New World Inn & Conference Center

Went there for Mother's Day Special Buffet. After living in the area for many years back in the 80's and 90's this was the place to go for special occasions such as this day, you would be lucky to get in. Well its not the same any more that is for sure. we made reservations well in advance. We found the hostess to be very rude, the staff all but professional. Over priced for what you received no doubt.

This is an older motel. Overall not bad, but the website said there were microwaves in each room, not so due to electrical overload. The food at the buffet in the restaurant leaves a little to be desired, but with a convention there, they could not keep up with demand. We had problems with the room keys losing programming which made room entry difficult at times.

Recently acquired by Ramada. This place is a joke. They hiked their rates up for weekend of the Heartland pool tournament, and said it was because of the new breakfast they put in. Well let me tell you something, you could get a finer meal in jail. Powdered eggs, microwaved sausage that is pure grease, and a fun sized orange juice with a peel off top (like a yogurt container). This is seriously jail food, and they charged extra for it! The room was musty as hell with a strange chemical smell. I woke up with a runny nose that did not go away for two days. Each bed had three pillows and one bed did not have any sheets. Housekeeping knocked on the door at 8:30am and woke us up, and actually entered the room when we didn't answer. After telling them to get the hell out, they proceeded to run the vacuum in the hallways right outside the door for about 15 minutes. I will never stay here again! In fact I might avoid this pool tournament just because of this hotel.

I came out to Columbus for a funeral with my 85 year old mother in tow. She usually stays at the holiday Inn Express but they wanted almost double the rate AND the pool was broken. Well, this Ramada New World Inn and Conference Center was GREAT. Now only was it ALL NEW with the rooms freshly re-done but the PEOPLE who ran the place were THE BEST. The price was already very competitive when i mad the reservation. When they found out the reason for my visit they gave us a special rate without asking. Everyone down to the receptionists and the wait staff was helpful, friendly and kind. I have stayed at several other places in Columbus NE and will never stay anyplace else. First rate place with first rate people.
