Marriott Columbus: Hotel in Historical Building
by nwlambear
My husband and I stayed here for several days when we were in Columbus, Georgia for our grandson's graduation from Fort Benning. The front desk staff was gracious and very helpful...they went out of their way to help us with anything we needed during out stay. We were right at home here! There were the usual hotel amentities, with the nice touch of both wired and wireless internet available. Bathroom was quite adequate and lovely. Bedding was great; pillows were plentiful and so very comfortable. My husband especially enjoyed being so close to the riverwalk as did I. Location was convenient to Fort Benning. The lobby, as I mentioned, was very impressive and beautiful and offered our family a comfortable location to visit...as did other families. Uniforms everywhere! It very busy with graduates and Army families.
The hotel is located in the restored historic district, opposite the old iron foundry which has been converted to a convention facility, and within an easy walk of the riverfront walking paths.
The lobby is spacious,clean and quite beautiful..it gives a good first impression. It had very tall ceiling with skylights
Our room was quite a nice surprise--very beautiful--looked more like a "bed and breakfast" actually. Our room was in the part of the hotel that had originally been part of the bakery. It was large, with high ceilings, original brick walls, the original tall, skinny windows...two big wing chairs, very comfortable bed, lovely desk with hookup for our laptop !! It was quite comfortable, light and airy even with the old brick walls.
