What our guests says about facilities

The hotel offers amenities for your comfortable stay and unforgettable experiences

Comfortable and Pleasant

My husband and I stayed on the ground floor in a studio room that was very clean and comfortable, equipped with a great little kitchenette. The super king bed was wonderful, making for a restful night's sleep. I appreciated the personalized touch when the manager walked us to our room and answered our questions.

Ultra Clean Experience

The bathroom was sparkling clean with a great shower, which ensures a refreshing start to the day. I must say there was a lot of pride taken in maintaining the cleanliness, and the chrome fittings gleamed. It was a pleasure to use.

Modern Amenities

The room had a flat-screen TV and good Wi-Fi, which made it easy to unwind after a long day. The LED lights added a modern touch to the atmosphere. I loved that I could stream my favorite shows without any hassle.

Easy Parking Access

Parking at Athena Motel was super convenient. There was off-street parking right at our doorstep. Even though it was a busy area, I had no trouble finding a spot, which made our stay all the more enjoyable.
