So the hotel from the outside looks older. But the inside looks great. My family rented three rooms. Each room was clean and what I would expect from a hotel. The rooms also looked freshly renovated. I didn’t see any bugs as others may have. The bed was comfortable and I overall had no issues that were in the hotels control. I would stay here again. Btw… my husband said the coffee is quite good for hotel coffee. :) not sure what that means, maybe other coffee drinkers understand that statement.
Although the place itself is an older place, I was pleasantly surprised how the rooms were. I have worked in the hotel industry for 11 years so when I saw the outside the building, I wasn't sure how the inside would look. However, the rooms were very clean, except for a brown weird smudge on the bathroom wall and a similar weird brown mark on the wall next to the bed. so the rooms were really nice, however, when I went to breakfast the next morning it was horrifying. the girl working the front desk was really busy and there was no breakfast attendant....trash cans were full and literally overflowing onto the floor. The breakfast area was so messy with gravy everywhere. The sausage was gone almost no eggs were available. It was a mess and I know it wasn't her fault. It was the sloppy hotel guests. But I felt so bad for her not having any help.
WOW!!! Very nice Very clean room.... very impressed... good job housekeeping and Quality Inn for caring!!! I've been traveling all day and it is very nice and relaxing to come into the great room here!!! Shower is AWESOME!!!! Breakfast was also very good...

We were so fortunate to find this hotel on the fly when stopping for the night! Staff was friendly, room was modern and clean, linens were all nice and breakfast had tons of tasty options. A great value and we will definitely return if in the area…
Stayed there Saturday 26 July.and I could t have been happier. Room was spotless and the Staff was very friendly. I didn’t stay for breakfast. Maybe on my next visit. Thank You Quality Inn Athens.
