When I made the reservation I was with the understanding that breakfast was included with each night stay and was told that it was a pay if you wanted a meal and the price for breakfast was a little so we ate elsewhere

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
I booked because they have sauna however the Sauna wasn’t working but they only said it when I didn't say anything about. I had to stay there anyway. Next time post it then I can make a decision where I would stay for my whole weekend.
We were so impressed by the Colonial. The staff was so friendly and the rooms and facilitiies immaculate. We enjoyed the pool and hot tub area very much. The bar and lounge was a great way to end the day, and the breakfast was delicious. We will be back!
We have stayed multiple times and will be back. Uts always nice and quiet with clean rooms. The only minor issues we have are there are no hooks to hang towels. They do have dinner at the on-site restaurant but a hit or miss.
This is a greag property with plenty of historic charm. The staff are all friendly and helpful. This was my second stay here and I'll definitely be back.
We enjoyed our stay at the colonial hotel. Easy check-in, very comfortable room on the first floor and we enjoyed using the pool and the restaurant. The people at the desk for check-in were very pleasant and easy to chat with.
