This Holiday Inn Express is a top notch hotel when visiting Ohio University, or just passing thru Athens in SE Ohio. Front desk staff is absolutely the most friendly and helpful of any hotel I've been to. Stephen is especially friendly and helpful. When I called down to get a new remote for the TV, he personally delivered it and... More

We stopped at this hotel on our way to Cincinnati from the Baltimore area. Not having done any research, I didn't know what to expect but was pleasantly surprised. The staff was very friendly, gave us a rate that beat Priceline and called our room to make sure everything was satisfactory. The front desk also gave us discount cards to... More

We very much enjoyed our stay at the Holiday Inn Express in Athens, Ohio. We had a great room except the temperature of the room was a bit too warm. We struggled to sleep somewhat due to the fact that we like for it to be a bit cooler for sleeping. They did send someone up to try to fix... More

From the time that I called to inquire on rates and availability I was impressed with this hotel. Wonderful front desk staff. The room was great and the value was even better. Will definitely be staying there again in the future.

For the price, this was a disappointment. Staff are a mixed bag, some friendly, many indifferent and not customer oriented. They did quickly remedy a problem with the room, however. Hotel needs a major cleaning, including in the coners and edges. Room okay but just not fresh, noisy due to party upstairs, generally a bit dreary. Location very convenient. First... More

This is a great Holiday Inn property. Everyone was very nice and accommodating. The rooms were very clean and updated, complete with a microwave and fridge. Bathrooms are large, as are the rooms. There wasn't a desk in mine but a small table served the purpose just fine. Breakfast was included and it was really good, especially for a complimentary... More

I stay at this hotel when I visit my daughter at Ohio University. It is only 5 minutes from campus. I have always found it to be clean with rather large rooms for a HI Express. The staff at this hotel is very friendly. The breakfast is very good for a continental style breakfast. They have a lot of options.
