8/10 Very good

The outside looks like a shady motel but I was pleasantly surprised by how clean and modern looking the rooms are. Beds are comfortable. Rooms have nice refrigerators with a mini freezer. For the price it was a great value.

Surprisingly happy with stay!

I was hesitant because the outside looks kind of rough, but the inside of the motel room was very clean and the bathroom was nicely updated. Comfortable beds, and the family that runs the motel were very friendly!

Better than expected

We needed a quick place to stay for the football game and this place was so much cheaper than other places around. The staff was very friendly and helpful. The room was very clean. The mattress was a little firmer than i prefer, but im not complaining. I would stay again!

Basic overnight stay

We basically just needed a room for before and after a concert at Stuart's Opera House. It was just about right for that. The shower was nice, and the room was clean.

Hometown Inn

The room was just as I expected for the price. The AC worked great. The noise from the highway was not as loud as I expected considering how close it is to the hotel.

Friendly staff, the manager let me park my motorcycle under the awning when it stormed. I would book again if I come back to Athens
Brian, 1-night trip

4/10 Fair

Before booking on Orbitz I called a female answered said I could have my ESA Dog as long as I had a letter from my doctor requiring my use of one as a disabled veteran. I then booked it and stayed two nights no problem then woke up to a male saying it don’t matter that I can’t have it but he will allow it this time. Literally all I did was stay long enough in the room to sleep and shower. The room was as clean as a place like that could be I guess. Out of 4 nights they maybe attended to the room 2times. The attitude of the guy there was very off putting.

Very clean. Comfortable bed! Great service!
James, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Hometown Inn is convenient, close to campus and the restaurants on Richland like McDonald’s, McHappy’s and Purple Chopsticks. My room was clean and spacious, as well as newly renovated and the bed was so comfortable! Definitely going to stay here again and wish that I knew this existed before now!! Daughter is a Senior at OU!!

Cleanest in Athens

Cleanest budget hotel I’ve stayed in in Athens, hands down. No smoke odor, every thing was ridiculously clean and functioned correctly. Price was amazing. Will definitely be booking again.

10/10 Exceptional

The price was great for the property. And only a few minutes away from Ohio University. Staff was polite and tried to meet our needs. Everything seemed clean and tidy. Keep in mind this is an older property, But seems well maintained. I would definitely stay there again :)
