Courtyard Columbus

This was my first time staying at a Courtyard. I was visiting Columbus to see my brother graduate from basic training. My girlfriend used her AAA discount and was able to get a room for $ 76. That’s less than we normally pay for a room. We stayed here for two nights and I have no complaints.
The room was very clean and we had a patio that went into the courtyard. The bed was also very comfortable. We had a King bedroom and it included a sofa bed and a mini fridge. The mini fridge wasn’t functioning correctly though. It took a long time for something to be considered cold. My mom had a queen double bed room but she didn’t have a pull out bed. The rooms were equal otherwise.
My girlfriend had an erroneous charge on her receipt but the desk clerks refunded her immediately without issue. They were awesome. They also went out of their way to make sure we had adjacent rooms. Make sure you ask for Mercedes or Sarah. They’ll take care of you.

The beds and customer service is better than Duluth, Georgia!!! Only 3 stars tho, due to no elevator and special services for elite members… Satisfying stay, but don’t pay more than $ 90.00… If you pay more, it’s not worth it!!! If in the Columbus area I would stay here, but I’ve received better treatment from other Courtyard’s in the past… It might be time to start back using my Hilton rewards!!!

Had to do an overnight at this hotel and I wasn’t very impressed. I was greeted exceptionally well by the front desk manager… wish I could remember her name! I’m a platinum member, so I think I got one of their better rooms. For starters, I couldn’t open the sliding door to the balcony and when I tried, I large screw fell out of the door. The beds were comfortable, but that’s a standard for courtyard. The rooms really need to be modernized, like they have done in the lobby. Not sure I’ll stay here when I return next month.

Don’t stay here for business… I usually stay at Courtyards when u travel on business because of room comfort and ease of grabbing breakfast in the morning. This Courtyard just doesn’t match up to the rest.
Breakfast service so slow I didn’t have time to wait. I appreciate them letting me know it was going to be slow instead of charging me and then surprising me but it’s not acceptable to have such a slow breakfast.
In terms of comfort, I don’t know whatever happened to regular pillows but the miniature pillows used here are very uncomfortable. God forbid you turn over to your other side while sleeping, your head will no longer be on the pillow with how small these things are.
I would look into other options in the area as there are plenty to choose from.

Suite of was nice and clean. Staff was courteous and helpful.
One issue — WiFi. Though it is free the speed and connectivity is very bad. Plus I’m sure they are blocking mobile phone hotspot signals. I had 4 bars of LTE signal and so did the 3 other phones in the suite yet none were able to get the hotspot connected. Even connected via USB cable. They all work elsewhere. This blocking was made illegal recently I think so I’m going to check and report if necessary.

If you are looking for the Ritz and a bidet, stop reading now. This was my first visit to Columbus GA. There are several more trips in my future. Summary: I will stay there again and become a regular. I found this hotel on Expedia. The pics on expedia are true to reality Furnishings inside are very modern and comfortable and the place shows well, clean and orderly. High marks for the redecorating. But highest marks go to the staff, who really make one feel welcome and cared for. Special acknowledgements to Christa. She can connect your electronics to the internet AND make a great cappuccino having managed a Starbucks in San Fran. She seems to be everywhere you need her. Rest of the staff is likewise. The hotel itself is an older «efficiency» design of the mid 80’s is my guess. Because the design of the building is older you get the usual downsides; walls and doors are a little thin, conversation and activities in the hall way are easily heard in rooms, the building has two levels however there is no elevator (seniors, disabled and the just plain lazy should ask for a room on the deck), bathrooms are basic, sink, lav and shower/​tub. The redecorating was done well though and it is very clean and well kept. Hotels at this price point are my specialty and this is one of the best.

Had a wonderful stay. Great staff, helpful and friendly! Thanks Marcus for the recommendation!

It’s standard Courtyard. I ended up in a room that has the adjoining configuration so there was only a chair and not a couch. It was weird. The workspace is decent and you can see the TV. It has the renovated new standard lobby.
I don’t know why anyone questions the layout. This is what Courtyard layouts are unless the hotel was retrofitted. It’s a big square with a courtyard in the middle. The elevator was Not convenient and really annoying; this I took the stairs. It’s a clean quiet room. Make sure to get an inside room.

Staying here with a team of co-​workers RIGHT NOW, and I’m not particularly happy. I expect a lot more out of a Marriott property.
GOOD:
Front desk staff is always friendly
Working elliptical in the gym (that’s what I use to work out)
They gave the government rate
BAD:
Wireless internet is HORRIBLE. Do whatever you need to do to improve the speed, the signal strength, or something. Sure, it’s free, but it is awful. RIDICULOUSLY slow.
I have to hold down the handle on my toilet for about 10 seconds to get it to flush. This needs to be fixed. Hope it’s just my room and not every room like this.
No elevator. I understand this is due to the age of the building. I wish the hotel’s website would have clearly indicated this. I didn’t need the elevator, but I have a team member who isn’t quite as mobile, and an elevator would be very welcomed by her.
They’re doing some sort of renovations downstairs. The workers doing it prop the doors open, even when there are no workers present. This leaves the building unsecure. I’m not paranoid, but I’m military, and security while traveling is something that is drilled into us, so this is an obvious example of something that’s wrong. The door being propped open can usually only be opened by a guest using his/​her room key. When it’s left open, anybody can access the building. I don’t anticipate any illegal activity, but it’s just wrong on general principle.
Overall, it’s just a bad value for the cost, even if I’m getting it at the government rate.

