Best Stay in Athens
I stay at the Athens Central when I visit my son at OU. This hotel is the best, and my number 1 recommendation for the area. The location can’t be beat, the rooms are comfortable and spacious, the staff couldn’t be friendlier and were most helpful. The hotel is located in a safe area and grounds were clean inside and out.

Could have been better.
I ran out of tolet paper and had to use tissues. The cook was sick, so breakfast was not up to par, but they gave me a coupon for next time I stay. My room was so close to two busy streets, so could here the traffic outside. The room was great, very roomy.

This property was a 5 star in every respect. The front desk was very professional and made a great dinner recommendation. The location was close to campus town but still quiet. The room was clean and we enjoyed the updated decor. The hot breakfast had a nice variety and was very good. We would definitely stay at this location again.
