I've had the pleasure of staying here twice both times being an amazing experience! All thanks to kelee, the first time staying here she was so welcoming and a ray of sunshine after traveling 18 hours. Because of her when coming back to visit Columbus I knew where to stay and once again kelee made it a wonderful experience. She not only helped me make a reservation but helped me get the best rates. Shes genuinely the best! I will be coming back and 100% will be staying here again.

Most everything was absolutely fantastic. I still give it 5 stars even after my only 2 gripes. 1st one is the wifi is straight trash and the water is hot but not like hot. Outside of those 2 things I can't complain. The service desk representative,Kelly, was for welcoming and professional. I've stayed in a few hotels over the years and it never felt like my home away from home,but Kelly made us feel like it was. Rooms were exceptionally clean,the breakfast was really good. The air work fantastic. Not once during our 2 day stay were we made to feel like an inconvenience. Thank you

Stayed here this last week for our Son's Basic Training Graduation at Ft. Benning. Went through a ton of the reviews, and they are pretty mixed. The price was pretty good for being able to be so close to Benning, only about 2 miles from the front gates. The room was fairly clean, a few little things here and there, but for that price, I'll deal. As former military I can stand a lot as long as the place is close and the food's good, and it was. We did get a room with a kitchenette, and checked with the front desk before our stay, and were told there was cooking stuff and dinnerware/utensils in the room....there was one spoon, a butter knife, and 2 plates, and a pan. We ended up getting all that at Walmart across the street. We couldn't cook for the first 2 nights, because nobody bothered to mention that there was a timer on the wall you had to turn to make the stovetop work, we had to find that out from another guest. Not that great of a neighborhood, but still quiet. Our best part of the whole stay was Miss JJ, the breakfast server/preparer. There's a lot of reviews talking bad about her, but know what. Mind your manners, show up dressed, like you should be, and keep the area clean, and DON'T PICK UP THE FOOD WITH YOUR HANDS! Miss JJ was still the best part of the whole stay here. Meet her, take care of her, and she'll take care of you, guaranteed.
