Baymont Inn And Suites Athens

Don’t stay at this hotel unless you’re desperate. We stayed in November for a hockey tournament and got their very last available room. The room was infested with stink bugs (they were in groups between the fabric of the curtains and on the ceiling). The room smelled like they had been using it to store dead bodies before our arrival. The walls between rooms were so thin we could hear every single word our neighbors were saying including what they were watching on t.v. (That’s how we learned Ronda Rousey lost her match). We needed to go to bed early because our son had to get up at 5:30 for his game, but couldn’t sleep because our neighbors were up until after 2:00 a.m. This wouldn’t have been an issue had it not sounded like the people next door were in the bed next to ours. The room was dirty and outdated. At the end of our stay they made the maintenance guy inspect our room before they would return our $ 50 «incidentals» deposit. What a joke. I can’t believe we paid $ 100 to stay in this hell hole. The only decent thing I can say about this place is our room didn’t have bed bugs. Save yourself the money and sleep in your car. Trust me– you’ll enjoy your stay more.

I stayed here for 2 nights to run the Athens Marathon. There were a few other choices for hotels in the area, but this was the best place that I could find in terms of location and affordability. My room was conveniently located near one of the side doors, so I could get to my car fairly quickly. But with that convenience came with it a bunch of noise of other people coming and going. The room was nice and clean, but it had a musky smell. It wasn’t bad enough for me to complain. The room had a nice flat screen TV, a small fridge, and a microwave oven. I wouldn’t mind staying here again if I ever find myself in Athens, Ohio again.

I don’t think it was worth the price. This is another example of how mediocre hotels in large college towns can get away with price gouging because there is nowhere else to stay.
The rooms were just okay. Not dirty but not totally clean either. I stayed there for 6 days and my bedding was never changed. The hot tub was broken for my entire stay. The staff was nice but I felt like it was forced upon them because I was a guest.
The continental breakfast was not good at all. How many times can you serve us breakfast burritos? By the third day, I never wanted to eat another breakfast burrito for the rest of my life. During the last three days of my visit, I went to Starbucks even though the hotel breakfast was free. The lady who put out the breakfast was also very surly. This was probably because she had to eat breakfast burritos every day.
The walls of the hotel are very thin. You can hear way too much from the next room. I also stayed in a non-​smoking room that reeked of cigarette smoke.
Hopefully, I will never have to be in Athens again, but if do, we will not be staying here. I’d rather sleep in my car.

Bring your own blankets. They don’t have extras. You will freeze at night. Also the maids will take your snapped while you’re gone.

Stayed here for Thanksgiving. Room was clean, bed was was comfortable. Thought it was a bit overpriced, but you are hostage in the area. Did not try the breakfast. Would probably stay here again if in the area.

I called to get a reservation and the woman was young and very arrogant and rude! She was like thank you sir with a high pitched voice and a giggle. I told her I am not a sir. She didn’t even apologize. She said with a snarl, when I got on the phone with you, your voice sounded like a man. I was appalled! Then she transferred me to someone else and then they transferred me to someone else who put me on hold promising I would speak to a supervisor. Then a man picks up, acts like nothin happened and tried to blow me off. With no discount offered he tried to book me a room at the super 8 without my knowledge telling me it was a discounted rate when it was really a totally different hotel altogether. I am completely dissatisfied and decided to contact their corporate office! I will never book with them. They are associated with super 8 and days inn. Thy will book you at one of those rat holes without you knowing if you don’t get all the info. Take my advice and steer clear! You get exactly what you pay for. SMH

Inexpensive, showing it’s age, visible wear & tear. Clean, not fancy, serviceable hotel room. Microwave, coffee pot & refrigerator in room. Free breakfast, hot waffles, other continental fare. Friendly staff. Indoor pool a big plus, bring your swimsuit.

The only reason I came to this hotel was because of a sports team block. I will never stay here again if the team chooses to come back but that seems highly unlikely. The only thing saving this review from a 1 star is because at least the rooms were clean and staff was nice. That is about all this hotel has to offer. The rooms are not sound proof, so I heard people going in and out of their rooms all night long, and in the morning, I was lucky enough to hear ALL of my neighbors wake up calls and cell phone alarms!
I originally made my reservation when our team sent out the hotel info, but I called the morning of my check in day to let them know I would be later checking in and they had NO record ofy reservation, even after I gave him my confirmation number. He did go ahead and get me in, and told me it was at the group rate, but when I checked in… it was higher than the group rate. Again, the staff was nice so when I questioned it, the FD agent apologized and fixed it.
The TVs are still old school, but because everything is high def now, you had to watch blurry tv.
Just don’t go to this hotel expecting much. They do have comp breakfast but I am too tired from not getting any sleep to go check it out.

Two things:
1. Room 121. No complaint about the cleanliness of the room. Linens and pillows were fine — clean. But I was in the same room approximately a year ago and it still has a crummy loose toilet seat with a torch burn in it (too big to be a cigarette burn). Also, address the tub and shower head.
2. The hotels saving grace, despite 121, is its breakfast. To a person who is on the road ²⁴⁄₇ a good breakfast is outstanding. And this place has it! Has the best breakfast I’ve seen all year. No eggs or bacon, but waffles, pastries, yogurt, coffee, juice… and much more.
Come for the breakfast!!!
