Top Columbus Hotel Reviews

Fairfield Inn & Suites Columbus

2/10 Terrible

"Hotels.com overcharged for the rooms after the original room rate. They also upped the number of guest by 1 per day. I will never use Hotels.com again."

Quality Inn Columbus, MS

6/10 Okay

"Staff is polite, check in quick. Breakfast was ok. This motel is LOUD. Noise from guests, road, parking lot, it is very loud. It is also worn and not very clean (The shower area was mildewed). I was disappointed, the price was good, other reviews sounded good, they did not stay in the same place I did. "

Days Inn by Wyndham Columbus

10/10 Excellent

"The gentleman who checked us in was really friendly, polite, and quick! He and I talked a bit about our recent back surgeries, that ironically were exactly one day apart. As he was on the computer checking us in, I was met by this little boy who asked me how many beds I wanted, and proceeded to acted as if he was also on a computer! The building and its surroundings were very clean. Our room was also very clean and had newer looking furniture and bedding. Our room had the jet/hottub, a refrigerator that was decent size, and a microwave even though the description didn’t mention it. By the way, our carpet was very clean and appeared newer. We will definitely be back every time we bring our youngest back to his dorm at MSU!!"

Cozy 2-Bedroom River Front Cabin in Columbus, MS

10/10 Excellent

"Amazing. Wow. One of our best trips ever. The river is amazing. We have seen nothing but wildlife and boats Very secluded. Very private. Huge barges, pontoons, fishing boats. Large amount of birds, fish, turtles, raccoons, deer, squirrels, possums, armadillos, coyotes, I dont think I ever saw this many cranes. In the morning we would see 5 fly by at a time - over and over.The breeze has been blowing upstream for 3 days (?). This morning it did stop and the river fogged over. This is a small cabin, but seems much larger bc of the porch and the space under the house. Its really only 20 minutes from Columbus but it seems like it’s on the Frontier or something. The cabin is really neat. Well built. Very well built. Spotless clean."
