This applies to guys, if you need an affordable place to stay for the night, get up brush your teeth and leave, then this is it. Ladies don't even think about staying here, you will cry and you will be pissed off at your man, if you stay here. I checked in late at night, took a shower, warmed up my food container, then went straight to bed. I woke up brushed my teeth and left. I told the staff that one of the outlets stopped working and that the microwave didn't have a glass plate. They said they would look into it. They are renovating the place as well. so hopefully it gets better.

Disappointment

Despite booking a reservation, they did not have the reservation, and they said they had no rooms available, despite there only appearing to be a few cars in the parking lot. It seemed like part of the ceiling was falling down inside, and it was generally poorly kept.

I didn't like anything. I take that back. They did have hot water and the a/c worked. The towels in the bathroom needed to be replaced. The light over the Sink, you had to plug in to socket. The hot water knob on the tub was hanging on by a thread. I floor or rug was dirty. One walk across it and my socks were dirty, TV didn't work. Bed was poor and pillowcases and sheets need replacing. That Inn was by far the worst I've ever stayed in. The door going outside was damaged by a dog i guess. the security chain was missing. The office was trashed. I guess that is enough. The girl waiting on me was nice. She cancled my next two nights......

Didn’t know about the fire on 1/2 the rooms. Staff said all cables burnt up so no TV. I guess that’s why the smoke detector is missing in the room too, lol.

When we arrived they did not have our names, just ask for the type of room. Although almost empty they did not have a king bed available. They gave us the room with the Jacuzzi at no extra cost. The lady was polite, but the place was a mess. It needs a full upgrade.

I wouldn't let my worst enemy stay there... First, there were boarded up doors and windows on the first room next to the main entrance. Second, we arrived at 6:30pm and there was a sign at the front desk that said "Back at 7", so there was no one there to even book us in... There was no heat in the lobby at all, it was ice cold. There were ceiling tiles missing all through the hallways, there was a white christmas tree with lights on it (plugged in... FEBRUARY!) WHY IS THIS PLACE EVEN ALLOWED TO LIST ROOMS AVAILABLE???? We got right back in our vehicle and left... NIGHTMARE!!!

The whole facility is in need of repair. The people are wonderful, but the rooms need some help. The only positive is that a new toilet had been installed and worked properly. The beds were okay, but overall not much has been done to update since the 1960s.

My stay

Everything was older in the room but working. The tv had a remote but you had to turn it on using a button on the tv. Took us awhile to figure it out. Saw electrical work that had been done and know that it was not inspected by anyone. The wire for the ceiling light was exposed as it ran to the exhaust fan. There was not much noise and people were courteous.

Hidden Gem!

Colonial Inn is a Hidden Gem off the beaten path! Check-in and check-out went by very quickly as they were ready for our arrival. The motel itself is so quaint that it reminded me of my stay in Branson, MO a few years ago. The value was superb, and they had both a microwave and a refrigerator in the room! Sleeping was comfortable. I highly recommend Colonial Inn!
This shows the microwave, mini fridge, and TV.
