To be completely honest, this should be called Motel Abacus not Hotel. The design was great and led me to believe it would be a boutique-like hotel. It is not. And please get a coffee pot in the rooms.

Great little spot.
Convenient to downtown shops, bars, and restaurants. Enjoyed the boho decor throughout the hotel, the coffee shop and coffee was great, everyone was very attentive and pleasant to deal with. The room was inviting and was wonderful for backdrops in pictures. Would definitely stay here again.

Hotel Abacus was charming! It is like a boutique hotel, lots of character. It is older, but it’s clean, and the heat and plumbing were all in good working order. The beds were very comfy, and the room was larger than I expected. The property is in easy walking distance of downtown Athens. The stadium was about a half hour walk, but easily doable and sure beat paying for gameday parking and dealing with the traffic. We had a lovely Thanksgiving visit and will definitely be returning.

Met our expectations
We had a great experience and were extremely reluctant to book based on the recent reviews but this hotel met our expectations. Check-in was smooth, great coffee shop on the property and the room was clean. Super convenient access to campus and downtown. Friendly staff, no issues and will stay again.

Not a great experience this time.
I've stayed at the Abacus (and previously the Graduate) a few times, and this time was really disappointing. The room I got was very must and had a distinct odor. On my first morning the maid service just opened the door and tried tro come in without even knocking while I was sleeping. On my last morning the maid service again just opened the door at 9am. I told them I was sleeping and would be out by 11 (checkout time). At 10am, AGAIN the door opened with the maid eager to clean the room. All three times the door was opened without knocking.

The staff was very nice, but no one came to clean the room or offer any type of additional service really. The room was very outdated and we had issues with our door staying shut. We came back from dinner and our door was wide-opened & the rest of the night it wasn't staying shut.
