What guests think

At Colonial Motel, guests repeatedly highlight very clean rooms, friendly and accommodating owners, and a quiet environment, making it a dependable stop for short stays, work trips, and family overnights.

Many note the property is older or plain, though generally well kept. Service feedback is largely positive—prompt check-ins, flexibility, and quick help—yet a few report issues such as slow Wi-Fi, occasional bed discomfort, and rare hiccups with room readiness or billing clarity. Overall, expect a simple, good-value stopover rather than a full-service hotel.

Reasonable and affordable country Motel, some rough trade though. Okay, ample parking, and close to town.

The room had a newer bed but it was squeaky and uncomfortable. The bathroom had a new floor but the rest of the bathroom was very outdated. The room was clean. We had a bad neighbour beside us who was arguing and swearing at his wife throughout the night. He was in and out of the room slamming doors. Was not an enjoyable stay. He was outside our door talking very loudly on his cell phone at 5:00am. They are dog friendly but once you get there they want to charge another $20 per night for the dog. This should be part of the Expedia booking process. I also did not like that they kept a record of my drivers licence number. I understand checking it for our address but in this age of identity problems I don’t know why they need to keep it in their records.

Stayed in the Family Room as there was 5 of us altogether. We were looking for an inexpensive stay overnight. We had a fishing charter boat trip booked for the next day. Easy check-in and very friendly staff. I asked if we could check out a bit earlier in the morning and it wasn’t an issue. Parked directly in front of the room. It was quiet at night, was able to get a good night’s sleep. I would stay there again without hesitation.

Colonial motel was a good place to stay and we would go back again. We are parents with a pre teenager. The motel was clean, the beds comfortable. We felt safe and it was quiet. It suited the needs of our family.

well, when we checked in the owner was very friendly and accommodating bnecause we were very late. the room had an insect in it that disappeared when we turned the light on. there was mascara on one of the pillows, and neither of us wear it . the paint was chipped and flaking. silicon caulking was used more of an accent statement and not just a sealant. roomwas not really clean and the tv remote was wrapped in plastic with scotch tape but did work. informed owner about insect the next morning and his response was " ok thank you. we're not happy and will not be staying there again.

Very friendly staff/owners. Very clean. Stayed here 5 days a week for a couple months. One time I was late in booking, they called me, to see if I needed a room. Went out of their way to make sure I had my room for the week. Great room rates for the area. Highly recommend!!

Way cleaner than other motels. Quiet and the beds were so comfortable. Felt like a cloud in the family bedroom 2 of the beds that is. The 3rd bed was also good. Will rebook at this motel from here on. The tv was standing which was great to use a Roku stick. Very pleased indeed overall. The owner lady was very pleasant. I really liked her. I recommend colonial motel. Thank you.

Looked very plain from the road. Room was fine and price was very reasonable. Not sure how the billing worked, questioned it but didn't understand the answer given. Half collected at time of booking on Expedia but was handed a receipt for the full amount when checked in.
