Stay Report - 9/19 - 9/20
Location: The hotel is located on US 280 just over the border from Columbus City, GA. This is one of those typical strip mall like roads found in every mid-sized town and city across America which means there are a number of gas stations, fast food restaurants and other motels around but the area is safe. The location is also a nice alternative to the hotels in Columbus many of which are aging badly.
Hotel: A new construction HIX in really good shape. The parking lot could be a little bit bigger but the lobby is very nice and very large. It has a two computer business center as well as an outdoor pool but there is no snack shop though the front desk told me they were expecting one soon.
Check In: A friendly agent helped me and thanked me for being Spire (Welcome Amenity points had already been posted before I arrived) and when I mentioned I was disappointed they didn't have a snack shop she got me a bottle of water
Room: Very nice with a large king sized bed, big TV, desk area, arm chair and a really nice bathroom. I really enjoy staying at these newer style HIXs when I can and I think the rooms are better than the average Courtyard or Hampton.
Breakfast: Scrambled eggs, pork and turkey sausage, cheese omelets and egg white omelets were featured along with the pancake machine and cinnamon rolls plus cereal, fruit and yogurt.
I've had a couple of disappointing stays at other hotels in Columbus so I think I'll come back here instead.
