We were pleasantly surprised we enjoyed our stayand the kids really enjoyed the pool. This may not be a place to stay if you want really quiet as you can hear everything in the hallway and the walking upstairs over your head. We were in town for cheer comps so there was kids being kids it didnt bother us as one of the cheer families. We brought a fan it drowned the noise enough to get to sleep all in all it was great. Breakfast was minimal but we grabed a pop tart while getting ready to get out the door out the door and headed for dunkin lol

Aside from the doors locking mechanisms and older mattresses, this is a great stop for people on the road. They have guest laundry services, a heated indoor swimming pool, a game room and plenty of different vending machines including ice cream and breakfast sandwiches. The continental breakfast offers many choices.

We stayed at the Colonial Inn for about a week back in July with family. It was a quiet spot, and the kids LOVED the arcade area and pool. We had booked two rooms and one was nicely updated while the other was pretty musty and in need of renovation. If we could ensure we got one of the updated rooms, we would definitely stay here again in the future.

Perfect stay

Everything went perfectly. It was great to be able to park outside of sliding doors - so much easier to unload stuff. Staff were great! I thought my bed was vibrating and I asked the night staff to check it...it wasn't, and he didn't even act like I was nutty! ( my body was vibrating from driving for so many hours). Would love to stay there during summer or fall.
