After reading a terrible review on a hotel that we had booked prior to heading off to Columbus, I decided to take a peak on Trip Advisor, and was pleased to find the Microtel, which had better reviews, and was a cheaper rate.
I was heading to Columbus to see my cousin graduate from OCS from the Army at Ft. Benning. It was nice arriving at a hotel that was newer, yet not over the top.
It had a wonderful fresh smell to the lobby, with its bright colors, and excentric furniture. The one thing that was bad about this hotel was the time it took to get checked in....nearly 30 minutes. (Wouldn't reccomend arriving around 3:00 p.m......Shift change).
We got to our room, which was very bright, with lime green walls. The room was clean, and had the necessary things that a hotel of that size should have. The beds were neatly made, and there were fresh towels in the bathroom. All was well, until I realized that the walls are paper thin, and you can hear your neighbors as if they are in the room with you. This was hard to accept the first night, as it made for falling asleep quite hard.
All in all I would reccomend this hotel for people who want a cheap stay while in Columbus. The "continental breakfast" is VERY limited, but there is something. It is close to the highway and just a short drive to Ft. Benning.
