HomeTowne Studios by Red Roof Athens, TN

It’s a relaxing place for a night or even a week, with a clean room and a great desk if you work remotely. The bathroom is excellent, with hot water in seconds. The location is really convenient and, despite being near the 75, it was mostly quiet. There’s a well-lit parking area that felt very safe. A circle K gas station is right there for snacks and drinks, and Hometowne has a small convenience area in the lobby too. Dollar General and a gas station are a short drive away, and heading south 3 miles on the 75 gets you to plenty of fast food.

Raven made check-in a breeze. She was so polite and helpful, and told me about the area. I also want to thank GM Trevantey for helping me get towels during my stay. He’s a gentleman and a scholar. All the staff were great, and I couldn’t have asked for a better stay. Thank you, Hometowne Studios.

The staff made this stay feel like five-star service. I’ve stayed at the Ritz and the Four Seasons, and I can honestly say the service here was better. They remembered my preferences and plans, and treated me like a relative coming home. They even found a specific kind of tea late at night and helped me figure out local transit. Nothing seemed outside their job description, and they were both professional and genuinely warm. The property was spotless, and the team clearly takes pride in it. I also felt the value was unbeatable, with world-class treatment for a fraction of the price. The neighborhood was a pleasant surprise too. The locals were some of the kindest people I’ve met. I spent afternoons at the little cafe next door, and by the second day the regulars knew my name. It didn’t feel like a tourist trap, just people going about their lives and welcoming me in.

The staff are amazing, super nice, and love the Lord. They’ll take good care of you. Britney was especially wonderful and took time to make sure my needs were met. I’d highly recommend staying here, whether for a few nights or an extended stay. Best hotel in Athens!
