Provo is a very nice looking city of over 100,000. But be advised! You cannot get a taxi there at night! Though Provo is fairly good-sized, it's Amtrak station is nothing more than a platform with a shelter. Although the phone number to the local taxi service is posted, they don't answer their phone. I discovered this when connecting overnight between Amtrak and Greyhound. I ended up walking from the train to the Best Western at 11pm. Fortunately, it appeared to be in a safe neighborhood!

The B-W Columbian itself was fine. It looks a little seedy at night, what with the exterior passageways. But don't let that fool you. This place offers basic accommodations in clean rooms at an affordable rate. And as I was just making an overnight connection, that's all I needed!

We stayed here in the spring of 2004 and returned because it's such a great deal. Our suite had a microwave & refrigerator this time. The hotel now has a breakfast room next to lobby. Very helpful & courteous staff. Easy access to main roads & I-15.

The BW Columbian is a great little motel. From the outside it doesn't look like much, but inside it was great. My room was clean, spacious, and quiet, the bed was comfortable, and the decor was unique. The pool (outside) is open until 10 pm. The desk staff was friendly and helpful, and even offered me some pastries and fruit when I checked out before they had put out the free breakfast items. A really nice experience overall.

Wehad a great time. The best little hotel in Provo, Utah
Large room. Shower was the best I have ever had. Was close to BYU
Staff was great. Good luck in your business.
