Econo Lodge Inn & Suites Columbus near Fort Benning

The opposite of the Pictures.

The pictures and description of the property do not match the reality. There were stains on the sheets including small blood stains, the pillows were so old and dirty I would have thrown them out, holes in the wall, the thing the TV was on was falling apart, the sink and bath tub had been spackled or painted over multiple times to hide damage, the toilet paper roll was sitting in a hole in the wall instead of on a holder, the pool was empty... when we decided not to stay, i tried to quietly leave and just let them know i wasn't comfortable so we weren't staying. I wasn't asking for a refund of that day or anything. The owner (?) Came from the back office and said that I get what I pay for, he stopped short of calling me a liar (I took pictures), and spent 10 minutes trying to tell me that our room was ones of the best ones, that he wanted me to go back to the room to show him what I was referring to, and that I wouldn't be able to find anywhere else in town to stay (it was bootcamp graduation). We got home and not only were we charged for that day/ night, but we were charged over $400 (two rooms for 3 nights). This placed is gross, the staff can't accept criticism even though they know how bad their rooms are, and they tried to steal from me.

No breakfast choices. The two options were cereal and waffle mixture that didn't cook right. Almost everyone was throwing the waffles in the garbage. Absolutely horrifying experience!

Gross, stauned badly sheets and pillow cases, brought new pillow cases out of the pkg, brought mew sheets still slightly stained, eve. After a switched room, said clean, obvious no sweep or mop, mildew in the shower especially aling the bottom of the shower curtain, bot enough towels and wash clothes or soap and shampoo for 3 quests had to ask for more gave them to us but reluctantly, male at desk not helpful at all the lady was wonderful, my daughter lost a ring so we pulled everything out before we left after we were packed up nasty under everything including under microwave beds bureaus tgey need a new real cleaning staff. Some little brown bug in room luckily only saw. Stayed 3 days for my sons boot camp graduation, to late to book elsewhere especially being on the rd 24hrs. Or we would have gone elsewhere will not stay again would not recommend. And its a lie about pool access elsewhere they didnt even know its in there advertising that they are family friendly with access to indoor pool.also continental breakfast not.

I enjoyed my stay the staff was very friendly hostess I would recommend Staying here
