We selected the Hampton Inn, Athens, for it's location primarily. We were driving from Orlando to Ann Arbor, MI and we needed a spot that was about 1/2 way. Turns out that Athens, Tennessee fits the bill! After reading the good reviews on Trip Advisor, we booked for one night. The Hotel met all of our expectations except it was quite noisy. Not from the highway noise, but if you are a ground- floor guest not wanting an early wake up, you are going to get one anyway! The people above us were moving around at an early hour (we were too, but they beat us to the banging and packing up noises by a bit. Then, our room was right off of the Breakfast Area and you can imagine what kind of noise eminates from there every morning.
That being said, the room was nice, the breakfast was free and GREAT and they even have little to-go bags of breakfast stuff if you don't want to stick around and eat in their designated area.
I would highly recommend this hotel, and stay here again, but NEXT time, we'll be on the top!
