What guests think
At SureStay Hotel by Best Western Columbus Downtown, reviews describe an older, budget-friendly motel with friendly staff and a walkable location near downtown, but with uneven room maintenance, mixed cleanliness, and a very basic, often limited continental breakfast.
Beds are often comfortable, but several guests reported broken fixtures, weak or failing air conditioning, doors that don’t seal, and small rooms. The location is a strong point for access to the Riverwalk and restaurants, though a few guests noted safety concerns and noise from neighbors or traffic. Service is frequently described as friendly, but housekeeping and responsiveness can be inconsistent, and some disliked early checkout pressure and a required deposit. Expect a simple, no-frills stay close to downtown at a low price.

I always book non smoking as I'm not a smoker. Upon opening the door to the room the overpowering smell of smoke and mold filled my nose. Rooms are dated but the bed is comfortable. Be prepared to pay a $60 additional deposit to the property until you check out and they verify the room is in order. This is charged separately from the room fee. Also they are pet friendly however there is a $25 per night pet fee. Ohhhh did I mention check out is at 11am, but be prepared for them to start knocking on the door about 9am sharp. They even called the room at 910am to verify is leaving.

Although this is an older building and property, it is very well maintained and clean. The only negative comment I have is that the web-site says it has a swimming pool. It does NOT.

There were roaches in the hotel rooms, the parking was so cramped it was hard to get in and out of our space, the staff didn’t speak fluent English in some cases, and the continental breakfast was really just the pancake machine and boiled eggs.

Decent stay waking distance to the heart of downtown Columbus. Rooms are small but clean, have a mini fridge, microwave, hairdryer. They also have an onsite laundry machine for guest that cost $4 to wash and dry. Would have like to have had a smart tv so you could watch Netflix or Amazon on the tv. I did not try the breakfast but was told they didn’t have coffee. They were friendly and changed the towels in the room daily which was nice.

COCKROACHES On our return trip (7/25), we encountered a cockroach in the bathroom. We were moved from room 117 to room 105. When we woke up the next morning, there was a cockroach on the floor of that room. We expect both the room deposit and the room fee refunded to us immediately. Today is Monday, July 28, and if this is not done by the end of business today, I am going on Yelp, and I am going to the Better Business Bureau.

Our room was clean and the staff was friendly. No bugs of any kind. The only complaint is that the room was small. This is a great location, less than a ten minute walk from downtown, but just far enough that weekend noise didn't bother us at all.

I booked this hotel for a one night stay. This property was horrible. When we checked in from when we left. Phone in room didnt work, so we had to call from our cell to ask for towels, there was 1 in the room at check in, 1 towel for 2 people. We had to call, again from cell, to ask for toilet paper, which was NEVER brought to us! We were told they were sold out with a total of 5 cars including ours in parking lot. Room was nasty, fridge/freezer leaked all of the floor, the drain cover in tub was missing, left over food in fridge, could clearly tell the room was not cleaned properly. WILL NOT ever stay at this property again!!! I have pics to back up anything I said if anyone would like to see them!

The place was clean, quiet and cozy. It was an older building (1980’s maybe) but was freshly tiled and painted. Everything worked. No bugs. AC was typical with fan running constantly until I set it to Auto, then it cycled between noticeable and off. The staff were friendly and knowledgeable. The one thing wrong was the first night the hot water didn’t work. They had a plumbing emergency in another room, and got it repaired by the morning. It was near food and local sites I wanted to visit, in the heart of downtown. The pancakes were tiny but tasty. The rest of continental breakfast was minimal with apples, bananas and oranges.

This is NOT a hotel. It is a MOTEL! We had issues with our keys every time we tried to get into our rooms. The bedding smelled like other people, the bath mat had dark shoe prints on it, I killed a coach roach the moment I first walked in the door, the breakfast area was a joke, and the sound from the cars and TRAIN made it difficult to sleep.

The breakfast is nearly non-existent. The shower was in poor shape. The curtain rod was broken and the curtain they had did not fit the shower. Because of this, water floods the bathroom and into the main room. The floor just outside the bathroom is warped and water damaged from previous guests doing the same thing. The room was extremely hot when we arrived. The staff did not turn on the air conditioner prior to our arrival. There were only two easily accessible outlets in the room. They were on the opposite side of the room from the desk. We did not receive room service during day 2. I had to go to the front desk after 7pm to ask for toilet paper and towels.

They just need to check appliances before booking etc.

