    Moldy coffee maker
    Enoch M.

    Is there a half star rating? I got here for school and the check in was quick and simple. The room on the other hand was filthy. The first thing I noticed was the broken hinge on the closet door, no big deal. Well the toilet had actual crap in it. Pretty gross huh, it gets better. Hair in the shower, yep you know what kind. The shower doesn't drain completely so there's always a puddle. The main room smelled funky and I'm pretty sure I got a rash on my arm after sleeping in the bed. I went to make coffee the next morning and low and behold, my coffee maker has a knack old moldy coffee packet in it. I can't make this stuff up. If you have a choice, don't stay here. Also, it's very inconvenient unless you're on the first floor, there are no elevators.

    Where should I start, the price isn't bad but I guess you get what you pay for. The room was dirty. We found pubic hair on the blanket on one of the beds. We have been finding finger nails around the room that don't belong to us. When I checked in I gave them my credit card but for some reason they didn't charge it. So I had to drive back over to the office for them to charge me for the room. But when they called to inform me they didn't charge me, they acted like it was my fault and I was trying to get over on them. So I go to the office to pay and I asked if I needed the room longer would that be ok, well they took it as I was checking out. So they checked me out. I get a knock on the door asking why I was still here. So a few minutes later I get another call from the front desk asking why I told them I was checking out and didn't leave. Even though they didn't take the keys from me they blamed me for saying I was leaving. So once again I had to drive over to the office and pay them again and get my keys fixed to let me in my room. It's been a pain to stay here and the room was dirty. Pubic hair on the blanket is pretty nasty.

    The bed post was just laying on my bed

    I'm going to go right ahead and say it, some of the surrounding areas and hotels/inns near Fort…read moreMoore are a wee bit sketch in my opinion. I say that with all politeness but I wouldn't be being fully transparent if I didn't mention it. If you are new to the area and looking for a place to stay nearby, this Hampton Inn location is an excellent decision. When I told my son we'd grab a place to stay 2minutes from the base the evening before he was set to report back at 6a, he wasn't overly thrilled. I assured him it looked ok from my research. As soon as he realized it was next door to the Infantry Museum he knew it was ok. The staff were very friendly. We slept well at night. The hotel has a pool and serves a hot breakfast in the morning. They have a small military discount and while I haven't stayed at anything on the base I can confidently say this is a safe and great place to stay if you're looking to be nearby. If you're traveling as a family, the pool and brekke options may be especially nice. Had I known there was a pool sooner, I think we would have spent a bit of time out there. Perfect for summer stays! They had cookies out at night and I spotted grab and go style lunch/snack packs during the day, in addition to coffee/tea/hot cocoa out 24/7. They have small refrigerators in the room (no freezer) we did root beer floats for dessert but ended up needing to toss our ice-cream as we wouldn't be able to freeze it. Plenty of safe, lit parking in large lot out front. I mention this as we had two cars (a rental and his car we'd have transported to Columbus) full of my sons belongings and I really wanted to ensure that his items were safe overnight. Exceptional waffle maker at the breakfast buffet! Made the most perfectly crisp waffle :) Clean, comfy and caring. You're in good hands here.

This place was infested with cockroaches. they allow people to make all kind of racket coming in and out at 2:30 3 o'clock in the morning. then I spoke with another gentleman and they only charged him and his partner $50 for a room. After charging me 85 with the military discount. I would not let my dog sleep in this place again. I will send pictures of the room when I get back to it. Is the absolute worst motel I've ever seen in my life. I would never ever again spend even $20 per night in a place like this.

