What guests think

Across recent reviews, Holiday Inn Express & Suites Columbus - Ft Benning Maingate by IHG earns praise for friendly staff, generally clean, comfortable rooms, and a very convenient location for Fort Moore and the National Infantry Museum.

Many guests also appreciate the ample breakfast and comfortable beds. Recurring downsides include loud or faulty HVAC, occasional elevator and pool issues, and inconsistent housekeeping or maintenance, plus a few concerns about the surrounding area and panhandling at night. Expect a convenient, service-focused stay near the base with some variability in upkeep.

Hotel was good but put me in a room that adjoined the elevator shaft. The elevator popped and cracked any time it moved which was loud in the room. I was concerned about the status of the elevator as well as the noise in the room and spoke to the front desk about it.

I had a very nice stay! Location is very close to Ft Benning (Moore). Staff were very friendly. Breakfast was really good… Only thing I wish they had, security in their entrance /parking at night. I had a man come up to me the first night and a woman the second night asking for money. They were not hateful but scared me. I was traveling by myself. Grandson graduated from Airborne!!! I would stay there again.

My stay at this location was mediocre. There was some sticky substance on the night stand. They didn't have any towels clean to supply to guest. Breakfast wasn't much to talk about with minimal options and cold food that should be warm/hot depending on the item.

the staff at the front was amazing but the place itself was gross. The towels in my room were stained, bugs coming out of the shower and there was already hair all over the shower walls and sink as if it hadn’t been cleaned. For breakfast they had a juice dispenser and you could tell the dispenser was never cleaned or at least hasn’t been in a while. Wouldn’t recommend for even a quick stay.

A typical holiday inn Express, very friendly staff, despite the fact that they were totally unable to fix the malfunctioning HVAC. It was 40 degrees outside, but over 70 in the room. Attempts to cool off the room were in vain. Room changes were not helpful, which indicates that the entire system was either dysfunction, or they had it controlled and weren't going to accommodate. Still, better than most of the options which, from the outside, were clearly much worse.

Stayed here with my family to attend my cousin’s graduation. The hotel is in the perfect location and within close proximity to Ft Benning and restaurants. The property was clean just a little outdated. The Air Conditioner however was very noisy and didn’t cool the room properly. The USB in the room we stayed didn’t work at all which was very inconvenient.

We arrived very late , I was called to ask if we were coming. I told them we would be. They could not give us the room we requested and reserved , they were totally full. Which ok. They credited us 80 dollars. I did not throw a fit or stomp my feet it was after 2 am and we really only needed the extra living space when our brand new soldier would be visiting. We ended up checking out a day early. 10:30 am the day before. Now other hotels if this happens credit us the night we did not stay. I had tried to change my reservation before the cancelation date. I called the hotel they told me Expedia would have to do it. Expedia kept telling me that they did not have rooms to change it. Which was untrue. I had the room for 3 nights I needed now only 2 of them!!! There was no need to stay an extra night out reason to be there could not stay the extra night. I don’t see why if we left before check out and the hotel was soooo booked they could not refund the last night. But they have refused. Being ihg members I’m very unhappy with this decision !! Other hotel chains do this. Especially when you check out before the last day starts. They were totally booked. I’m sure they could fill the room. Not cool ihg. Not at all.

This motel is way overpriced, and the worst Holiday Inn Express that we have ever stayed in. Thought I paid for the room complexly on Expedia but upon checkout discovered I owed another $30.78 for more taxes! So I paid over $238.00 for one night. My husband got little sleep because the fan on the ac/heating unit would not shut off no matter what you did, and it was very loud. Complained but clerk did not know how to fix it. Took over 30 minutes to check out due to billing issue and my insistence on a receipt for the extra taxes I had to pay. They refused to give me a receipt for the taxes until I said I wasn’t leaving without one. We have stayed in nicer motels for half the cost.
