You'll know if it's for you.

  • You're in town for a few nights and done with beige highway hotels.
  • You're on a 13-week assignment and want somewhere that feels like more than a room.
  • You're relocating, and need a real place to land while you find a home.
  • You're between homes, with a closing date that keeps moving.
  • You're running a crew on a job and need a few suites near the work.
  • You just want a kitchen, fast Wi-Fi, and someone who actually answers.

Nodded at a couple of these? That's exactly who we built this for.

By the time you arrive, it's already taken care of.

No front desk, no waiting, no scramble for a key. Here's how an arrival actually goes.

  1. Before you leave

    Your door code lands by text, nothing to pick up, no front desk to beat before it closes.

  2. Pull in

    Park in the lot, no meter, no permit, free at both buildings.

  3. Let yourself in

    Tap the code and you're in. 24/7, whatever time the drive actually ends.

  4. Settle

    A real kitchen, fast Wi-Fi, a proper bed. Unpack once and live.

  5. Anything at all

    Text a real person who's been on this corner since 1890. Someone answers.

An example arrival, your details, handled the same way.

The suites

Made to be lived in.

Real homes with full kitchens, restored light, and character you won't find in a hotel room, each suite named for the room it is.

Our heritage

Two corners. One Cottage Street.

Both buildings have stood on Cottage Street for over a century, the Hotel Neville (1890) and the Columbus Hotel (1910), separately known, now restored as one.

Mervin E. Pindar opened the Hotel Neville in 1890 for the railroad trade, rooms for commercial men and railroad crews near the Wickham Avenue depot. It later became the Hotel Lee.

"Rates for commercial men, $1.50 per day. Special rates for railroad men, near the Wickham Ave. depot."

Francesco "Frank" Palo · Cottage & School Streets

Francesco "Frank" Palo built the Columbus Hotel in 1910, "remodelled with everything new, meals at all hours, European or American plan." It later became the Diana Hotel; we have restored its first name.

"Remodelled with everything new, meals served at all hours. European or American plan. Private hall to let for dancing, dinners and weddings."

Good to know

Do the suites have kitchens?

Most suites have a full kitchenette, stainless appliances, a convection cooktop, full-size refrigerator, microwave, coffeemaker, and cookware. A couple of the smaller studios are more hotel-style without a full kitchen; the room details note which is which.

Is there parking?

Yes, free private parking on a first-come, first-served basis. At 52 Cottage it's the lot directly across the street; at 89 Cottage it's the lot behind the building. One standard-size vehicle per reservation.

Are weekly or monthly stays available?

Yes. The suites work well for longer stays, work assignments, medical or school-related visits, and relocations, and longer-stay discounts may be available. Ask about extended terms before booking.

Is it noisy?

These are real downtown buildings, so expect normal city activity, some hallway movement, and guests coming and going, convenient and urban rather than secluded.

Is there an elevator?

No. Both buildings are walk-ups with stairs. If that's a concern, message us before booking and we'll help you find the best-fit suite.