When I went into the bathroom to wash my hands, I immediately noticed a stained and unclean towel so I decided to check a few more. There were several towels that were obviously nasty which left me with an uncomfortable feeling about the cleanliness of our room. I called downstairs and asked to speak with the manager and the receptionist (Carlin) said he was in a meeting and asked what she could help me with so I started explaining to her about the stained/nasty towels hanging in our bathroom. Suddenly the phone clicked out, so, I called back to the front desk in a matter of seconds and the manager (Mr. Alex, an Indian man) answered however, I could here the lady talking to him in the background. The manager said that they've been having big problems with the phone whereas it'll just cut off. I told him to let me hold on the phone while the receptionist (Carlin) tell him what my complaint was. He asked me what the problem was and I said to him if the phone is gonna keep turning off then let me hold on while Carlin explained to him about my concern. Nonetheless, he wasn't listening and was very rude. I told Mr. Alex that I was running out of time to prepare for my pick so we simply ended the call. In addition to the nasty towels, there was a red shirt left in the drawer that had something about abortions on it. Those issues were clear indicators that the room had not been properly cleaned or sanitized. At that point my husband and I would've checked out but it was the week for military graduations and all of the hotels were fully booked. We sanitized the room ourselves with OdoBan, Lysol and Clorox wipes. We thought to also go to a local store to simply purchase our own towels. Taking into account of Covid, germs, and other viruses that's around nowadays, cleanliness along with sanitation should be first and foremost however, at this location it's obviously not their concern. This Holiday Inn Express Hotel & Suites Columbus/Fort Benning, 3901 Victory Dr, Columbus, Georgia is NOT the norm for the well known hotel chain. I will NEVER, EVER reserve this hotel again, nor will I recommend it to anyone. Whoever is the Lead for housekeeping ought to be fired along with the manager (Mr. Alex). This particular hotel sets a terrible example for the Holiday Inn Express chain. When visiting Columbus, Georgia it would behoove visitors not to reserve a room at this hotel and seek accomandations elsewhere in order to be safe. Stay here at your own risk!!!

    When I wanted to decide between Abrams Hall and Gavin Hall on ft benning I had a hard time finding…read moreany reviews or information. I hope this helps others. There is an obvious price difference between the two but they are located "next" to each other. And by next I mean you need to drive there and you can't really walk there. It's a 10 minute walk or three minute drive. Check in is at Abrams Hall. Abrams is where the money is made so it's where the focus is. The contentinental breakfast at Abrams is better. The rooms are nicer and cleaner at Abrams. However if you have a pet, you'll have to stay at Gavin. Abrams only has one bed in each room so that's another factor. Gavin hall has rooms with one bed or two beds. The rooms with two beds have a small, separate living room with couch and two televisions. Neither hotel areas have a dining table or real eating area. Gavin Hall for me just didn't cut it. We did stay there but then ended up switching to Abrams. The bed was so squeaky we couldn't even sleep at night. The next room we switched to had a metal piece sticking out from the bed and cut one child's leg and bruised the other child in four places. Laundry is free here. The rooms are not spotless. If you looked behind doors or in closets or doors you could see dirt or walls with a build up of filth. But seriously it's $74 so you are getting what you pay for. Ultimately this place is convenient. If you're staying on base to visit someone who is already on base, Ft Benning is so huge that staying off base adds a good 20 min to your travel time. It's kind of like the Motel 6 for on base travel. Affordable, convenient, and matching the price.

You check in there and then drive over to Gavin Hall. The parking is free and the building is well maintained. No restaurant but there is a continental breakfast daily. This hotel was very simple, nice seating area, elevators, vending machines, and a nice view of some of the property. There are a couple of eating places directly across the street and a grocery store. I would definitely stay here again.

I went to the front desk and advised I had a reservation and a male handed me the keys to room 26 and advised if I was not satisfied, he would cancel the reservation and not charge me. Like so many other reviews from customers, management's only intention is to take your money and leave you completely UNSATISFIED and scammed!!! Regarding room 26, it was dirty, the bed covering was old and smelled and the toilet and tub were rust covered and bugs were having a play date on the floor. The unfortunate thing, is that customers from all over come book reservations here and until they arrive at the property they realize they are trapped...unable to cancel and still have to pay. This is also a poor reflection on Booking.con, Expedia, TripAdvisor, etc for promoting places like this!!!!

