My philosophy is that if you find something great, you stick with it. Two things have been constant in my life: my husband and Hampton Inn North in Columbus, Georgia. There are undoubtedly nice hotels in Columbus, Ga., but we stick with the one we love: the one that has shown the most Southern hospitality. It is sparkling clean and the beds are very comfortable. We arrived before their daily famous chocolate chip cookies had been prepared. After we returned from dinner, receptionists Jennifer and Kelsey had put some aside just for us. Sometimes it's the small acts of kindness that matter most. The full complimentary breakfast was as sensational as ever with waffles, omelets, sausage, muffins, coffee, the list goes on. The aspect of the hotel we like best, though, is the friendliness of the staff. Ms. Brenda, who runs the dining room is adorable and is always available for guests. The receptionists were amicable and went above and beyond. They also spoke highly their manager, which is a good sign!

We arrived at the hotel after a long day of traveling. Our check in went very smoothly and they were able to accomodate our special room request. The lobby was very inviting with a beautiful Christmas tree set up, warm cookies and fresh apples for munching, and Christmas music playing. Our rooms were very welcoming. The bathrooms showed a little wear and tear but nothing too bad. The breakfast in the lobby was adequate but not exceptional. The food choices were limited and the quality of the food was adequate. The breakfast attendant was very responsive and replaced tepid coffee with a fresh carafe right away. We really enjoyed our stay and would stay again.

We do not have the occasion to use the Hampton Inn Columbus North but when we do come to Columbus it is our first choice. This Hampton Inn is very close to the Hughston Sports Medicine Clinic. It is a world-class facility for, among other things, knee replacement. I had both knees replaced in 2002. My wife and I have stayed at Hampton Inn Columbus North for pre-op appointments with my orthopedic surgeon and for follow-up checks since then. During the week I spent at the clinic my wife stayed at HI Columbus North for the enture week. Our experience at Hampton Inn Columbus North has been, uniformly, as the title of the review says comfortable, friendly and very well done in all respects.

My husband and I have stayed at this hotel many times during the last few years as we have family in the area. There are other Hampton's in Columbus and nearby, but this one is the best hands down. The staff are always friendly and accommodating, the entire hotel is immaculately clean. The free full breakfast is always wonderful, and I love having coffee available 24/7. The rooms are very comfortable, especially the beds. You will definitely get a good nights sleep on these luxurious mattresses. We have also stayed there through a couple of Christmas Holidays and the lobby is always beautifully decorated. When we are in Columbus, we feel like this Hampton Inn is our home-away-from home. We never even look anyplace else. Hampton Inn on Bear Lane is on my speed dial in my cell phone!
