“Comfortable and clean”

White Columns Motel

Jan 11, 2008
3/3 found this review helpful

An older motel, but suited our needs - quiet and safe, with clean bed and bath. We weren't looking for the spas, golf courses, tennis courts, etc. at the area resorts (and the prices they charge for access to those), especially for a single night stay. Owners very friendly. A couple nearby restaurants offer 10% discount for those staying at White Columns - very nice perk!

My mom and I traveled to Pine Mountain to visit Callaway Gardens for the Christmas lights. I picked this hotel based on price and the reviews I had read.

The hotel is an older style hotel and clearly has been around for a while, so expect it to look a little tired- Also, the room we had didn't look like any pictured on their website- upon discussions with the owner it sounds like they are updating what they can, so it is possible that some rooms look like that. The furniture was older and somewhat scratched. However, it was clean and the beds were comfortable. I saw that one of the other reviews mentioned that the room smelled of stale mold- didn't find that at all. In fact, the windows were all open in the room when we arrived (and it was in the 40s)- we were told that they kept them open when the rooms were not being used to allow them to air out. I will admit that I was concerned that the room would never get warm after having the windows open so long, however within an hour it was very toasty in the room.

The couple who run this hotel are very nice and extremely helpful. They went out of their way to provide anything we needed, even replaced the microwave in the room. Also, provided a coffee machine upon request. Would stay here again if I ever visit Callaway again.

Positives: Very close to Callaway Gardens (about 1 to 2 minute by car). Clean rooms.

Negatives: Older hotel, small bathroom. The continental breakfast was served outside, however I believe that was due to small lobby area- you would be better off grabbing breakfast elsewhere.

My husband and I stayed here for four nights and found it to be very clean, quiet and close to all of the attractions. It had everything that you would find in any of the major motel chains. What we especially liked was the fact it was small, all on one floor and there was a nice view out of the front and back windows. The beautiful magnolia tree in the front yard along with the swing made you feel you were a guest in someone's home instead of in a motel. The owners were gracious and we can't remember when we've had such a relaxing stay.

Very nice family bought hotel in 2005. Older hotel as in ole school, park by room, one level. Nice walk into town where you will find a number of very average resturants. Clean rooms of which most are a bit small. Try Rosevelt's "lookout, barbque" on top on the mountain in park. Great trails in park as well.

I stayed for a week at this place, it is a very quiet and nice small motel with rooms where there is no room above or behind your room. Also, it has a beautifully landscaped ground area and a big magnolia tree with a swing where you can stretch your legs under the shade during evening times.

Motel is just few minutes drive to nearby attractions Callaway Gardens, wild animal safari, butts mill farm , Little White house and also walking distance to great restaurants and pine mountain downtown.

I would highly recommend this motel which also has free high speed wireless internet with Cable TV, Microwave and refrigeratior in each room.

Their service is excellent and I loved their morning coffee and breakfast !!