It was a clean, safe Courtyard that I stayed at for a month a few months ago. There was a nice outdoor swimming pool with a Starbucks café in the lobby. So it was a pretty nice set up.
The staff was excellent. Honestly one of the best staffs at a Marriott that I’ve ever stayed at. Also if you’re a runner, there is a running trail for miles literally across the street.
The only problems were that the hot tub was either non existent or didn’t work, and it wasn’t really close to a lot of restaurants, although there were a few to choose from.

Pros: Looks to be in good shape, clean common areas and room, nice reception area, safe location, big room, 30% military discount, balcony.
Cons: Noticed a slight smell like b.o. in bathroom area, strange «mushy» feel to bed (I’ve stayed in lots of hotels. This isn’t soft/​nice, its a strange feeling and you can feel the pattern sewn into the mattress as if you only have a sheet underneath with no mattress pad, which is a gross feeling in a hotel bed), apparently paper-​thin walls left me hearing neighbor’s tv and conversations at 7am.
If you’re at all picky, you’d likely complain and not enjoy your stay. If you just need the basics, perhaps you’ll be okay. I had a tough time with the feel of the bed.
Oh, and I just found out they forgot to reset the alarm clock from the prior guest. Awesome.

I’ll start out with the positives. The hotel was clean and overall, the room was comfortable. In fact, this location appears to have been recently renovated. The staff was friendly and helpful and they now have complimentary wired/​wireless internet access.
Unfortunately, this building must have previously been a motel-​type Courtyard. As a result, it doesn’t conform to the typical layout and doesn’t live up to the usual quality or ammenities… or the Courtyard/​Marriott price point.
Probably the most glaring example of this (pun fully intended) is that the single floor layout meant that when other guests left early in the morning, they were standing right outside my sliding glass door as they loaded their car. The noise of their loading/​talking was then followed by their bright headlights beaming into my eyes. :-/​
The hotel is good enough that I’d perhaps return if it became necessary (making a point to park MY car in front of my room) except that it’s not worth the usual Courtyard/​Marriott pricetag. Therefore it was more of a value issue than the room being uncomfortable or the stay «bad» per se.
I really wish Unilocal allowed for half stars as I’d really have given this hotel 2.5 stars instead of just two.

This was a decent hotel. Excellent staff, as they are always friendly and helping you in anyway they can. You can tell the folks there actually take pride in their job unlike many places today. The beds are comfortable. There is only wired Internet (unless your room is close to lobby) but they do give you a Ethernet cord to use. The Internet is free but it requires you to reconnect several times a day. If there are loud people next door you can hear them but it wasn’t enough to keep me up so it didn’t bother me much. I probably won’t stay at this particular location again but I’d still recommend it to others.

After getting off of a flight with a long miserable delay, I made my trek over to this miserable place.
There is a sign at the check-​in desk stating that this is either the 5^th or 6^th courtyard ever built. This is the only reason why I’m giving this place two stars instead of one. I’m cutting it some slack due to it’s age. The front desk lady was friendly as well. Other than that, I couldn’t wait to check-​out.
Biggest complaints —
No WiFi !!! — Only wired internet, and you had to have your own ethernet cable (Which fortunately I had) No laying on the bed while you surf the web. :(
No Vending machines !! — Their «shop» at the front sold me a $ 4 bottle of bottled water. This is what I’d expect to pay in Manhattan, or on the Vegas Strip maybe. but in Columbus, GA? Come on! Also, the signage for the Vending machines was still up! I followed the signs for twenty minutes as they kept pointing me in circles, but no vending machines appeared! Oh well, at least it was exercise.
Paper thin walls — I could hear the conversations next door without any difficulty at all. I’m sure they were upset at my incessant coughing and nose blowing as well. :((I couldn’t help it, I was sick!)
Also, the place just seemed old and worn out. Granted, due to it’s age I cut it some slack in that department… however, it certainly didn’t feel like a very welcoming place. I didn’t find the bed very cozy either.
I’ve stayed in other courtyards and marriott properties which knock the socks off of this place. I’d find another option if you’re coming to Columbus.

I recently had a pleasant stay for two nights at this Courtyard. The rooms were clean and the beds were comfortable. The staff was very prompt and genuinely friendly.
The buffet is not complementary but decent if you don’t want to go looking for a breakfast spot.
If I have business in Columbus, GA in the future I would definitely consider this hotel.
