Top Columbus Hotel Reviews

Fairfield Inn & Suites Columbus

10/10 Excellent

"We loved everything about this property. Will definitely make this my go to when I’m in the area"

Days Inn by Wyndham Columbus

8/10 Good

"Please let me preface by saying my comments about weight are NOT meant to shame the person on question. We arrived at about 8 pm & entered the lobby for check in. Gave my name and ID. The employee had difficulty reaching his computer mouse due to size. In the process, mouse fell on the floor. The employee asked me to enter the locked area behind the desk. To assist him. It was after dark, so it was locked with a key pad. I did not want to cause him trouble, so I agreed. He verbally gave me the code, I entered the office, returned it from the floor, & placed it in his hand. I exited the staff area & locked the door behind me. We checked in as normal, but I did notify him that we were "sleeping in" and would not be checking out until 10:50 am. We planned to pass the time rearing at the going straight to the uni once registertion was open. Night was uneventful, other patrons were quiet & respectful. At 8:00 am, housekeeping banged on the door & entered without waiting for an answer. I told them we would not leave until 10:50 am. They returned. 3 times over the course of 2 hours. Each time I said I would be leaving town minutes before the official check out time. We verified the check out time was 11. However, we vacated the room at 10:05 am, after the fourth housekeeping employee banged on the door and entered without waiting. My concerns: •Security. Allowing guests behind the desk by giving out code is dangerous •Stafe forcing/entering rooms before check out without consent"

Cozy 2-Bedroom River Front Cabin in Columbus, MS

10/10 Excellent

"Great place for a weekend. My kids love it. Melissa is a great host. It's a little spooky driving out at night for the first time but it's a lot of fun. We have stayed twice and would recommend! I recommend getting there before dark so you don't have a million bugs around the doors from the lights."
