Staff Theft and Broken Promises - Stay at Your Own Risk…read more Do not stay here. Your belongings are not safe, and corporate will not support you if staff members steal from your room. I stayed at the Best Western Athens Inn from April 14 to April 18, 2026, in room 139. While packing to leave on our final morning, I discovered that several valuable items were missing from our room. A member of the housekeeping staff had stolen my high capacity battery / phone charger, my son's phone battery charger, and my noise-canceling headphones. When I immediately informed the hotel manager, Karen Smith, she told me not to worry and promised I would be fully reimbursed. She explained that the housekeeper had only been on the job for two weeks and had abruptly quit mid-day while finishing our room. The manager assured me she was filing a police report and that they would contact me. That contact never happened. When I followed up with the Best Western corporate offices, they completely deflected responsibility. I was told: "Any items left in the hotel rooms are the responsibility of the guest and Best Western is not liable if anything gets stolen." The property will not protect your belongings, and management's promises of reimbursement mean nothing. If you stay at this Best Western, you are doing so at your own risk.

Pros: booking was easy with the Hilton App. Luckily we got a digital key. Parking is convenient and free. Staff very welcoming and nice. The lobby was nicely kept including the gym and business center. Cons: The free premade breakfast seems to be lack quality. The room 216 needs to have some updates to it. Kitchen sink drain needs cleaning and disposal replaced. I don't think the queen size beds are true in size. They seem smaller. I don't carry a tape measure with me. Company computer systems went down so no hard copy keys to rooms. Other guests had to be let in by staff.

Lobby was hot, obviously AC issues. Uncomfortably hot during breakfast…read more Room was not properly cleaned... mostly "pizza water" sitting in the bottom of the dirty dishwasher, but it made me overly critical and concerned about the rest of the room service quality. No cleaning staff visited my room all week, leading to kitchen trash piling up. Beautiful view of the Tennessee River... and the water treatment plant. Sheesh. No food within (my) walking distance. This location is the first on my "never, ever again" hotel list.

I only give it 2 stars because the front desk girl was really nice…read more The bathtub was horrendous. Everything was out of repair and looked like the owner can't afford an appropriate service man. The room stunk like cigarettes even though I paid for a non smoking room.

Glad to report there was no bed bugs, which was the only good thing to report. After removing the covers to check, it was clear the sheets were not cleaned in some time due to all the hair on them. And it's easy to spot black pubes on white sheets. And pubes in the bathroom. Ants in the room and spiders. I wasn't expecting 5 star accommodations, but I don't think it's too much to ask for a clean room. Warning to anyone staying here, find some place else. Pay a little extra. Just don't stay here. That is all!

Every employee was very kind and the room was spotless. A little old, but nothing seemed to not be working or needing replacement. Especially for the price at $60 a night at time of booking, I would recommend this all day every day. Even at a higher price, this is much better than the majority of hotels at the Athens exit.

Great layout for the pool, but water filled with gross bugs and dirt at 9am and 7pm. Clean only during middle of the day. Pushed piles of dirt/bugs toward the drain, but the drains appeared not to be on. The pool towel rack was empty at 9am, and when we asked the front desk for towels, an hour later they hadn't brought any. Handrail at pool entrance very loose. Someone's going to get hurt on it. Bathrooms need vents & fans. They fog up quickly and stay fogged, plus retain smell. Breakfast buffet decent. Nice sitting areas near the foyer. Starbucks booth on ground floor, which is nice. Inexpensive, but not as nice as the Double Tree in our city. Also cheaper price than the Double Tree in our city. Maybe that's just because Decatur doesn't have as many visitors and tourists, so they can't charge as much and can't afford as much maintenance.
