What guests think

At Colonial Inn, reviews describe a basic, older motel with friendly staff and a convenient location, but with mixed room and cleanliness experiences, ranging from comfortable, clean stays to dated spaces with maintenance problems and occasional mold or odors.

Common complaints cite worn decor, peeling wallpaper, small bathrooms, flimsy doors, and occasional broken amenities like microwaves, while several guests praise very comfortable beds. A few reviews mention delayed room readiness at check-in and concerns about a sketchy atmosphere. Budget travelers needing a simple stopover may be fine here; those wanting updated, polished lodging may be disappointed.

The property manager was very nice. It’s an older hotel but it was clean, had hot water, cold air, working furnace, working television, easy parking, comfortable bed, easy chair, a good price and it was all I needed. I have no complaints. But if you want something snazzy and new, then go elsewhere. But if you don’t, this is perfect.

Has been updated since last time we were there. Family in the area so just need beds. Last time was very dated, new fridge, microwave, furniture, bed spreads. Much fresher. A bit of peeling wallpaper in bathroom but everything was fine. No 5 star place but clean place to lay your head and only pet friendly place in town.

Very outdated & smelled. No table only 1 nightstand, lamp shades peeling, curtains looked as if they were to fall apart, many items rusty and a ceiling light used as a wall light. Fire alarm went off at 7:30 a.m. husband had to take it off the wall. Only stayed because other hotels booked. Could be a nice place if it was redone.

Lots mold in the bathrooms (have pictures) Beat up front storm door, no key for upper lock, but hand turn inside...no safe feeling. Miniature bar of soap, sink was brush painted. Thought about stop payment......would never stay there again. Would have gone some place else, but none available. Also this "place" was not full (i can see why) Really beyond description. Worst place i ever stayed in my life!

Very wore rooms. Rooms reminded you of the Bates Motel. No bed bugs or vermin. Thevrooms were as clean as they could be. Wallpaper was peeling very badly in the bathroom. Tub wass clean. Doors seemed flimsy but did have an extra lock on them. Microwave did not work. Refrigerator was good. Clerk was nice but it was hard to understand him, he had a very thick accent. All in all you get what you pay for. I would not stay here again.

Very old and needs way too much work to even be close to acceptable. Rusty painted barhroom sink, very used bedding inc pillows. No coffee pot. Towel covering air conditioner. Mold on barhroom ceiling.Toilet leak. One useful outlet. Screen door ripped. No coffee pot. We stayed because it was dark and we were very tired. My opinion, it should not even be open.

Check in time starts at 2, we showed up after 3pm and were told we couldnt check in because our room wasnt ready. Once we were able to go into our room the bed size wasnt as guarenteed, there was mold in the bathroom, shower didnt work, and all you could smell walking in was a bunch of cleaning chemicals. I would give a 0 star rating if i could 😒

Bed was in decent shape, Needs a bigger toilet not something for a kid, small toilets are out. Extend the shower curtain so it doesn't stick to someone while they shower! Put in a set of blinds, most people don't want it lighted up at night while they sleep. Clean the bathroom better, it smelled like urine, and hair everywhere!

The black mold in the wall ac unit first gave me pause. Then the fact that the sink drained slower than my 89 year old grandpas bladder. The shower had ok pressure. But everything about this place gave me huge sketchy vibes, to where we spent one night out of our two there. Also the manager/owner is a super weird guy. Would give zero stars if I could.

The photos shown for Hotels.com are not actual. This place is so rundown, the paint definitely, still lead, the room was dark and moldy smelling, the floor and the bathroom were scary, so old. The blue railing by the office is bent and loose. wasn't expecting this from the pictures that were shown, from some other motel. The check-in desk is not what you see from the photos. Shame on Hotels.com for not verifying this place. 8 men hanging around were very sketchy, then they went directly to the room above us. The manager wanted us to move to a room next to where the sketchy guys were, "It had new carpet" he said. The window had old newspaper stuffed under it, guess to keep the wind out, but probably couldn't open the windows anyway. found a clean, safe Super 8 for the same rate
