Booked this room during a bad time with storm evacuation stress and in a hurry with overcrowded hotels so we had to use Hotels.com. This created issues with the fees for a pet stay. We booked 3 nights only stayed 2. When discussed with the property manager we settled on one free night and paying pet fees of $30 for 2 nights. We checked out 1 day early and that should have left 1 night on our bill. The final cost for our 2 night stay including fees taxes etc is costing $450.50. That equates to 225.25 per night for an advertised $ $141.00 a night room. This is just wrong overall and possibly borders on price gouging of displaced folks trying to escape a life threatening major storm. Between Hotels.com and Best Western Plus Columbus Ga. Both share the responsibility for this. The hotel made verbal promises that they did not keep. I’m confused at why this seems so difficult as major companies doing business. I just want to pay what is fair and what the verbal contract they suggested at the time of check in with a hotel assistant manager and a desk clerk.
Please look at this and consider correcting a wrong and I will at that time complete the many surveys for satisfaction being sent.

i booked this hotel while i visited with my boyfriend graduating from basic training in fort moore. the hotel itself is beautiful, but there were several nasty stains on the wall of the bathroom that appear to be feces, as well as the sink leaking and leaving water all over the floor which i will notify them of again when i check out. we did however like the pool and the option to eat breakfast for free. i would come back again, but maybe to a different room.

The bathroom in our hotel was pretty dirty. Mold on the shower curtain and the mini fridge in the room did not close all the way. The carpet had weird stains on it, so did the walls.

We liked everything, except the curtains on the window were too long and didnt block out the lights from outside. Also the coffeemaker got stuck when we were trying to make coffee and we couldn't open it. I even asked the woman at the front desk for help and she couldn't get it open either.

Our room wasn’t cleaned unless we said something. We had to change our own bed and get clean towels. We need to leave a day early for emergency and they won’t refund one of stay.

The lobby was nice. Checkin was great. The room had a few items that I will remark about. The smell was of an older place. The shower had unappealing walls. The bottom of the bathroom door was well warped. The bathroom exhaust fan was noisy. The curtain did not close. The plumbing in the bathroom was below par, but the beds were great. We missed breakfast due to early surgery. But did get coffee in lobby. Room coffee maker not working per design. The hotel only had 1 ice maker on the 4 th floor that was operational. We were lucky enough to get the ground floor like we requested.

This is a nice affordable place. Staff was extremely nice and helpful. I just wasn't crazy about the bed but I like a nice firm bed. It was comfortable though.

I don’t usually do reviews but our stay warrants one. We stayed here on May 16, 2024, when we were in town to attend our son-in-laws OCS graduation at Ft. Moore. First I will start off with the front desk clerk Kristi, she was absolutely AMAZING, from our initial check in to me inquiring about the absolute pleasant smell inside the entire hotel. Her customer service was second to none, and then there was Shannon, and I couldn’t figure out if she was a manager or employee because she was doing it all and was so helpful with any and all questions that we had. Lastly this hotel was absolutely gorgeous and the top notch customer service added to that. There are so many restaurants and shopping all within a 2 miles of the hotel. It is an absolute must stay. We will stay here again and highly recommend.

I was here for my nephew high school graduation (May 18, 2024), and this was my first time staying in this hotel, and I love it. I like how it looked when I pulled up to it. I like the breakfast, I just wish it was more of a selection though but overall I like the hotel and would recommend it.
