"We loved our stay at the Columba Hotel! The staff was friendly & helpful. The room was clean & cozy. The bed & pillows were really comfortable .

"Wonderful location, right in the heart of town and yet the room was so quiet. We faced the street side, but could not hear any traffic or noise of any kind.

We did not end up having the breakfast, but our friend did, and she raved about it – especially the fresh fruit."
