Love how close it is to Court St but we visited in the summer. I can imagine it would get pretty noisy during the school year. The walls are very thin, we could hear everything the people were saying in the room next door. Breakfast was nice and the complimentary drinks in the room were appreciated.

Really cute little boutique hotel in the middle of Athens, very near Ohio University. It was a Friday night and college kids were out having fun, so it was a little noisy late at night. Otherwise, it's a great little property. Only disappointment was in the breakfast but then most hotel breakfasts aren't great.

Really enjoyed my time here. Customer service was excellent. The room was clean. The beds were comfortable. It wasn’t too noisy, and they gave complimentary water and sodas in the room, which was convenient.

Disliked: Cleanliness

Disappointed

My sheets were yellow, and the top sheet was torn. There was coffee left in the coffee pot. On the pull out there was food on it and a green lighter. It is probably still there didn’t pick it up. There is no security. It was very expensive for all of this. The bananas on the breakfast thing were black, the creamer curdled in my coffee. We were in Room 215 for a college visit. I wish I would have stayed at the university hotel.
