It was absolutely perfect. My daughter and granddaughter were here for my niece’s graduation from Ft Benning.
We were in awe as to how beautiful and clean everything was. Everything was top notch. You’d never believe this was a 1900s structure.
The front desk was very helpful. Helped us find restaurants etc. check in and out was a breeze.
The place was very secure. Even the elevator.
The restaurant was very nice. Great choice of drinks and food.
We highly recommend

We very much enjoyed our stay here. We started with 2 nights in a standard room & ended up moving to a king suite with a river view. Both rooms were well decorated & comfortable. My only issue was the carpets. They were so dirty a pair of white socks were filthy just from getting ready in the morning & I barely walked on the carpet. They should remove all the carpet & go with a nice lvp. Other than that it was very nice. Good breakfast. Would stay again without hesitation.

Hotel was super cute and right on the Chattahoochee River. What a beautiful view! Loved the atmosphere of the hotel and there was free parking (in their own parking lot -- not far, convenient, safe, no trouble finding a spot).
Breakfast included bottled orange juice and apple juice and the coffee machine was wonderful -- like a little gourmet make your own. Grits, croissants, eggs, sausage, biscuits and gravy. There was also fruit in a cup, Lucky Charms, and Chobani yogurt.
The rooms are spacious and new and the showers are great (full pressure from the gorgeous showerhead fixture and a handheld)!
Only con is no pool. But, put it this way: my 9 year old son liked the hotel so much he DIDN'T MIND!! (He loves pools and looks forward to them at hotels because we don't have one.)
Highly recommend and WILL RETURN!

The City Mills Hotel is a very nice clean historical old textile mill in Columbus, Georgia that was converted into a beautiful boutique hotel. It is unique due to its history and some old equipment there worked in to be part of the hotel. Staff are very nice, helpful, and informative. The food in their restaurant for dinner and breakfast was delicious and cooked fresh. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and hope to go back some time. I recommend to everyone to stay there when in the area!

This was my 4th stay at City Mills, in Columbus. It is a v very unique property, historic and situated right on the Chattahoochee River. The riverwalk cuts right through the property making it so easy to get out for a morning or evening walk. The on-site restaurant is so delicious....the servers, the food and drinks are wonderful. The arrival staff are so friendly, they make sure they have answered your questions and will even escort you to the elevator. The breakfast is delicious, juices and coffee, pastries and hot cereals. eggs and meats. Very nice. Downtown is close by for other dining options. Great hotel, and it is my go to for Columbus!

When I arrived at 3:30 p.m., the staff informed me they could not check me in until 4:00 p.m. I came back at 4:15 p.m. and was informed that their cleaning staff had not made up any of the rooms and that there was no room available. They also told me that they could not give me a firm time for the room to be available. Since I had another appointment within an hour, I told them that I could not wait.

To their credit, they offered to refund the money I had prepaid through Hotels.com, and wrote me a letter confirming that they would do so. They also connected me with another hotel that still had rooms available at a higher price and without the king bed for which I had paid. Several other guests also had the same problem while I was standing there.

I would not reserve a room at this hotel again. While the building looked appealing, the fact that they lacked reliable cleaning services and had not been able to make any rooms available in the late afternoon was and is not acceptable.

We arrived an hour after check in and were told that there was a \"housekeeping crisis\" and our room was not ready. The first person we spoke with was very curt and unapologetic. She could not offer us a timeline of when our room would be ready, but gave the name of neighboring hotel to check with. The second woman to come to the front desk obviously felt terrible about the situation and offered to give us a free upgrade in the event we booked a room there in the future.

It's a very nice boutique hotel. My only criticism is that the rooms are very small. Partly confined by the previous design of the building as a flour Mill.

Our room was a king bed and there was a desk chair and a desk at the foot of the bed but that was the only place to sit. And when someone's sitting in that chair you can't walk around the bed.

There's a very large entry vestibule into the room that seem to be totally wasted space.

The end room wall mounted air conditioning unit was up high above the bed blows directly on you all night. I like to be cold when I sleep so it was fine for me but not so fine for my wife.

Nice free coffee and espresso service in the morning.

Overall very well maintained and clean and off the beaten path from downtown Columbus.

Given the crampiness of the room I'm honestly not sure I would stay here again but you should at least give it a try.

Free parking too.

The first room we were assigned smelled like a middle school locker room . It was clear the carpets were not clean . The front desk had to move us to another room . Then, that evening , we were greeted by a 3 inch roach crawling across the bed.
On the morning , we mentioned our evening to the general manager who jokingly said “ it was a normal occurrence in Georgia this time of year .”
The breakfast was next . There were no pastries of any kind at 9am and the food on the hot bar was cold . When asked to replace or if there were more options . It was a no . We were left with cereal and yogurt .
I have no idea why the eating for this hotel are so high !

This hotel is always somewhere I stay when I travel to Columbus, GA. I was a bit surprised and upset at how I waited for over an hour after I arrived to only end up in a Completely dirty room. Potato chips on the floor and the sheets were obviously slept on and whatever else that happened in the room. But thanks to Ms. Stefanye for going above and beyond to get me into a clean room . She is the reason why I will return. The housekeeper who didn’t clean my room left her name on the note pad, and I have to say that , although your job may be a little overwhelming at times, you literally didn’t try to make my room look as if you had made some attempt to clean it. And I was a bit irritated that when given a VIP drink voucher, it limited what kind of drink I could actually have. So, please take VIP off of the vouchers if you’re going to tell people what they can and can’t have. Thankfully, my sister and our friends didn’t have a bad experience during their first time at the hotel. I hope that the next time I visit, things will be a lot better.

Loved that they provided a great dog bed and pet bowl during our stay. The pet bed and bowl made our dog so happy. They really provided alot of thoughtful touches like mouthwash, qtips, cotton balls, hand sanitizer, and make up wipes. They also have the best complimentary breakfast. We really enjoyed having a free complete breakfast in the morning before we headed out. We liked our stay here because we felt taken care of and we were enveloped in comfort. The beds and pillows are plush. We also really liked the restaurant. The prime rib spring rolls were delicious. The property is well maintained and the restoration of the old mill highlighted the historical charm. We will be back!

We stayed here to attend a family funeral and found the service did not match the price point. I spent more on a “higher end” hotel hoping it would make an already sad trip a bit easier to grapple with.

When we checked in at 8 PM, we asked about dinner. We were told there is no room service and told to look online at the menu, which was not helpful, so my son went down to order in person. In the room, the TV did not work. The staff member who came up could not fix it, so we had to switch rooms. When I called down to check on the room details, the employee seemed frustrated with my questions.

The next day, our room keys did not work after being out with family. At the desk, I was told we needed to check out of the first reservation and check into the new one, which was not explained to us the night before. The agent had trouble processing this, making us wait for keys to get back into the same exact room.

The next morning we had time for the free breakfast but it was poor quality and not edible. Finally, at 10:00 AM, an hour before checkout time, a staff member knocked loudly on the door to do a room inspection while I was getting ready with an hour left before regular check out.

An accumulation of small issues and poor communication made this a frustrating experience for the price we paid and added to an already difficult time for us.

We enjoyed our stay - everybody was friendly and it was easy to check in, get around, and the front porch was lovely to sit in as the evening got cooler. I was a disappointed that I had paid extra for a river view room and the view definitely didn't live up to my expectations - you could see the river kitty corner out the window, but in reality our view was of another building, requiring us to keep our blinds down for privacy. I would definitely stay here again, but would have to decide to splurge a lot for a corner room in the hope of having a direct view, or not pay the extra.
