This is a very reasonable priced hotel minutes from downtown Athens and the University of Georgia. Great service and very well kept rooms. I have stayed there for 2 years during the week for my job and can't say enough nice things about the cleanliness of the rooms and the hospitality of the owners. Phillip Perkerson

We recently booked a trip home from the middle east for R&R, and we wanted to attend a GA game before we came back. Of course everything in town was booked solid so we took the only rooms we could find which were here at Howard Johnson Athens. This hotel was DISGUSTING. We wanted three non-smoking rooms and were told... More

My wife and I stayed here July, 2011, while we were visiting the Botanical Gardens. I had some apprehension because of the mixed nature of the reviews, but since we were staying only only one night, I took the risk. The place was among the nicest place we stayed during our whole 2 week vacation (second only to the Marquise... More

We stayed at HoJo Athens on the way back from a trip. My feelings on the hotel are mixed. There are some pluses and minuses, depending on what sort of experience you're after. Some pluses: the location is excellent if you want access to downtown and the university. It's also within an easy drive of a good deal of restaurants,... More

Not a bad hotel for an overnight stay. I traveled in the off season so the facilities were clean and the hotel was quiet. It had all basic requirements for business travel, but I would not say the hotel should be rated higher than 3 stars maximum. The hotel sign is difficult to see amid all the other highway signs,...

I've done a lot of traveling and this place was the worst conditions ive ever been in. The rooms stink, bugs everywhere, shady people, and very run down.
