This is our second trip to the Inn. Rooms are comfortable and Dave is very accommodating. The restaurant is a gem. Excellent entrees and hospital service.
I didn't stay in the Inn, but we heard it was really lovely. We had a lovely, romantic dinner at the restaurant. I met the owner's husband, a really nice guy! They accommodated us in the bar area (high-top table) when we needed a reservation and the place was packed. We will definitely be coming back the next time that we are in Columbia, PA. Tell 'em Kelly sent ya!
Very nice rooms. Great staff. Great food. The owner, bar staff, and restaurant staff work together like a well oiled machine. We had a nice stay. Was only going to stay one night, but stayed for two. Will be going back!
One of our favorite places to stay when we’re in the area the bar has amazing food. The staff is amazingly polite. I only wish they were open later, but that’s the way the world is now, but it is convenient if you’re staying upstairs to just leave the bar downstairs and go right upstairs at 10 o’clock. The rooms are fairly modern and updated most of the time. It’s quiet there sometimes the intersection can get busy on the weekend so depending on what room you staying and you can hear the traffic note. The shower stalls are a little on the smaller side, but still very nice and updated facility with a wonderful owner.
My partner and I stayed for one night after the Pennsylvania Renaissance Faire. I cannot speak more highly of our experience! Absolutely wonderful rooms, a beautiful common area. The muffins in the morning were incredible. The owner, Dave, is very responsive and nice. We also had a chance to eat at the pub, and it was equally excellent. Best bangers and mash I’ve ever had, and I’ve had quite a few! The bartender Carol is also great :)
We enjoyed our stay here. Such a cute place. Rooms were very clean. Great host. Would recommend staying here.
Awesome boutique hotel with beautiful rooms & en suites. The common area was perfect for our small (12) family reunion & offered drinks, yogurt, & fresh muffins daily. There is a historic charm with modern convenience. This was our 2nd year there and it did not disappoint. Highly recommend!
I ate at the bar. The food is always great! Homemade ice cream is off the hook too. 5 Stars on the food. Atmosphere is classy, cool wood work at the bar

Short, honest notes are more useful than long ones. A few sentences about what worked, what surprised you, and who the hotel is best for will go a long way.
