Holiday Inn Athens-University Area

Location, plenty of car parking spaces, friendly staff.

The hotel looks a little tired and in need of some modernisation. My room was clean and comfortable but dated.

Usually, I would not comment on such an issue, but we were given complimentary passes to the breakfast buffet. The first morning when we went down, (approx 8:30 am) we both got a plate full of food, and when we sat down to eat, we noticed that all of the items we had selected were terribly overcooked. My husband is an F&B manager at a competitor's chain, and immediately stated, "the steam table is way too hot". The following morning, when we went down for breakfast, he mentioned it to the woman in the "chef" coat that the steam table was too high, and was continuing to cook the food after it was placed on the buffet. The woman, in the chef coat, then went into the kitchen, and began to loudly share her thoughts on his suggestion with the rest of the staff in the kitchen. Most of what she said, i would never dare repeat, and it contained foul language. We were both shocked at her behavior and decided that we would rather eat elsewhere. I don't believe I have ever experienced this kind of disrespectful treatment at this type of a facility, ever.
