Colonial Motel

It was clean but the room is small and on description says there is fridge and microwave but there is none. The staff r helpfull though.

Booked the Colonial Motel based on recent reviews that it was ok. It was very inexpensive, so my expectations were low. Clean would have met expectations When checking inn I was told my room was next door at the Ranchito Motel they owned. Don't know why, but based on the Ranchito I doubt the Colonial could have been much better. Room key card didn't work so owner replaced batteries in the door and then still had to get a new card. TV remote only turned TV off and on. Housekeeper showed me how to change channels on a box on the side of the TV and that was that. Floor and most flat surfaces was dirty. Original towels were disgusting, some type of faded orange stains. I don't want to guess what that color started out as. Housekeeper must have know the condition and brought replacements without being asked. Big dogs that were kept on the property barked some during the night, but I was very tired and it didn't bother me much. I wish I had slept in my car instead of this place.

Quiet and respectful neighbors, but loud train right across the street went by three times. A fancy soap caddy was created, but the busted bathroom door frame would not allow door to latch. Extra role of toilet paper was provided, but the spring loaded bar was missing from the dispenser. Nice clean room, but exceptionally small with no chair to sit in. I saw ten baby roaches which had hatched out in the bathroom, but the shower and sink plumbing worked marvelously and had good water pressure. The TV required instructions to use, but the extensive number of channels and variety offered was impressive. And the MOST important things were that there were no bed bugs, and no one broke into our car overnight. Colonial Hotel was within our budget and we were happy to pay it.

no microwave no help

I had a good stay they some cable issues but overall it was good.

Just what I needed— an inexpensive motel close to the highway. There was free WIFi, a fridge and a microwave too. A great bargain!

So this is an older hotel near the train tracks and right on historic Route 66. Overall a pleasant stay. The staff/owners were nice and accommodating. Ample parking with one space per room. The room was very clean so you know the owners do take pride in cleanliness. The room had older desk and comforter but still not bad. Restroom/bathroom very well updated. Only downside that I need to add was I believe some of the guests may be long term tenants so they do have their doors open. Sadly the neighbor to us played his music in his room until about 2am and some guy in the parking lot was screaming explatves at 2:30am. Although my wife and son slept through it made me a bit concerned about safety. This really isn’t the hotels fault and possibly to be expected with the diverse guests you have at a budget hotel. Overall a good stay and would be above average, 6-7/10.

Dirty floor, walls, door. Damaged laminate furniture. Bed and shower clean, bath towel was not. No coffee maker.

This property is excellent for the price. Walkable to stores, restaurants, and train station. Checkin was easy and fast. The rooms of this classic motel have all been remodeled and updated. Bathroom is very nice. Property is very clean. I agree with other reviewers that the bedspreads need replacing. I plan to stay here again in a few days. The only problem I had was some random woman knocking at my door asking for a lighter and to use my phone. Keep doors securely locked.

I would recommend for a single traveller not for a family due to unsafe area and the outside area was dirty but our inside room was clean with uncomfortable beds, mine had no legs so the comforter touched the floor - my son felt unsafe due to the presence of police, firetruck, & ambulance and the room looked like it was converted to a room from a laundry room due to florescent lighting narrow doorway and we had a corner room with another room like a hidden corner with wooden platform at the entrance - but overall inside the room was clean & the a/c worked fine, no bugs or smoky smell.

This place was disgusting. The first room I was shown had not been cleaned. There were hairs in the bed and eyelashes on the pillow. I asked for another room and it was the same. Dirty sheets, filthy floors. I then asked for a refund and went elsewhere. I have high tolerance for below-average motels, but this place doesn't even wash the sheets. Horrible place. Stay anywhere else.

The bed was a bit uncomfortable. There was some glass left on the floor. A lot of hair in the bed, so the sheets were not changed.

The rooms are small, but very clean and quiet. The bed was amazingly comfortable, and the staff is friendly.

Roaches came out late night unfortunately did not notice after 2 squash mid bathroom relief. Also near bed bud carpet darkk brown ooor black masquerade seeing them...

The room was smaller than usual but worked for our overnight stay. No chair in the room although there was a small desk type area where one would have been helpful. The exterior door bolt lock didn't work (but the knob lock did) The bathroom door didn't latch because a piece of the jamb was broken off but that didn't matter to us. We didn't use the tub/shower but it seemed fine. It was a good value for the money overall. The room and bathroom were clean.

Overall clean

Nice staff clean room and bathroom

The room was sparse. Only 1 overhead light in the room, no table lamps near the beds. Sheets looked clean, but one bed had a sheet with a burn in it and the other had some strands of hair inbetween . Bathroom was ok, but as a tall person I found dirt on the higher areas (my eye level). I did see a roach as I was getting my stuff together to leave. Not worth the money I saved.

Room was reserved and ok , but had no table and chairs 😔

July 29. 2023. Check in. Sevice was good. The bed. Alot bed bugs. 👎 A very lond noisy due to the train. Every hour. 👎

Small rooms, but good price.

The motel room was very outdated. The "one" bath towel was thin and ripped. The wash cloth was old and very stained. Our room next door was given to occupants that used it as a place to party ALL night.

The lady kept telling us to turn off the air conditioner. Mattress was old and hard. Pillows were flat. Got cold too. All we had as a blanket was a sheet. Never sleeping there again.

Employees were very helpful. Also all employees were very 👍

The check-in was quick and easy. Rooms are clean, the price is very reasonable.

I reserved a room a month in advance and showed up to a no vacancy sign. She pulled up my reservation and everything and still turned me away. She didn't even apologize. This was the worst motel experience I've ever had. Upon reflection, I'm glad I didn't give them my money. Everything was trash, including the people. Go to the next town and avoid this place like the plague!

Very friendly

Smoke detector kept chirping. Told them and nothing was done. Got woken up at 1:30 a.m. by noisy in next room.

I had to switch rooms 2 times. The first room they put me in was under construction. Second room they put me in was no where near clean and had rat droppings in the bed. Finally the third room was cleaner but the tv didnt work. Staff was not very friendly when I brought up these issues. Better off spending the extra money and getting a room somewhere else. This place reminded me of a crack hotel. I will not be staying here again.

Friendly staff

The rooms were very dirty but they were at least remodeling most rooms while we were there. Staff was extremely rude. Very unfriendly

Single worst hotel experience ever; black mold in the crumbling, protruding, water damaged shower stall walls. Shower head and water spigot were loose and couldn’t be effectively utilized from either source for bath or shower. The cherry on top: our car was stolen from in front of our room! Proprietor and/or staff never offered any commiseration, consolation, or mea culpa;instead we were double charged for another 2 nights after we left. Avoid at all costs; ultra sketchy all around.

A very comfortable older hotel with an amazingly friendly staff

Downtown walking distance

It’s an older motel, obviously. But our room was very nice, clean and spacious, and best of all, smelled clean and natural—even better than most of the more expensive motels. I was impressed. The surrounding area and railroad tracks close by was a little questionable, but we had zero problems.

It is the most convenient place for me. I would like the owner to try to keep it open.
