8/10 Very good

Was good. Cleanest low budget room I’ve ever stayed in.

Affordable pricing, pillows were really flat and uncomfortable.

I love staying here. You can’t beat the price.

Nothing
Tomas, 2-night trip

2/10 Poor

Room 231 was disgusting. The bedframe had mold and brown crust on it, the lamps flickered, the sofa fabric was worn through, and the floor had greasy spots on it from where cleaner or pest spray had been used and not wiped up. I had to spend the night somewhere else.
Jill, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

Sheets not changed and bed obviously not aseptic. Bulb burnt out. Ladder at swimming pool broken. All reported to management and they just scrugged shoulders
Michele, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

I feel a moral obligation to write this review to warn others. My stay at the Stay Express in Athens, Texas, was the most horrifying and unsafe hotel experience of my life. This place is not just bad; it is condemned, deceptive, and dangerous. SAFETY & HARASSMENT: The most critical issue is your personal safety. This hotel houses individuals we were told are "mental patients," who live on the property. During our stay, we were actively harassed and threatened with violence by some of these residents. The situation was so severe that we had to call the Athens Police Department. When we reported this to the hotel management, their response was to do ABSOLUTELY NOTHING. They showed zero concern for our well-being. FILTH & UNSANITARY CONDITIONS: The advertised "clean and decent" rooms are a complete lie. · The sheets were dirty and stained. · We found COCKROACHES in the room. · Most shockingly, there was FECES SMEARED AGAINST THE WALL. · The bathroom was a health hazard. The tub was painted with cheap house paint, which was peeling and collecting grime. · The towels provided had BLOOD STAINS on them. This place is not just unclean; it is a biohazard. FRAUDULENT & HOSTILE MANAGEMENT: When we could no longer tolerate the danger and filth, we demanded a refund to leave immediately. The management was incredibly rude, unaccommodating, and hostile. When I tried to reason with them, one of them told me they "look forward to my lawsuit." This is not a joke. Why would Expedia host !!

The property is old. Room smelled a bit stale but was clean. Water pressure in shower was a bit low but water was hot.
kimberly, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

I’d say about 50 years ago this place was amazing. But now?? Nah. But honestly for $60 a night? You get what you get. The bar on site is cool
Evan, 1-night trip

No breakfast! No inside door lock

Ok
Mike, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

Never again

1. They claim I had to sign a charge so they would get paid by Expedia. I told them no I have never been told I have to do that. Then they showed me the credit card # , they were wanting me to sign to be charged. 2. No phone, no clock 3. Furniture looked looked terrible it was all scratched up and very old. 4 ceiling looked like it had caulking between boards.
Jessica, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

Low standards

The man at check in was very nice but all downhill from there. The room was not clean and smelled really bad from cigarette smoke. We loaded our clothes back in the car and left. This hotel has a long way to go but appears the owner is trying. I didn’t even try to get my money back even though he might have given it back.
Jerry, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

It was a room, that’s about all I can say. Management/desk attendant was rude, condescending and disrespectful on the phone and in person. 97° day and no A/C on at all. The room was stifling hot at 9pm. Miserable. At least it could have been turned on in the afternoon and set at 80° to take the edge off and make it easier and faster to cool down. But I can tell you, management doesn’t have the capacity to be thoughtful. Ridiculous.
Kathy, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Good customer service

The room was clean, but since there is a bar off the lobby, the smell of stale smoke in the lobby and hall outside the room was very strong. The parking lot was very full from the bar on Friday night, so i parked a long way from the lobby despite having a handicapping placard. I had puppies with me, with a heavy crate, but there were no first floor rooms available. However, the clerk who checked me in offered to help with the crate, and she did so off the clock. The gentleman who checked me out also helped me bring the crate down and was very pleasant.

The first room we were in had roaches we had to be switched to another room it was fairly clean but I didn't stay the second night
Jenne, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Had a terrible time checking in. Took forever. Ask for a first floor room and didn’t get it. The remote for the TV did not work. Did not feel messing with desk to correct these two things.
Jeff, 1-night trip

Bathroom was the size of a small closet. Towels were very small
Dennis, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The bed was comfortable, the room was nice.. I did however see a roach… just one … but letting you know so pest control can get rid of any there… food places were nearby and that was nice.. I had just went through day surgery and wouldn’t have wanted to go across town for food
