What guests think

Across recent reviews, Travelodge by Wyndham Columbus State University is described as heavily worn and poorly maintained, with frequent reports of dirty common areas and rooms, pests, strong smoke odors, and broken fixtures that affect comfort and basic functionality.

Staff interactions are mixed, with some friendly and helpful agents but recurring complaints about rudeness, slow or absent assistance, and check-in or reservation issues. Facilities are in poor shape: the pool is typically closed, elevators and ice machines often fail, and entry doors and security feel unreliable. Breakfast is frequently missing or extremely minimal despite being advertised. Expect a budget stay near shops but in a rough-feeling area, and plan for limited amenities and inconsistent standards.

Property was not well-maintained. The carpets were moldy and the wall paper was tearing off in multiples places. There were two homeless people were shopping cart, sleeping in the parking lot. The pool was closed and covered and it is July. The fence to the pool was locked and looked as if some car had backed into it and was hanging down almost to the ground.

This hotel was close to restaurants and shopping but boy was it run down. We walked up to the front doors upon arriving and the doors were broke. With a big concrete trash bin blocking half the entrance. Lobby was dirty and beat up. Had a dining area but never seen anything being served in there. The hallways were dirty and smelly. The elevator was beat to hell. Our rooms were ok. Bathrooms had rust all around anything that water touched. Wasnt very happy with the stay here but the price wasnt bad. You get what you pay for i guess.

We have stayed at this facility before and it seems to be going down hill. Light bulbs in room not working or missing, ceiling in the room had paint/coating hanging down, toilet was clogged and they couldn't find a plunger (had to find a stick outside to clear it), the smell of pot was overwhelming at times, only 1 ice machine was working and second one was still broken since our last trip in March. Carpet in room was dirty. Pool has not been open since Covid. Final straw was the used condom on the ground at the front door. The area is sort of an enigma. It's an older area with lots of businesses nearby, but this block seems to have a fair number of homeless on and off. Some seem to hang out around the parking lot perimeter at times. On the good side, the front desk lady who tried to help us, (Monica, I think) was very nice, friendly and tried to take care of us as best she could. Housekeeping staff seemed nice as well. Bed was comfortable and the TV worked well.

This place needs a whole lot of reservation. The paint on the wall is peeling, the toilet barely flushed and the hot water is not working. In addition, the pool is full of mold, it seems like it hasn’t been cleaned in months. The elevator shakes and makes noises like as if it’s going to break. The carpet in our room was moist and there’s one small trashcan under the sink. This place is not what it looks like on the pictures online so please don’t waste your money.

The room was very musty. The TV didn't work. No phone in the rooms. The sheets were very dirty with blood stains.(see photos).Had to go downstairs for room service. Went downstairs to inquiry about the TV not working and the filthy bedding. Response was oh im sorry we have no maintenance ppl. So i asked for another room. Response was we have no more rooms available. Staff and residents were in the lobby smoking. I can go on and on about this hotel. When i booked online it said this was a LaQuinta , but when i got there is was a Travelodge. Horrible place to stay .

The property is not well lit in front of the entrance so coming in after my shift that night did not feel welcoming. The front desk staff was nice and check in went fine. Once I stepped onto my floor it reeked of stale cigarettes. Once I got to my room the door wasn’t easy to open I had to push with my shoulder just to get inside. The floor looked as though it had not been vacuumed with trash still on the floor including a cat treat bag. The remote was disgusting to touch it had gunk in it like it had never been wiped down ever. The shower had no shower curtain which I’ve never came across in any hotel anywhere if there was no door. Because it was so late I did stay the night but I could absolutely not finish this stay. This was the absolute worst hotel experience I have ever had. I wish I could give zero stars.

Take your $82 and spend a bit extra to stay in a decent hotel. We had to buy towels at Target to sleep on because the sheets were dirty. The tub was rusted and stained. The doors and walls were beaten up looking. The room darkening shade on the window fell off as I was trying to pull the cord to lower it. There was a dead fly in the table. The floor felt sticky. We did not see what was offered at the breakfast lobby. We checked out as early as possible. I doubt there have been many updates or renovations to the hotel in the past 10 years. It is definitely a showing its age.

Average property/facility. Room smelled musty and likely was previously smoked in. Bathtub drained but not fully and had standing water over night which is likely contributing to the musty/moldy situation in the room. Carpet was also damp and not very clean. Breakfast was continental and very minimal selection.

Arrived for 3pm check-in and told rooms not ready yet. Finally, checked in at 4. Room had very strong smell of tobacco for a non-smoking room. We had to open the window which looked out on their dumpster.That didn't help very much. Room was well worn , bathtub water could not be shut off completely, bathroom door scratched badly as if an animal (dog?) was trying to get out. Board of health in Columbus should inspect! Cannot believe this is a Wyndham property! We ended up there as it was the only place available in Columbus GA on Feb. 1st,2nd and 3rd. We were there for a ceremony at Ft. Moore. .

The only outlet by the sink and mirror kept making a clicking noise and didn't work. Turns out it was the GFC engaging because the wirring was done wrong and it wasn't grounded. We stayed for 5 days and I had ask for housekeeping services. And they didn't even sweep or vacuum the floors. The bathroom fan didn't work. I asked if they would have maintenance come fix the bathroom fan and the plug that didn't work and was making noise. They said we had to be out of the room when they came to fix it. So we did so. But it was for nothing because they never came and even looked at what was broke let alone fixed anything. We even had to get our own clean towels and take out our own trash. There's a night employee with an attitude problem (she has bright red hair). Horrible gust service from her. And to top it all off, I got sick from them serving spoiled milk at breakfast. And when I told the front desk about it that rude employee wasn't concerned at all and told me the GM wouldn't b in untill Monday and I could talk to her then. Also when I was booking this on the Expedia app I called the hotel to ask if there was a deposit when I check ín. The hotel clerk said no there wasn't a deposit. But then they want $50 deposit when I check ín

Everything from the lobby being dirty, to the door of our room stuck shut to the point where we could barely get in, everywhere you looked, something needed fixed. I would like to say that the front desk ladies were very kind and nice. Had it been a refundable, reservation, we would not have stayed here.

My reservation was cancel even though I received a call from the front desk assuring me my reservation will be ok. Honestly, when I got there I was glad it was canceled. From the looks of the lobby, it wasn't somewhere I would be comfortable staying. The outside of the building is very dirty. The lobby doesn't look like its been properly cleaned in years. So i can just imagine what the rooms looks like. I believe its more of a transient hotel. Where less fortunate people live. Would not recommend for vacation/travel.

Booking and check in was standard. Hotel is dingy and in poor repair. Complimentary breakfast was cereal on Friday, nothing on Saturday, and Sunday was cereal, bread for toast, and hostess mini muffins ( and somewhat palatable coffee). The room was clean but missing the smoke detector. The bathroom toilet was clogged upon arrival and I was issued a plunger upon speaking with the front desk. I actually had to go to the fr nt desk because the phone in the room was inoperable. The most unfortunate part of the stay was seeing roaches in the lobby/ breakfast area Sunday morning and another crawled out of my luggage the morning we were leaving.

I stood 1 night out of necessity but the next morning I checked out. Couldn't get out of that hotel soon enough.
