The 2 main issues related to cleanliness that I advised the staff of were that I noted a cockroach in my bathroom on the day I left, plus there was the intermittent smell of urine or ammonia in the room itself. All evidence otherwise was a clean comfortable bed, good access to the area, decent breakfast options, and a very friendly knowledgeable staff that were sincerely apologetic for the things I pointed out.

Book at Wingate Athens
The front desk person at check-in was very friendly, nice and accommodating. He changed a room from single bed two double beds. That is great customer service. The room(s) were always clean when returning at the end of the day. Providing a winning breakfast is always great. Check-out person was also friendly, nice and very helpful when asked about directions. This hotel provide a great team with good customer service. When I come back I would look to book at Wingate Athens.

Ok for one night
The hotel needs an update. It was fine for the one night we stayed, but i don't think i would stay there again. Bed was comfortable, but for some reason, they had these decorative (?) cement blocks protuding from the half wall that separated the sleeping space from sitting space. I slammed my shin into them multiple times during our stay.

The parking lot was not completely available due to paving. The manager at the front desk was rude. They charged me for early check in $50 and $100 for incidental fee. In addition, I was using a tax exempt form and Expedia had already billed my account for the full balance before I checked in.

Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities
The staff is overwhelmed. Front desk clerk, cleans, cooks, and security. The property is rundown. I was greeted with a smile and a warmed welcome. However, a man walking around in lobby, smelling like liquor.. the rooms smell like mold. Damp and dirty carpet. The bathroom door didn’t shut . the couch had a large brown stained . I brought linen. I was given balled up linen for my bed. 3am in the morning, upstairs heard noise from neighbors fighting. Homeless people walking around the property. I saw a man digging into the trash. This place is not safe. No security. The place needs an upgrade or inspection for violations
