Microtel Inn And Suites Columbus/Ft. Benning

Was visiting from NY to see my boyfriend for family day. Was actually trying to book the Hampton Inn but they were pretty expensive, so I ended going with this hotel. The room was pretty clean and the staff were very friendly. Literally 10 mins from the Peachtree shopping mall. I was very happy I chose this hotel instead.

Booked thru Expedia. Was greeted by very friendly staff. We asked about good places to eat at and were given several options. Our room was very nice, clean, and was given extra blanket with no problems. The next day the staff was just as friendly. We are very happy with our experience.

Hey ok this hotel was awesome. We went for my buddies graduation from FT Benning, It’s literally 4 miles away from FT Benning Army base (just a tip, if going to the base for a graduation leave At least an hour early for traffic and take the freeway route only, no side street routes to the base have base access, regardless of what gps tells you). The rooms were good sized, and beds were over the top comfortable and breakfast was really good. To be more specific breakfast consisted of eggs, different types of sausages depending on days, assorted muffins, bagels, bread (toast), pancakes, fruit, yogurts, coffee, tea, juices and cereal. I really liked the cleanliness of hotel, how close it was to the base, a grocery store and the hotel staff were all so friendly and helpful. Overall I would stay again, I would recommend to anyone going to FT Benning. Please feel free to contact me with any questions.

I was really excited staying at this hotel. Because it was closest to Ft. Benning and it seemed very moderate from what I saw on the internet. I ordered a non-​smoking room. I had a room on the ground level. And I smelled smoked throught out my whole 3 day stay. I politely asked in the lobby if theres any other available rooms that are non-​smoking. She says that they were all booked, but that she would put a note in. The problem never got solved. And the walls are very thin because I could hear my neighbors tv, conversation, and rough door slamming. I expected way more from them.

Great Service! Great Price! Southern hospitality at it’s best. Though it is a hotel chain., the woman at the counter was so sweet I felt like I was staying at a bed and breakfast. The room and linens were nice and clean. Great location. Close to Fort Benning.

Gross! The first room has dirty towels that were still wet hanging behind the door in the bath room. Then hair was on some of the rags and bed. The front desk clerk changed our rooms; however hair was on one of the beds, you could hear people talking in the other room, and I latter started to smell marijuana. I was too tired to go to another hotel after driving fire hours, and thank God it was for one night

This was the second time we stayed at this hotel & I’ve loved it both times. The staff is VERY friendly & will help you in any way they can.
The rooms though on the small side were very clean & nicely done.
We used the pool this time & the water was a little chilly but overall it was very nice.
The breakfast they offer is good. The second time we stayed the waffle maker was down the whole time. That’s my only complaint & that’s very minor.
It was very convient to Fort Benning GA.
I would recommend this hotel to anybody that asks.

I have to give this place 5 stars because it was above and beyond my expectations and needs for the price I paid. Instead of reserving rooms online, I called directly and actually got a better price on the room (two doubles, no-​smoking).
It was very easy to get to, literally 3 miles from our destination (Sand Hill at Fort Benning) and located immediately off I-​185 (you can’t miss it). Don’t be surprised by the small size outside, it is a lot larger than it appears.
The room was compact, but smart — no space was wasted. We had a mini-​fridge, a microwave, coffee pot, ironing board w/​iron, and a safe. The flat screen tv was mounted on the wall in perfect view of both beds. The beds were like the pillow-​top kind, soft but supportive. The bathroom was clean and roomy. The window looked out over the interstate but the view at night was pretty with all the lights. There was even a cushioned window seat to relax on.
The complimentary continental breakfast was very nice, with quite a few choices, both cold and warm (grits, bagels, waffles, etc.). The second morning we were surprised with sausage gravy for the biscuits. The lady who took care of it was on top of everything, making sure it was kept clean and well stocked.
There was also a pool, fitness room, and a coin-​op laundry, along with a little business station and free Wi-​Fi.
The manager told me the hotel was 3 years old — could have fooled us, it still looks brand new.
I highly recommend this place to anyone coming to the Columbus GA area, especially families traveling for basic training graduation. It is definitely more than worth the price and convenience.

This hotel is close to Ft. Benning (we were in town for my son’s graduation from basic), easy freeway access, clean, and inexpensive. Included with the price is a continental breakfast in the morning. The front office staff was accomodating and friendly. The only complaint I have is that the walls are rather thin — we could hear our neighbor’s TV blaring into all hours of the night. Other than that, I would recommend this hotel to Ft. Benning visitors.

This hotel is not a bad place. The building is fairley new, its a very short distance to the highway and Fort Benning. Its not in the best neighborhood so I would not recommend it to single females or women traveling alone with children. I was solicited for money in the lobby by a very downtrodden looking individual the first day I was there. On the up side, they have an expanded no cost continental breakfast that consists of frozen waffles, bicuits and gravy, as well as three types of cereals. There are also bagels and muffins but no fruit at all. Coffee is free all day. They have a pool that gets filled with children by 10:00 am. They also have a fitness center and coin-​op laundry. I had a sink in my room that had no cold water running to it, that is both knobs were for hot water… very odd. All in all, this is not a bad place to stay for a few days if you dont plan on being around and really only need a place to sleep. My only gripes were with the housekeeping and front desk staff. The housekeeping staff takes a very long time to get to your room so if you leave and hope to have a cleaned up room when you get back be gone… all day… no really… be gone until 7 or 8 PM. I was out from 6 am until 7 PM most days and in the 7 days I stayed here they made it to my room one time. The front desk staff were generally inatentive and looked to be bothered by your precense. They get the third star because th ebuilding is fairly new so the hotel looks good, carpet is in good shape and the furniture still looks good. In a few years, this place may not fare as well.

Just stayed at this hotel for Basic Training graduation. The hotel is probably the closest one to Sand Hill. It may not be the closest in mileage (although it might, I didn’t measure) but it’s definitely the closest in time. It’s right off the highway so you can get basically anywhere really fast.
It seems to be pretty new so it’s still clean and nice. The parking lot is well-​lit and I didn’t feel worried about the car OR myself at any time, even after dark. It’s no more than 2 blocks from a gas station and a grocery store, and a variety of restaurants are 1 exit away. The staff is also super nice.
The room was OK. No fridge or microwave in my room but I think some rooms do come with them. The price was pretty good (I think around $ 50-​$ 60 a night mid-​week). Even though it’s right off the interstate (I could see onto the highway from my room) it was really quiet. The walls aren’t paper-​thin and I heard NO traffic noise.
I will almost definitely be staying here when I come back in a few months. The only reason I might not is because I’m not sure if it’s the closest hotel to the area on post I need to be on, nothing to do with the hotel itself.
