Reviews for Columbus Inn Fort Benning
Review 1：Rooms on both sides of me were permenately occupied , with cats and dogs.the curtains were torn and a dog barked a lot .across from my room on the parking lot was a broke down van with wheels off.
Review 2：Close to where I was going
Review 3：The rooms were disgusting, walls were dirty, there was a dead bug in the bedside drawer, the wifi didn't work, there was a bug in our outlet socket, overall unclean rooms
Review 4：Nothing
Review 5：Not enough towels, the room smelled musty and old . There was black mold in the shower area. The front counter had no extra towels and she didn't have a key to get into maids area to get new ones. The breakfast was pitful.
Review 6：Well, the sheets were clean
Review 7：Maybe remodeling the rooms, curtains, TV, comforters.
Review 8：The prices and location close the Fort Benning Military base. I think for the price we paid, the place is OK. Included a fair breakfast.
Review 9：There was no coffee maker in the room. And they would not take my AAA discont, do to it being booked thru Booking.com.
Review 10：The price, and it was clean in the rooms
Review 11：Some of the hotel guest were up to no good! But that was taken care of!!
Review 12：Christy and the rest of the staff are awesome! We were made to feel very comfortable like part of the family!!
Review 13：There were cigarette holes in the bedspread, stains everywhere, thebathroom was unspeakably disgusting, the location was scary, the peoplethere were mildly homeless, it smelled overwhelmingly of cigarettes inthe non-smoking room, when you sat on the bed the bedside lamp turnedoff, and I felt genuinely unsafe. Went to the Wyndham and stayed therefor $4 more a night, and it was worlds away better, cleaner, and safer.
Review 14：The only good thing about this place was that they gave me a refund whenI left early.
Review 15：I ASK FOR A NON-SMOKING ROOM AND IT SMELL JUST LIKE SMOKE WHEN WE ENTER THE ROOM THE BED SPREAD HAD SMOKE HOLES AND BURNS ON IT THAT WAS NOT GREAT CONSUMER VALUE!!!!!!!
Review 16：NOTHING TO MUCH BUT THE QUICKNESS OF THE HOTEL!!
Review 17：Hated Pool Hours and also found "Pool Passes" to be a hassle.In all fairness we didn't get asked to leave the pool right at nine, but wouldn't the requirement for children to have a pool curfew and un-inebriated adults allowed to be adults and decide their own bed times???
Review 18：We booked two rooms as we came down to visit our son in Basic Training. 1 room was great and the other OK! Loved the clean Pool and Privacy Fencing, as well as friendly staff!
Review 19：The room smelled of mildew. Wifi was totally unreliable and rarely connected. Other guests were often shouting outside in the wee hours of the morning.
Review 20：The bed was comfortable
Review 21：Dirty floors , need to clean or renew . Poor breakfast
Review 22：Friendly staff . Excellent customer service. Nice pool area. I made my check in at 3:00am and we ask for a little more time in the check out and they give to us 3 more hours. Very pleased about that. Excellent customer service. If you're going to see someone at Fort benning is ok for a night or 2.
Review 23：Pool was clean room was kept clean each day and we always had fresh towels when we got back.
Review 24：Morning Staff was very freindly. Eveing staff wasnt to freindly messed up when we paid with credit card we had reserved 2 rooms 1st room went fine on credit card but 2nd room she had to try 3 times before it went through and kept telling us it was our card but we did get it straightened out. Fridg. didnt work to well.
Review 25：The room were not clean, bathroom floor was filty, and the carpet had a very odd/gross stain on the floor. The continental breakfast was stall ceral, warm milk, and grits on rock hard biscuits with hot juice. And the local riff raff liked to play in there parking lot, making sleep some nights hard.
Review 26：The staff was very nice and if you had any issues were very willing to help. The price was good and location was close to Fort Benning. And the Air Conditioning after being out in the humidity for long periods was heavenly.
Review 27：The location was a bit sketchy and there wasn't much to do around the area. Some of the neighboring people were very shifty and I'm pretty sure there was a prostitue in the room above us. I know there isn't much to be done about this but I didn't feel safe there. The room we stayed in looked a bit worn down, stains on the sheets, a roach here and there.
Review 28：I liked the staff; they were friendly and accommodating. The room was affordable. However I wouldn't suggest staying here if it's for the soldiers at Ft. Benning as they are not allowed in this area(specifically Victory Dr). Overall, it was okay.
Review 29：I did not like the breakfast, or the neighborhood that well.
