History

Opened as hotels in 1890 and 1910

The Hotel Neville opened at Cottage and Prince Streets in 1890, and the Columbus Hotel at Cottage and School Streets in 1910. Both were restored together, and today they trade as The Columbus Suites and The Columbus Hotel.

Good to know

Do the suites have kitchens?

Every room has a kitchenette: a stove, a microwave, a full-size refrigerator, and cookware. Some rooms also have an oven, but we do not promise one until we have checked yours, so plan for the cooktop.

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. Up to four weeks can be booked online in one sitting; for anything longer, talk to us first.

Is it noisy?

They are downtown buildings shared with other guests, so expect some street noise, footsteps in the hallways, and guests coming and going. Quiet hours run from 8 PM to 8 AM.

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.
