Great location. Friendly staff. Only issue was the size of the bathroom and lack of any vanity (difficult for family use) and the air conditioner was extremely loud.

Had a great two nights at the colonial inn with our three kids (11, 12 and 15). Great location, friendly staff, lovely little heated pool and hot tub. Breakfast was small but good quality. Room clean, comfortable and well appointed. Evening by the fire pit was a highlight.

Staff was wonderful and so helpful. It's in a great location to marginal Way, beach, downtown. Was very clean. One suggestion is to move the full length mirror cause the dresser was blocking it. Otherwise, no complaints.

The hotel is old and it shows in the room. The AC unit was not very effective. But everything was very clean and the staff was nice and helpful. Breakfast was ok but the choices were limited. The location is the best feature of this hotel: it is a short walk to the beach (around 15 minutes), a short walk to the main area in town with all the restaurants and shops, you have two entrances to Marginal Way very close. You can park your car and not take it for all your stay!
