Cockroach

I think this place is beautiful. It has amazing views. My only issue was I was working on my laptop when I was surprised my a huge cockroach. It was gross and scary. I was moved to a new room (the room below) and given a free drink voucher. The restaurant was delicious and the staff was super friendly. This place would have been prefect for that minus issue. Which for me it’s a big thing.

Phenomenal in every facet! From the moment we checked in until we left, absolutely amazing service and experience! The hotel was clean and located right on the riverwalk! Views were great. Breakfast was good and easy, nice patio to eat outside! The staff were great! Allowed us to lock up our bikes where they could be viewed and someone was at front desk 24/7. I felt safe leaving my bikes locked on truck BUT this made us feel even better!!! Can not say enough good things about this hotel. Our dog loved it too!!! If I ever go back to Columbus this will be where we stay!

This hotel is lovely! I am visiting Georgia to see my Fiancé on his Darby pass at Fort Benning. I was nervous about feeling safe so I booked this hotel based on great reviews. I checked in around 10pm and was so impressed with how safe I felt and how darn cute the hotel is! I loved my stay so much that I booked it for a second night although I planned to stay closer to ATL for my early morning flight. Getting up at 3am will be worth getting to stay here again. I cannot say enough great things. Clean room, clean bathroom, super comfy bed/pillows, perfect location, beautiful rooms, nespressos in the rooms, restaurant/bar, easy parking, and the list could go on! I definitely plan to stay here if I need in the future!

An Unexpected Happy Find

I happen to find you by accident. I love the history and how you updated the old Mill into a Hotel. It was close enough to the Columbus Convention Center I did not have but about 15 minutes to ride. The plus was it was not overly crowded , had a walking trail buy the river and a nice resturant so everything was there when I parked … comfy bed .. shower head was abit different :) but I travel allloootttt.. this was a nice find for the price and I got the basic room due to short stay.
