The hotel was overpriced for the three night stay. My rooms door would not lock properly and was reported to the front desk on the first day. It was never repaired and caused a safety concern. The provided free breakfast had limited choices and what was offered was not fresh. The one coffee/cappuccino machine they had, broke the first day of our stay, and was still not working when we checked out. My wife and the couple staying with us refused to eat the eggs and sausage. We all felt breakfast was disappointing. We paid for a river front room, however, the window was so dirty it was difficult to see through, especially when the sun was coming up or going down because of the glare. We felt the staff was friendly; just assumed they were not being provided the resources to maintain the hotel making our stay not so great!

I stumbled upon City Mills Hotel in downtown Columbus, right along the river, and it was such a gem. Between the rich history and those peaceful scenic views, it was exactly what I needed to slow down and unwind after an empowering day with the girls. The room was clean, the staff was friendly and accommodating and the river view was an excellent choice.

The whole decor was modern with a great mixture of a rustic feel. The staff was very professional, courteous, attentive and very helpful. The gentleman at the desk was helpful in making sure my room had what I needed. The restaurant was awesome with their food, drinks and decor. I would definitely love to stay there again. The only negative was I wasn't able to get my room warm like I desire it.

We loved the hotel, the space, and the vibe. Shame we stayed only one night. It was spacious, immaculate, and we had the best sleep of pur trip. Although the hotel doesn't have dedicated parking (which was the only inconvenience), there is plenty of public parking. There is a coffee, a bar, and a game area in the 1st floor that we couldn't fully enjoy, but was very convenient and unique. Next time we are in Chattanooga, we will certain come back!