Review 30：The front desk lady was extremely friendly when we got there in the afternoon, every evening, even though she was extremely busy, she still had a smiling
Review 31：The pool wasn't clean and my reasons for choosing the hotel was for my 8 year old to play in the pool. The room should have had 4 sets of wash cloths and towels instead of 2 when I made the reservation I put in the number of occupants would be in the room as 4.It also took the maid a long time to get us the extra wash cloths and towels.
Review 32：There were lots of places to eat near by. The convenience of shopping less than 20 minutes away.
Review 33：Wifi was terrible. Never found the HBO channel. Not enough towels. 4 people to a room but only had 3 towels. We had two rooms. one of the doors to the bathroom didn't close. Beds were comfy but the pillows were awful. Cleanliness of the room - not really. Continental breakfast was an absolute joke. We booked thru Booking.com but when it was all said and done we actually paid more than what it said on booking.com that we would pay. We will never stay there again and probably will be back to that area since my son is stationed at Ft. Benning. awful, awful, awful. definitely not worth the money it costs for us to stay there for 4 days.
Review 34：The location of the hotel. It didn't take long to get to where we were going.
Review 35：Everything else. The room was not at all as pictured, the bathroom was scary, the beds were worse, I slept in my clothes. We were going to stay 3 nights and checked out after one. In fact we called around that night to see if we could get another room, anywhere else.
Review 36：The hotel clerk was very polite.
Review 37：Everything i was over chsrged from my reservation the first room they gave us had no linens then yhey put us next to drug dealers. I will never stay there again or let anyone i know stay there
Review 38：Nothing... i had to watch my car all night
Review 39：Loud music playing all day. People standing around outside talking loudly all night. The air conditioner was very loud.
Review 40：The front desk staff was very helpful.
Review 41：The hotel offered a Continental breakfast and when we went down in the morning we only found stale mini muffins. Also, they show a photo of a game room which does not exist. Though it's close to the Army Base, the location does not have a great reputation.
Review 42：Personnel was very friendly. Accommodations and location was great. Our son is in booth camp @ Fort Benning, it was minutes away from the hotel. We weren't looking for anything fancy, and we tried to keep our expenses down. It was perfect for the time we spent with our son.
Review 43：The staff was incredible. They definitely made up for the updates desperately needed. Do not count on the breakfast unless u want a blueberry muffin, all we got to have for 6 days. It is very clean and well managed. If you want a nice painted, no holes in the walls, or shower rod not falling down this is not for you. If you want a cheap, clean and best customer service this is one of the best.
Review 44：I had no problems with my stay but just that the frig in room was not working. it took like it might have frozen up or something but was not big issue cause we didnt really need to use it.
Review 45：I am from columbus and was worried about the location but when got there. I saw security so made me feel better. for the price and all that was included I was very happy overall with my stay. I would go back again.
Review 46：I did not like the fact that... i washed what appeared to be blood off of the bathroom door, you had to wait in between showers to get pressure built back up, one of our shower heads fell off as it was attached with electrical tape. Also a hot continental breakfast is not a waffle or bagle that I have to toast myself.
Review 47：I loved the staff they were very helpful and courteous.
Review 48：The room is dark. The place could use some remodeling. You have to check out a iron. Then they keep your id. The vending machines were all broken. Wifi never worked. Never found hbo channel.
Review 49：The bed was comfy, the staff was nice and pleasant.
Review 50：Bed did not smell clean and fresh.The bed cover was not washed.The carpet smelled like it has' nt been shampooed for a looong time Breakfast ' consisted of untoasted waffle and stale packets of jelly that were unspreadable they were like gum all stretchy and just plain old and stale. The fridge was dirty.The armchair was dirty and smelly .Overall an unwelcoming place.
Review 51：Central location .Easy access to highway , shopping , entertainment.@
Review 52：Bathroom door did not shut, had to change rooms due to our bathroom not being clean and no pillowcases. Hairs in the bath towels and all over bathroom floor!
Review 53：The hospitality was amazing. Every employee was so friendly and knowledgeable to give directions to the military base. The rooms where clean. Beds where so comfortable and I am disabled and they where great for me. Best nights of sleep on vacation ever. The price was perfect. The manager is so friendly and helpful as well. Just was such a great experience after driving 22 hours in one day the service we recived was amazing.
Review 54：We were a little disappointed that the pool had already been closed for the season during our stay Sept. 30-Oct. 2, however the staff's willingness to ready the pool and reopen it for us was impressive!
