Americas Best Value Inn

Stayed at this place for a couple of nights. I was somewhat hesitant to book based on reviews, but it turned out to be just fine. The young man working the front desk was very friendly and helpful. I needed an iron and ironing board to get clothes ready for a funeral but they had none on property. He secured them from somewhere else and had them delivered - great customer service! Room was clean, great tv channel selection. Good wifi; beds comfortable; larger than usual mini-fridge, microwave. There was no in-room coffee maker or hair dryer, though. This place has both smoking and non-smoking rooms, so be careful which type you book online. The only downside was the breakfast was pretty much non-existent. Both days there was one dry muffin, a few slices of white bread, and dry cereal - that's it. Fortunately there are plenty of breakfast options nearby at restaurants and fast food chains. A lot of hotels in this price range put big blocks on your credit card for 'security deposit' and garbage like that, but not this place. Only room charges were charged. If you're looking for a decent stay in Columbus at a bargain value price, Econo Inn fits the bill.
