What guests think
Reviews of Colonial Motel are mixed: some guests appreciated clean, spacious rooms, easy check-in, friendly staff, and low prices, while many others reported dirty or musty rooms, stained linens, plumbing issues, and a generally worn, poorly maintained feel.
Service feedback ranges from friendly, fast check-in to complaints about rudeness, deposit or pricing disputes, reservation mix-ups, and refusal to assist with refunds. Rooms are basic and dated, with noise and thin curtains, hard pillows, or broken AC reported, though a few mention comfortable beds and ample space. Location is walkable to shopping and dining for some, but several guests noted a rough environment with people loitering, nighttime noise, and safety concerns. Expect a budget stay with significant variability.