Review 55：The place was disgusting! I pulled into the parking lot and as soon as I stepped out of my car I was solicited for sex. I was furious and as I entered the lobby I immediately shared it with staff who simply laughed. The room had hair left from previous stay, comforter had cigarette burns, and overall was the quality of a roadside motel. I would not recommend this location to anyone and will not be returning.
Review 56：Your breakfast, we had to eat in the dark. When I asked your employee if she could turn on the lights, She said that's all the lights we have. You had 2 tiny lights where the food was but none on out on the floor where the tables were. And the lady working in the morning was very rude. She was busy watching t.v. and didn't want to be bothered. e were there 9/16 9/17 9/18 we checked out 9/19
Review 57：The lady working on 9/16 in the afternoon that checked us in was so nice. She was very pleasant. The room was clean. You could put more pillows on the beds at least 2 more, we only had 2 and they were small ones. The location was good.
Review 58：Walking out of my room at 6:00 in the morning and their were no lights anywhere ! It was a little disconcerting .
Review 59：At first a little skeptical about staying , but , once we settled in it was a great experience . Maids , desk staff tried to do everything possible to give us a good stay . I respected that . I would recommend this Inn .
Review 60：Ever pulled into a hotel and wished you had chosen somewhere else? I checked into this hotel which took 15 minutes even though I was the only one there. The hotel is made up of separate blocks so making your way from one block to the other was like walking through a bad neighborhood in the worst part of New York. At least the distraction of trying to get to my room as quickly as possible took my mind off the smell of stale urine. It must have been on old Days Inn as the old sign was still there, but I would imagine that Days Inn swapped it for a hot dog. The room itself wasn't much better with holes in the wall, light switches that looked like they had been hammered into the wall. The AC unit was so old it was noisy and not very cold so I didn't sleep very well. If it wasn't for the fact that I was only there for 2 nights on my own I would have left and found. somewhere else. Do yourself a favor and stay away, unless you want to get a quick fix from the guy sitting at the end of the block selling drugs.....
Review 61：location, ability to double lock door plus checking out!
Review 62：The entire hotel needs to be restored. My room was horrible ! There wasbugs in the room crawling, the walls and floors are dirty, the bathroomwas disgusting, I was afraid to unpack my clothing, we couldn'tsleep comfortable in the beds, the linings was dirty, never again wouldI visit this site for a room..
Review 63：The location was great while traveling, I wish I would have chosenanother hotel.
Review 64：The room smelled like mold. Your feet stuck to the carpet. The towels were so thin you could see through them. I was charged 16 percent tax instead of 8 percent. The pool was nasty, you couldn't even swim in it. You had to check out you iron and ironing board from the front desk. And that is just a few things. It was terrible!!!
Review 65：Nothing!!!
Review 66：Worst place to stay smells like mold, holes in the walls, door doesn't close all the way carpets are gross, bed looked dirty burn holes in sheets, spider webs and bugs everywhere, shower looks dirty, only 2 old towels, rude staff, don't stay here it's nasty

Review 120：Staff not helpful at all, poor breakfast choices, a LOT of questionable characters running around at all times of the day and night, refrig froze everything in it. Awoken by neighbors noises at 130am. Couldn't be outside room without people bumming things or asking if they could come in my room with me. Thankful it was business trip and family was not there.
Review 121：It was cheap. Room was overall clean, but had burn holes in comforter. Thank God for locks in the doors! There were no bugs.
Review 122：Little things it was an older hotel and the towels and sheets had seen better days. They all smelled and appeared clean.
Review 123：We booked this hotel because it was the only one with available rooms in our price range. This hotel looks like it was recently purchased. They were doing a lot of work while we were there. The staff was friendly and helpful. This appears to be an older hotel and a fixer upper and the person that owns it is working on it. I loved the fact that on display in the lobby was a lot of armed service memorabilia and an American flag. I hope to be able to visit this place again later when they have had a chance to do more improvements.
Review 124：couldn't use pool and it was 97 degrees a lot of things broken but staff was right on it to fix things old needs upgrades smelled like wet dog think carpet needs replacing I realize it was cheap but it should be cheaper until things are fixed or upgraded would not recommend staying there until the owners put some money into it
Review 125：the staff was excellent we were able to use the pool at their sister location but that was 5 exits away feel sorry for staff cause they were very caring but hands were tied on a lot of things James the maintenance man was awesome
