits. Warm regards, Laura Botello/Laura Coronel

We booked a king room and when arriving they said they were booked and we were stuck with two queens. Not only did we not get the room we booked, they wanted to charge us $110 MORE than what my reservation confirmation said. Luckily I had just looked at the confirmation and caught it! After going to our room I went to wash my hands and there was an empty soap box. I had to go back down to the front desk to retrieve hand soap. After returning to our room on day 2 we noticed they had “cleaned” the room but left no trash bag or T.P. Once again I found myself going to the front desk to retrieve those items….. Our room was 218 just above the lobby where a speaker sat outside our window. That was fun to listen too all day & evening!🙄
