Cold and manky
Lovely lady on reception. Room was cold - a 0 degree night and the window was open a bit! Radiator on low struggled to heat room, spent the evening with a hat on. Heating obviously went off in the night as was stone cold in morning. Didn’t want to move. Jacket and hat whilst doing morning emails. Also blood (possibly clean but stained) on duvet. Hairs on wall in bathroom. Basic place, not worth the money or bother

Clean & Friendly ( again ). Great spot.
Second visit - friendly, clean & welcoming with a carpark for a big van. Bar was open for a beer after a long day. It's all a weary traveller needs. Nice family run operation.

Awful experience
Staff seemed friendly and nice upon arrival that was the only good thing about the stay We had mould on the walls above the bed some sort of substance on the walls bathroom was not clean and neither was the drawers. Tried to explain to the lady who was cleaning rooms and she just gestured go away would not recommend to anyone. More like a hostel than hotel.

A satisfactory visit
We were keeping an appointment and visiting friends and family. The Columbia was in a good position for this. It was exceptionally clean. The bathroom seemed to have been recently updated. The towels and bedlinen were really good. There was one chair at the desk/dressing table which was worn but adequate. The people running it were very helpful, providing extra milk when requested. We went out for long lunches but spent a lot of time in the room and had a pleasant stay.

Unsecure, tired, and dusty
Choice was limited due to CoVid restrictions, bed was uncomfortable, could feel a couple of broken springs, and pillows lumpy. Rooms not cleaned or beds made in week, and could write in the dust on surfaces. And on 2nd day thought lock on case had been tampered with, so relocked and left lockon a number, which was changed whilst out on 3rd day and discovered on return, so not happy. Won't be returning. Nice shower though.

Dear Sir, Thank you very much for taking the time to do the review. I appreciate. All of our bed is fairly new not even a year old. I am not sure why you did not mention this while you were at the hotel. We could have change your room. I am glad at least you have enjoyed the shower.

Hospitable and friendly staff
Easy to check in, was given a different room as I find the road noisy, no problems in changing. Lovely breakfast in the morning. Sadly the rooms aren’t soundproof so I was woken several times in the night by noisy neighbours / people outside. Overall good for the money though.