I know it's a…read morecheap place and I shouldn't expect much but there should be some minimum acceptable standard. First off, the other reviewer is talking about a completely different place over near Savannah. This place doesn't have a buffet and even if it did you wouldn't want it. First off they advertise a Pool and COLOR Cable TV. Can you call it a pool if there's no water in it? The Registration/Check-in was just nasty. I should have turned around. There's a mangy cat on the counter licking itself and the guy behind the counter no kidding has no more than four upper teeth and a speech impediment. He wanted a $50.00 deposit on the room! The nightly rate wasn't $50.00! It didn't get better at the room. The door knob on the door was close to falling off. No point in locking it, just take the knob off. There wasn't much inside to steal anyway. Yes, they have Color Cable TV On a 17" TV with a tube, not flat screen. The cable must have been new because the Rabbit Ears antenna was still on the top of the set. No remote and it was bolted to the dresser. I asked for a single bed because it was just me down here for the week. I should have gotten a double to provide adequate accommodations to the cock roaches running around. I call base housing and make arrangements to spend the week. Had to use my cell because there wasn't a phone. Actually there was one and it looked like someone threw it at a wall. Either way, no dialtone. I'm good now. Got arrangements at the base, didn't even unpack. Step into the restroom before driving down to Benning and there is a LARGE dead rat in the toilet. It either drowned or died from the toxins in the water. Apparenly "housekeeping" didn't notice. Do you flush it? I decided to hold off until I checked in at Benning. Good thing because the last person to use the restroom wiped with the toilet paper but didn't take it off the roll first! So nasty. No shower curtain so the water apparently went everywhere, causing significant mold growth. Back up front, I toss the keys over the counter and let the guy know I'm not staying in this place. Not even moving to another room. I'd rather sleep in the middle of Victory Drive and take my chances. He argues about refunding the money while an argument goes down in the parking lot outside that leads me to believe gunfire isn't far away. We go back and fourth and I finally get my money. Step out and the two dudes that were arguing are literally beating the crap out of each other. Like UFC type beating. I pull out and make a left as a squad car pulls into the lot. Not sure who called them but they didn't call from my room. No mas.

Wow, what a tip!! I stopped at this place on I-95 while returning to New York the other day for lunch. It is basically a motel dining room buffet so you enter through the motel entrance. Met by a lovely southern accented hostess we payed our $16 (for the both of us!!!) and proceed to the buffet table. This amazing buffet had Fried chicken, baked chicken, sausage, chitlins, beef stew, stewed chicken, barbecued pork, mashed potatoes, sweet potatoes, string beans, butter beans, black eyed peas, collard greens, corn bread and biscuits as well as a few other things (so many on this buffet, I forgot). The fried chicken, mostly dark meat and wings, was moist and tender with a fantastic crunchy coating. The sausages were nice and spicy, baked chicken thigh, flavorful and all the extras were hot and delicious. The return to the buffet for dessert was a treat with three types of cobblers, a number of cakes and pies as well as banana pudding. The standout was the peach cobbler with the best and flakiest crust I ever tasted!! Our waitress never stopped filling our glasses with delicious sweet tea as well. So, if you find yourself on I-95 heading for your destination and feel a little hunger pang coming on make this another destination. It's worth the stop.

Room was moderately clean, parking has very low lighting, egress for Impaired travel not ideal. On 4/25/2023 property is currently under renovation, so all amenities are not available but they are operating as if they are, and the price on your room will reflect that. Just travel 10 minutes NORTH and prices will stay the same, but with more resources and also a better environment. Not worth saving a couple bucks. An array of abandon vehicles and building surround this property, an abundance of homeless people, various pawn, shops, and liquor stores will welcome you to your uncompetitively priced room.

This whole side of town was a bit run down. I thought my GPS was lost but alas no. On first glance the room was nice. Then I inspected the room, as is my custom when I am in a new room. No bed bugs, no stains on the bed, no weird smells, clean bathroom, but stained carpet and worn out chairs. The walls were thin and there were children on our floor with shrill voices, so that was a headache. Amenities provided that we used: + Full-sized fridge + Shampoo, conditioner, lotion, soap + Coffee maker We considered eating the provided breakfast but skipped out to meal with friends in town. Wish the hotel room was a little less run down, but it served its purpose.
