Helpful staffGood location
JulieEverything was okay but looked like it was under construction at times. It’s an okay place to stay.
JanetLovely property. Large comfortable and clean room. Walking distance to restaurants, bars and shops. Parking and laundry facilities. Would stay again
LynnThe toilet paper and towel holders are hanging off the walls. The towels were stained ( we pray they were clean) there was fingernail trimmings on bathroom floor. Pillows stained.
Drops of something on the walls.

DanaMy socks were black from the floor about 10 minutes after we walked in. They have rooms in a newly built tower (I assume look like photos online) but if you get put in the older rooms, they are pretty bad. Breakfast was…
StevenQuick and pleasant check in from helpful young lady who gave us all the information we needed. Location is not downtown But worked well for us. Immaculate hotel and good breakfast. Recommended

Questions about Best Western Athens
What time is check-in and check-out at Best Western Athens?
Check-in is from 3:00 PM. Check-out is by 11:00 AM. If you're arriving late, tell us and we'll ask the property to hold the room.
Does Best Western Athens allow pets?
Yes — the property states that pets are allowed. Size, number and fee are set by the property rather than by us, so say you're bringing a pet when you book and we'll confirm the terms before anything is charged.
Is there parking at Best Western Athens?
Parking is listed among the property's facilities. Whether it's free and whether a space can be reserved varies, so we check it against your dates rather than promise it here.
Is breakfast included at Best Western Athens?
Breakfast is offered at the property. Whether it's included depends on the rate — the board type is shown on each room once you put your dates in.
Does Best Western Athens have Wi-Fi?
Yes — internet access is listed among the property's facilities.
Can I book a block of rooms at Best Western Athens?
The property lists meeting and banquet space, which usually means it handles group business — but how many rooms it will hold at once, for how long, and at what rate are set case by case and are not in any feed. Tell us the dates and the number of rooms and we'll get those terms from the property in writing before anything is charged.
Does Best Western Athens have wheelchair accessible rooms?
The property lists step-free or accessible facilities. That flag is the one least able to settle the question: a hotel can carry it and still have a step at the entrance, or a bath rather than a roll-in shower, and it does not say whether the accessible room is free on your dates. Tell us what you need and we'll ask the property directly rather than reading you the flag.
Can I check in late at Best Western Athens?
The property lists a front desk staffed 24 hours, so a late arrival should be possible. Standard check-in is from 3:00 PM. Rooms are still released after a cut-off at some properties regardless of the desk hours, so tell us your arrival time and we'll have them hold it.
How do I book Best Western Athens?
Put your dates in above and book online, or call (888) 789-8585 and we'll do it for you — including things a booking form can't handle, like a block of rooms, a monthly rate or an invoice for your employer.
