The Principal Hotel

They perfectly executed the school theme and it is a beautiful building.

Beautiful property. Very clean and friendly staff.

This property was outstanding! It was very clean and the staff were very friendly. You could tell they put a lot of effort into providing an incredible stay. From nice thick towels to offering free drink tickets the property was. Class act. We would highly recommend this hotel.

They did a great job of converting a school into a hotel.

The staff is always incredible! The location is convenient. You have a cute coffee shop next door and now a great restaurant! I always stay here when I'm in Columbia.

This s hotel is very neat, a modified school. Very well done, not a cheap rush job like many hotels that get updated.

The atmosphere was uplifting; the decor exuded uniqueness and joy; the grounds were impeccably clean and secure; the town embodied a refreshingly authentic American charm!

Very neat place

We were traveling through to visit family on our way to Nashville and wanted to check out a non-chain hotel. I am really impressed with the renovation of this old Catholic school and how they tied together the history into the concept of the hotel. Very clean, comfortable and accommodating. I was impressed with everything from check in to check out, the staff was friendly and helpful, and the price was great! We felt right at home. The beds were comfortable and the rooms well taken care of. I look forward to a return stay.

I can't say enough about this GEM! We travel multiple times a year across the US & will aleays add this new FAVORITE STOP & BEAUTIFUL TOWN of Columbia IL & THE PRINCIPAL HOTEL & surrounding establishments The GRAPHITE, THE ABBEY ETC ❤️❤️❤️❤️
