Surprisingly happy with stay!

I was hesitant because the outside looks kind of rough, but the inside of the motel room was very clean and the bathroom was nicely updated. Comfortable beds, and the family that runs the motel were very friendly!

Basic overnight stay

We basically just needed a room for before and after a concert at Stuart's Opera House. It was just about right for that. The shower was nice, and the room was clean.

The room was just as I expected for the price. The AC worked great. The noise from the highway was not as loud as I expected considering how close it is to the hotel.

My brother and I got a room on the second floor with two queen beds. I had read many good reviews but was a little skeptical because of the price. When we walked up the stairs and I saw the porch floor was plywood, I was still a little skeptical. But when we got in the room, it was so nice! You could tell it had been fully renovated. It was neat and clean and looked brand new. The beds were comfortable. The water pressure in the shower was great. I wish I could find a little motel like this to stay in every time I wanted to travel! If I ever stay over in Athens again, they have my business.
