This hotel clearly advertises that it has a 24-hour front desk -- which it does not. This is false advertising. The property is down a side alley -- not well lit or secure -- and you have to put in a code to open the front door. There are 2 code boxes and neither one is marked for the hotel. A strange man sitting across the alley came over and put the code in -- hhmmm..... Also, there are fully 28 steps up a not well lit stairwell with no handrails before you can get to the small elevator. I did not at all feel safe. As a solo traveler, I always stay in hotels that have someone at the front desk 24 hours for security. This is false advertising. You have to find the other hotel down the street and around the corner where there is actually someone there. Otherwise, this hotel sends you codes to get into the property and into your room --- AFTER you have paid in full. There is no one onsite (unless you count the strange man who knows the code!!). The room is not "soundproof" as you can clearly hear others in the hallways. I have spoken with the hotel about this and with the desk at the Athens Tower --- they are not at all interested in giving me any compensation and kept all of my prepayment, even though I only stayed for one night. Poor service, false advertising.
