Located right on Aurora Avenue North, the Columbus Motor Inn offers clean, functional accommodations at a very reasonable price. The decor is decidedly retro 1980s, and some rooms even feature a sunken tub in a mirrored-tile enclosure. Guests have the option of one or two queen beds, and the television has many available cable channels.
When making a reservation, inquire about AAA, AARP, and military discounts. Though the property does not offer a restaurant, Aurora Avenue is home to a number of dining establishments, and the motel is just down the street from the Oak Tree Village Shopping Center.