I was coming in early from a long trip and called this place for a possible early check-in. The front desk was very helpful and said I could check in for a small fee. The process was smooth and it was a great last minute stay. The bathroom is a little run down and the shower pressure was nonexistent, but you get what you pay for! The room was clean, the AC worked, and the location was convenient. Breakfast items consisted of boiled eggs, toast, pancakes, muffins, cereal and yogurt. Thank you for your help and kindness, would stay here again.

Camille was not ready for work today and just unprofessional. Needed a late check out and asked to speak to house keeping because we checked in after 2am with a child with special needs. And when I asked for late check out when we checked in a John man said it would be no problem yet was rudely given ten minutes in the morning. And when asked for upper management was told "he probably sleep\'s unprofessional. Not worth the money also room was filthy had to do my own cleaning so ultimately didn\'t rest until after 4am to just be treated completely unfairly. Best western should be ashamed to have them apart of their line. Never have I ever been given a ten minute late check out that\'s ridiculous and absurd. Never again

This hotel was great for the price, my fiance was graduating boot camp it was close to Fort Moore. The riverwalk was close enough if the weather had been better we could've walked there. The staff was nice and friendly, housekeeping kept us with clean towels and sheets everyday. They did have a small breakfast available, consisting of boiled eggs, pancakes, frozen sausage biscuits, cereal and yogurts. I'll be back in May. Thank you for the great service

Our room was clean and the staff was friendly. No bugs of any kind. The only complaint is that the room was small. This is a great location, less than a ten minute walk from downtown, but just far enough that weekend noise didn't bother us at all.

The hotel was ok. I guess it used to be another hotel. There is room for improvement. But The riverwalk, downtown are is within walking distance.

I was coming in early from a long trip and called this place for a possible early check-in. The front desk was very helpful and said I could check in for a small fee. The process was smooth and it was a great last minute stay. The bathroom is a little run down and the shower pressure was nonexistent, but you get what you pay for! The room was clean, the AC worked, and the location was convenient. Breakfast items consisted of boiled eggs, toast, pancakes, muffins, cereal and yogurt. Thank you for your help and kindness, would stay here again.

There were roaches in the hotel rooms, the parking was so cramped it was hard to get in and out of our space, the staff didn’t speak fluent English in some cases, and the continental breakfast was really just the pancake machine and boiled eggs.

This is not your typical best western hotel. This is a motel. While the rooms were better than I’d expected from looking at the place, you can’t cover shabbiness with a coat of pea soup paint. The “continental breakfast” (available between 6am-9am) consisted of apples, oranges, juice, cold cereal, bread, yogurt, and a pancake maker that didn’t work. And you can’t forget about the microwaveable “old folks” breakfast sausage sandwiches that were rubbery and tasteless, something I’m sure even the old folks in a home wouldn’t enjoy. The “dining area” did have a Folgers machine that worked but the gentleman at the desk did seem concerned when I went in there to get coffee in the afternoon/evening. Overall, would never stay again!

The beds were comfortable. Three adults yet there was only two towels in the bathroom. Bathroom was NOT clean ( especially the toilet!) A bit run down but painted. Man running the office was nice and polite. Breakfast was lame so we found a restaurant.

We thought we were staying in a hotel as the name suggests. As we pulled into the complex it became apparent that it was a motel not a hotel. Our sleep was horrible, the walls were that thin we were woken up at 2am by the occupant’s in the next week with the TV blasting as they were getting jiggy with it. When we went down for breakfast at around 8:55am, we had a look around and my son decided on pancakes, the machine had said it was out of the mixture so I spoke to the person on duty and he told me breakfast finished at 9am which is why it wasn’t available. I looked at my watch and it just clicked over to 9am. It was really disappointing we weren’t informed of the breakfast times as most “hotels” run breakfast slightly later on a Saturday. If I knew this was the case, I wouldn’t have packed the car first. Definitely do not recommend this motel masquerading as a hotel.

The breakfast is nearly non-existent. The shower was in poor shape. The curtain rod was broken and the curtain they had did not fit the shower. Because of this, water floods the bathroom and into the main room. The floor just outside the bathroom is warped and water damaged from previous guests doing the same thing. The room was extremely hot when we arrived. The staff did not turn on the air conditioner prior to our arrival. There were only two easily accessible outlets in the room. They were on the opposite side of the room from the desk. We did not receive room service during day 2. I had to go to the front desk after 7pm to ask for toilet paper and towels.

The floors where not clean. Tub did not drain, so there was always standing water in the tub. There was a dirty sock stuck on the wall where the firm is. The room was like a cave , and the toilet was not secure to the floor. The rooms should be painted light color. I understand the the place is old but, you could try to keep it up. Like in NYC we have old buildings and the insides are beautiful.
