Horrible experience...we were here for our sons basic training graduation. 3 night stay. Multiple rooms with famiy and friends staying as well. Our room was nasty. We arrived late so the next morning mentioned it, they cleaned the wrong room. Husband told front desk...they moved us. New room, bathroom just as dirty, throwup in one of the closets. Worst thing....hubby found one of the AIT grads wallets outside and asked the asst mgr to please call him down so he could give him his wallet. Being a soldier, the knows the risk of handing over a wallet with military info inside. He even explained this to the asst mgr. She had a fit...said she took offense, even with him calmly explaining to her why it was his duty as a soldier and "officer" to hand this back in person. As he was walking away she called him an [--]. Everything got worse from there with her mouth going nonstop. We asked to speak to the owner, whom we had seen many times around the hotel the previous days, but now he was MIA. He was called and told we would like to speak with him..we were told the next day that he showed up really late and left really early. Wow...I guess his guests were not worth his time when there are problems. WE will never stay here again! Even the free "nasty" breakfast was not worth the problems, dirt, throwup, and rudeness of this place! The hotel itself is not up to par at all. Huge stains on the carpets and floors, dirt everywhere.

The hotel was nice on the outside until you get to the pile of garbage by the front door. The lady GM has her family working there. Seems very ghetto. I am retired military but unless you look like your active military the owner doesn't speak. The little lady in the breakfast room was rude and for an hour or so only lets certain people in. The food was cold, the orange juice and milk was empty. The room had dust bunnies, trash under the sink, mold in the bathroom. What makes it worse is the housekeeping staff are quite rude. Never again. I actually moved down the road to Holiday Inn which the room was GREAT, the staff even BETTER!

Clean,big rooms,everything works,great location-convenient to everything,quiet.
Friendly helpful staff.
Appreciates young men and women and families who protect our country.
Innkeeper on top of everything,ever present,goes beyond call to be helpful.
Great property.
Not a better bed at any price!

My stay was on Saturday, August 18th while in Columbus to attend a gala at the Natl Infantry Museum & Soldier Ctr. The 1st thing I noticed upon entering the hotel was the clean & bright lobby. Off the main lobby were some nice meeting rooms. The owner, Duke Doubleday, has personalized the showcase in the lobby area by displaying letters, photographs, awards, and patriotic items associated with his military career and his work with military families. Books of interest are also available to be checked out by guests. The first floor has a nice laundry area and exercise room. My room was on the first floor and had a very nice view of the beautiful salt-water pool and outdoor pavilion with 2 outdoor grills and attractive yard furniture. A veranda runs the length of one side of the hotel and is furnished with rocking chairs and ceiling fans, and the large oak trees provide nice shade. My room was clean, comfortable & quiet, and I would definitely recommend this hotel for families who need the convenience of a kitchenette. The pleasant outdoor area is a gathering place for families who are visiting their loved ones at Ft. Benning and allows them to mingle with other guests. It was nice to see the warm camaraderie among families and soldiers. This hotel is a good bargain with some better-than-expected amenities.
