Summary: I was very impressed with the history of the building and decor. It was extremely clean, comfortable beds and the front office was exceptional. I was traveling from Chicago with my elderly mother who got lost and locked out and they were so kind and accommodating. I highly recommend the The Principal Hotel in Colombia, IL

Summary: Man man man. I was so glad to find this little hotel in this little town of Columbia Illinois. I was working in St Louis and I didn't want to stay anywhere close to where I was working. This was about a 30-minute drive and worth every mile. Told my wife I'll be bringing her back to this little quaint town and hotel. Good restaurants nearby too. I stay in hotels about 2 weeks a month in different cities throughout the world and this was one of the trendiest, cleanest, most comfortable places I stayed in recent memory.

Summary: Hotel was well kept, and very clean and comfortable. Columbia appears to be a very safe and quiet town. The only 'issue' we had was the one time I returned to find my room door blocked open by the dead bolt, and it appeared that no housekeeping persons were on the floor. I assume while supplying our room with fresh towels, they must have forgotten to reopen the dead bolt and let the door lock. Probably because of the hotels location, it appeared that we did not have anything missing. This could have turned out bad. The good thing is the room did have a combination lock box that I had taken advantage of with a valuable or two

Summary: One of the best hotel stays we've ever had! I loved all the unique schoolhouse themed items. From the moment we walked in it smelled very clean, the staff was friendly and helpful, and the bed was the most comfortable we've ever stayed in! The area around the hotel was nice and safe, I enjoyed walking on the walking/biking trail nearby. Highly recommend and will definitely stay again if in the area!

Summary: Checkin was effortless. Staff were always helpful. Parking was convenient. Room was extremely clean and bed was super comfortable. Hotel is an old Catholic School and it was beautifully re-architected into a hotel. Nice upscale restaurant (Graphite) connected to hotel.

Summary: The atmosphere of it being a renovated school was a lot of fun, and extremely well done. the room was plenty spacious, and extremely clean. All the staff we met were very friendly. This hotel is a must stay if you are passing through. Even if you are visiting St. Louis, it is worth the 15-20 minute drive to stay out of the city in the quaint little town.
