What a wonderful place! From our wonderful experience at check in, to the amazing sleep we had. This place is great! We stayed in the king fireplace room and it was very nice. Extremely comfortable bed and pillows, super clean and updated room and even a massage chair! The AC and ceiling fan kept us nice and cool all night. Very quiet area…we didn’t hear any noise from neighboring rooms or the street. We will definitely be back! Top notch!

Clean rooms Great service

We had a wonderful Stay at the Columbine Inn. This was the second time staying here. The service was great; the room was updated and clean. My only complaint was the mattress was a little uncomfortable (my husband said it wasn't that bad though) and I wish there was a full-length mirror, we went to a fancy dinner for our anniversary, and I wanted to make sure I looked nice but there was only the bathroom mirror above the sink.

The recent remodel of the property is awesome! The room was very clean and cozy. The staff was so friendly. I liked that it was away from the downtown area, making it very quiet. They did an excellent job of remodeling this place!!
