What guests think

Reviews of The Columbia Inn at Peralynna describe a unique, quiet inn with spacious rooms and very comfortable beds, generally friendly staff, and a peaceful location near local venues, while noting dated areas, limited breakfast, and some maintenance shortcomings.

Many mention cleanliness and upkeep varying by room, citing stained carpets, mildew or odors, worn furnishings, and occasional pests alongside generally tidy spaces. A few guests experienced unprofessional interactions or unexpected early check-in fees. Noise travels in some rooms through thin walls or vents, and the building has no elevator, so stairs are required. Expect a characterful stay with comforts and quirks in equal measure.

Great inn to stay at while in Columbia. Very comfortable room that was lovely. The inn is large and would be a great place for a large group to all stay together for an event.

The Columbia Inn at Peralynna was a unique place- good bones and location but a bit run-down with small ants due to lots of rainfall. Can see how beautiful it was in the past.

Very comfortable and quiet stay. Staff very pleasant. Not for those who have mobility challenges - no elevator. The bagged breakfast was a kind gesture as there is no restaurant on the premises. Overall I would stay again as a solo traveler.

In the second floor rooms, sliding glass doors very near to the bed connects the room to shared balconies with other rooms. I stayed in the V-suite and had 2 doors connecting to 2 balconies closer to the bed than the bathroom door was. The staff was friendly though, and the bathroom and walk in closet alone made up for it.

The property is clean but weary. For example, the patio outside our room: chairs are broken, table is dirty (weather) floor is chipped. In addition: TV didn’t work and no one was able to fix it.

The room from distance was beautiful. Upon closer look you could tell the room needs some TLC. Was not enough hot water to fill the jacuzzi. We took a cold to barely warm soak in the jacuzzi tub. Room states it has 2 balconies. 1 was blocked off and the other was available but when walking on it, some places felt very weak like if you stepped in certain areas you may fall through. Bed was extremely squeaky, mattress was comfortable, but every move you make was like a high pitch blast to your head. Paint was peeling and looked to be covering up black mold. Only saw 2 staff members, they were friendly. Biggest complaint was no hot water and false advertising of the availability of balconies and their condition. 2 spiders coming out if the tub when you turning the water on and unsafe balconies. We could also hear everything from the room next door so didnt feel very private. Walking down / up the steps to the balconies felt very unsafe..

The facilities are best for events, but the furniture and accomodations are worn and limited. The coffee maker in our room had no hot cups nor regular coffee K-cups. Breakfast was a bag with make it yourself oatmeal and small muffins. All rooms access required climbing many steps carrying your luggage. No elevator.

Stains on the carpet, mildew in the shower, lack of plugs for charging. Hotel is quaint and has potential but room was very “80’s” in decor and downstairs smelled funny. Breakfast in a brown paper bag was a couple of granola bars, some instant oatmeal, a couple of mini pretzel bags and a couple of Welch’s fruit juice drinks (with high fructose corn syrup). Asked for a bucket of ice and got a half filled bucket with a big triangular chunk of congealed cubes melted together and refrozen. Bed was not super comfy- had a sore back in the morning. Would not stay there again.

The pictures do not in any way accurately describe this hotel. The ratings should be separated from the old owners to the new owners. The new owners would get a ZERO. The place is dirty, dingy, every piece of furniture was broken. It was just plain gross. Slept with one eye open, it was a little creepy.

Upon checking in, the hotel manager informed us that she would be only be at the hotel until 10pm. We quickly put our bags down and went out to our event. We came back to the room and went to bed. As I was turning back the covers on my bed, I noticed that the mattress was wrapped in plastic. I thought this was odd but went to bed, only to be awoke by my damp pillow which I realized that although it had a clean pillow case on it, was covering a pee drench pillow. Then I realized that both pillows were soaked with pee as well as the mattress that was "cleverly" wrapped in plastic. How anyone could intentionally do this to someone is beyond disgusting.

The place was a big old house that was reminiscent of The Adam’s Family home. Our room was suite “T” and was dated and dirty. Many large stains on the carpet, furniture worn and inadequate, mold in the shower, cracks and holes in the wall. No HVAC control in the room which was hot. An outside exit lead to a nasty sitting area in a stair well that had flaking paint and old worn furniture. The front desk person took us to a different room to begin with and then came back and said she made a mistake and we had to go to a room in the “basement” and our room was “no where near as nice as this one”, which we were shocked at hearing Just a terrible experience and we will never stay there again.

I stayed here a few years ago and it was lovely. They are under new ownership now and it wasn’t a good experience. I called to say I’d be arriving early, and some we were attending an event nearby, we’d have to drop our things off and leave right away. I was told that wouldn’t be a problem. Well when I arrived, I was charged $40 to check in at 3 PM instead of 4 PM. Despite what I was told on the phone. Additionally, there was a very strong food/spice smell in the lobby that was overwhelming, despite the fact that they don’t currently offer any food service. The room was musty, and the seeming sole source of heat was a space heater, placed directly on the carpet!

The overall stay was ok. I decided to take this stay just as a solo day from home life… however I felt the need to continue to confirm whether or not if I was planning to have a guest. The check in woman wanted to know a few too many details of the reason for my stay. She continued to personally show me the inside of the room with precision. It was very unusual to have check in to do this. A little overbearing-I suggest. Of the hotels that I have ever booked, I never experienced this and it came off as a little racially motivated. Nice room to some degree and wonderful location but I prefer not to return

The worst part was during the night, the fire alarm went off. I called the office to tell them and see what was going on. I was half-asleep since I was woken in the middle of the night. I must have asked the lady what to do, and she very rudely said, "I suggest you do like you did in high school and get your ass out!" So unprofessional. Then about 5 minutes after the fire alarm was set off, a lady barged into our room without knocking and said they were checking rooms. Again, very unprofessional.

The Columbia Inn at Perlyana was a really great place to stay! I was in town because my father was in the hospital and I needed someplace really close by and this establishment was less than 10 minutes away from Howard county General hospital. It was very conveniently located for food and shopping if needed and the staff was very pleasant, the rooms were very clean, the beds were super comfortable and also clean. It was a great place to get the downtime I needed while dealing with family trauma you know with my father being in the hospital anyway it was a really good place and I will definitely be back again.

This property is beautiful and quiet. Its located in a neighborhood across from a kids farm. My partner and I felt like we had the place to ourselves. Everything was clean. The room themed perfectly. We went in December so it was cold in the room and took some time to warm up. That is not a complaint because I could have gone to the desk to report it but I bring an electric blanket with me everywhere I go and my partner runs hot so we were fine. I definitely recommend this quiet home away from home.
