*** travelers beware *** Stayed recently and encountered several issues that made the visit uncomfortable: • Mold on the bathroom ceiling, which staff attributed to the age of the building — but that doesn’t excuse a health concern. • Insufficient heating in the room, despite chilly weather. • spider in bathroom • When I asked to cancel the second night, I was told it wasn’t possible (no cancellations) Instead, they offered a different room • Throughout, staff interactions lacked warmth and professionalism. I didn’t feel heard or supported. I understand older properties come with quirks, but basic cleanliness, comfort, and respectful service should never be negotiable.

This is a quaint and charming looking place in a beautiful town. The room was alright as far as cleanliness goes, although a little dated. The washroom however has not been maintained in quite some time. The paint was bubbling and falling off the ceilings and walls, the bathtub grout and caulking was full of mold and gaps. We had a jacuzzi tub in the bathroom, but there was no way we’d have used it based on what we saw. The shower head had a constant leak and the whole room smelt musky and damp.

Good place, good price.

We came in off-season, everything was good overall. We can see that the place used to be in better shape in a past era, but the grounds are still lovely for this price. The fridge in the room was noisy, and bathroom ventilation is needed.

Liked: Staff & service
Staff was helpful when sundries, etc., were required. The Colonial is a little dated-looking and could obviously use a refreshing in many areas of the property, but the old-style, 60s-era family resort concept is actually a nice departure from the sealed up modern hotels we too often stay in. It was nice to sit in front of our room looking at the treed lot that surrounds the buildings and enjoy a beverage as evening fell. And the price was best in town for a room on the weekend we stayed.

The hotel is suitable for one night, but overall it feels outdated and in need of renovation. The breakfast was disappointing, offering only toast with butter or jam, cereal, yogurt, apples, cupcakes, and coffee or tea. On a positive note, the staff was very kind and welcoming, which was the best part of the stay.

Value for money is not good. Old run down place with musty smell in room. Way too expensive for the room we got. Only had small 2 pillows. Had to keep black-out curtains closed completely if we didn't want people seeing in our room. People smoking continuously beside our door let smoke smell in every time we opened the door. We did appreciate the fridge in room.
