Days Inn by Wyndham Columbus-North Fort Moore

10/10 Excellent

"Todo muy bueno piscina limpia y toallas y ropa de dormir limpia al igual de toallas de piscina"

Microtel Inn & Suites by Wyndham Columbus/Near Fort Benning

10/10 Excellent

"Excellent customer service with recently renovated rooms. Everything is immaculate and found the rooms to be better than comparable and even higher-priced hotels. Very close proximity to Fort Benning for those seeking out accommodations for Army graduation. I'm not a breakfast person, so as long as there's coffee, I'm happy. Plenty of restaurants in the area and Doordash easily delivers directly to the rooms. I'm a bit picky when it comes to hotels and this one was absolutely perfect in almost every way. It's highly unlikely I'll return to Columbus following my son's basic training graduation, but if I ever do, I'd definitely stay here again. Note: I see some people refer to the immediate surrounding areas as being "not great". I live outside of Baltimore and travel there and to DC frequently. I never felt unsafe and I'm a woman. The immediate area isn't easily walkable (major highways intersecting nearby), but it's still close to many stores, restaurants, etc. Just like any place, lock your car doors and be aware of your surroundings, but, again, I felt completely safe here! Also, military families are told to stay away from Victory Drive. It's not that bad to me, but I wouldn't be walking out there at night. Just like adjacent to many military bases, there's always a strip that contains strip clubs, bars, drugs and prostitutes. No big surprise and no big deal. Just stay away from these areas (unless this is what you're actually seeking out)."

Courtyard by Marriott Columbus

10/10 Excellent

""EVERYONE" here was extremely pleasant and easy to deal with. From the front desk manager to the girls who take care of the rooms. Several young men who were staff members greeted me first in the morning when I came out for coffee. A solid greeting, looked me in the eye and said good morning sir , which I appreciate. Food court served an outstanding breakfast burrito (no free breakfast) but the rates were outstanding for a Marriot property. Highly recommend you stay here !"
