If you change the way you look at things, the things you look at change.

Don't believe everything you think.

This is our second time to stay at the Ashley Inn. It's a nice place owned by a guy named Fred who lives next door with his wife and three kids. The inn has 10 rooms. They're not fancy; about what you'd expect in a resort town B&B. Breakfast was very good. I wouldn't hesitate to stay there again.

The Hobknob Inn across the street from the Ashley is probably a higher end and perhaps nicer place. But at some point I have to listen to my pocketbook...............I don't think you'd be disappointed with a stay at the Ashley.

For the past several years when in Columbia I've stayed at the Stoney Creek Inn on South Providence road. However, when I was there in July '09 I stayed at the Courtyard Marriott at Grindstone and Hwy 63 and had a fabulous experience. It's a great, new facility. Next time I'm in Columbia, that's where I'll stay!

I like Shakespeare's Pizza near campus for fun times and good pizza. Booches downtown is a good burger, though not much on atmosphere. Le Bourgeoisie Winery and Blufftop Bistro is a nice atmosphere out in Rocheport. Back in town, D'Rowes is a good place for good hearty fare.
