Beautiful new hotel
Beautiful new hotel! The theme was fun, with the hotel being a converted Catholic school. Loved our stay!

Very Clean and Comfortable
The Principal is a very clean and quiet hotel. The staff was very friendly and helpful. Also the bed was very comfortable. If you need a place to stay in Columbia or Waterloo area i highly recommend The Principal you won’t be disappointed

Great hotel
The hotel is very nice and clean. It seems new, and was very quiet. The town is small and convenient to get to work in STL. A couple good restaurants nearby too. I would definitely stay again.

8/10 Very Good

Brand new property is beautiful and very chic. If not for the debacle during check-in, I’d give it a full 5 stars. Front desk girl fumbled through the incidentals retrieval on my credit card. Ran it multiple times to obtain what she called “putting it on fille”, but “not charging anything on it”. 90 minutes after I left, someone ran my card at an unrelated store next to the hotel for 180.00. When asked the next morning, the front desk said “oh I’m so sorry. I must have performed a pre-authorization there. It’s a learning experience for me and I’ll put that money back on your card”. I’d already disputed the charge with my account provider, and it dropped off in a couple days.

10/10 Exceptional

I was very impressed with this hotel, especially the nostalgic theme of the original property being a catholic school. They even had curtains made from the same plaid pattern of the school uniforms. Very unique and I will be back if it doesn’t get too pricey! Great vision someone had and excellent job repurposing things from the old school!
