Let's be honest...how often to you get to stay in a period hotel in a restored gold mining town, at a reasonable price? We loved the quaint rooms, furniture and wallpaper. The staff were great and very responsive. Just let them know what time you plan to arrive so they can help you plan your arrival. If you are looking... More

We recently stayed overnight at the City Hotel in Columbia. It is truly a trip back in time! Be aware.. there is no telephone in room, no television in room, no one in service at night, and you must go down the hallway to shower. We were given a key to the main door of the hotel with special directions... More

Hotel is tired. It was clean. Bed was a full size and very uncomfortable. We won't stay there again. Our room opened to a balcony, however there was a very large step to get to the balcony. They provided robes and slippers.

Wow! My 8 year old son and I stayed in this beautiful historic hotel. The rooms were very clean and cozy. The decor was 1850's antiques and were amazing. My son was in awe! We had a wonderful meal at the delicious fine dining restaurant downstairs and the staff were all friendly and very knowlegable. We will definately be back!

It's an old school hotel but it takes you back in time, and that's really IMO what staying in old towns like this are all about. We arrived at night and recieved our room key from the bartender. This is... More

People around Columbia, CA were thrilled when the historic City Hotel opened again after a few years of standing empty. We used to love going there. That's why I took a friend from Nebraska for 2 nights just after Thanksgiving. Sadly, NOT a good idea. The new ownership/management takes off at 5, leaving no service until about 8 the next... More

The best part about the City Hotel is that it is right in the middle of Columbia State Historic Park, a living Ghost Town. The hotel has been very well renovated and has good sized rooms with a comfy bed. Best part was that the rooms had a small bathroom with toilet and sink...rare for a hotel of this age... More
