Good place, good price.

We came in off-season, everything was good overall. We can see that the place used to be in better shape in a past era, but the grounds are still lovely for this price. The fridge in the room was noisy, and bathroom ventilation is needed.

Derek

Liked: Staff & service
Staff was helpful when sundries, etc., were required. The Colonial is a little dated-looking and could obviously use a refreshing in many areas of the property, but the old-style, 60s-era family resort concept is actually a nice departure from the sealed up modern hotels we too often stay in. It was nice to sit in front of our room looking at the treed lot that surrounds the buildings and enjoy a beverage as evening fell. And the price was best in town for a room on the weekend we stayed.

The hotel is suitable for one night, but overall it feels outdated and in need of renovation. The breakfast was disappointing, offering only toast with butter or jam, cereal, yogurt, apples, cupcakes, and coffee or tea. On a positive note, the staff was very kind and welcoming, which was the best part of the stay.

Value for money is not good. Old run down place with musty smell in room. Way too expensive for the room we got. Only had small 2 pillows. Had to keep black-out curtains closed completely if we didn't want people seeing in our room. People smoking continuously beside our door let smoke smell in every time we opened the door. We did appreciate the fridge in room.

Disgusting

Horrible. Had to leave to stay at the Hilton because it was that bad… nothing like the photos. So misleading. Horrible service. There was absolutely no way I could’ve slept there or showered there. Pee stains on the bed, bandaid left on the lampshade, broken floorboard heaters, not easily accessible, have to walk by people’s porches just to get to your room, front desk person wasn’t there when we arrived and was rude, not helpful, and also was staring at my breasts while I tried to speak to him about the horrible accommodations. Don’t waste your time or money like I did.

The bed in the room was sway back and and on the floor. Light bulbs were out and the shower water was warm at best. Way overpriced at 200 dollars US. They need to put some $ in this place if they want charge those rates.
