We loved this place! It was in a great location where it is quiet, it’s steps from the beach, and the pool was great! Colonial Shores is basic, but nice and clean. There is nothing fancy about this hotel but, that’s how we like it! We walked in and were shocked at what we got for the price we paid. It was a little outdated but it was clean and we had everything we needed. We were also able to drive to anything we wanted within 10-15 minutes. We will definitely be back to Colonial Shores!!!

Very nice “mom and pop” place. The maintenance man was super nice. Place was clean. Definitely needs some updating, but no fault to him. He was working everytime we seen him. OWNER needs to update. We would stay here again.

Not bad
This was advertised as a no-frills motel. Although dated, it actually had a small refrigerator, a microwave and and a cabinet with a sink. Again, the decor was dated but the room was clean and comfortable. The motel doesn't offer in room cleaning but it wasnt a problem for us. You take your dirty towels to the office and get clean ones. We were there for a motorcycle rally so we spent very little time in the room but we enjoyed our stay and would stay again. As long as you aren't expecting the Taj Mahal and realize that what you're getting is basic, you should be fine. Again, it was clean and no bugs so it worked fine for us.

Clean! Comfortable! Convenient!
An older "vintage" motel with pool, located across the street from beach. Safe. Quiet. Very clean! Comfortable mattress, fluffy soft towels. AC = window unit and is loud! Didn't bother us much but could be issue for others. Kitchen = microwave, coffeemaker, toaster, motel-sized fridge BUT only had 4 spoons and 4 coffee mugs so bring your own kitchenware. Would like to see more outdoor furniture: for each room & around the pool patio. Have stayed twice - would stay again, would recommend.
