The building was new and the room was extremely clean. Check in/out staff was very friendly. This hotel was also in a very good area that you can walk around and go to shops, seafood markets, restaurants, etc. there are a few walking paths in the back near the river, very nice views, and dog friendly!

Always love staying at the Colony Hotel. This was our first time staying in the winter in the relatively new rooms, across from the main building. Our room was very clean and the staff personable. It was nice to have a large screen tv. The close proximity to Dock Square where many of the Prelude activities were taking place was great too! We just missed the great food we always enjoy, as the restaurant is closed for the winter.

Staff was very nice and appreciated the coffee machine in the rooms. I did find a few things from other guests in the room, like a baby pacifier and sock under the bed so I'm not sure staff cleans 100% everywhere. Still a nice stay

Booking from the uk quite a while ago, we didn't relise the main hotel was closed , this was supposed to be the perfect end to our trip around new England, instead although the room was nice , the WiFi was awful, not staying on for more than 5 minutes at a time. There was no-one around to complain to Not only was everything closed in the hotel, we weren't even allowed to have a look around or spend any time outside admiring the views All in all very disappointed with our stay, even trying to checkout the people in the Market didn't know how
