"Last week I attended a wedding at “The Principal Hotel” in Columbia, Illinois. I would like to start with the owner and the hotel staff. The way they greeted us made us feel truly welcome. The venue was a converted Catholic Abbey and school. All facets of the wedding from the wedding party dinner, the wedding, the social hour, the catered banquet, and the DJ services went off without one glitch. The on-site restaurant was superb and catered delicious food. The hotel was as detailed as you would expect it to be from a long past era. I believe each large room had previously been a classroom. The main thing I noticed was the true quality of the carpentry done by masters that took exceptional pride in their work. Old class pictures, a trophy case, small chair desks, wall lockers, library books, even the old pull out bleacher facings. Quite a nostalgic trip into my memory. I loved every moment of it. I cannot express my appreciation of The Principal Hotel enough. All I can say is wow! Wow! WOW!"

"The room and common area was very clean and attractive. But breakfast was a big disapp ointment. Maybe they ran out of bacon or sausage but it wasn't refilled so all of this left and 8:30 was waffles cereal and scrambled eggs."
