What guests say
8.8 / 10 · Very good on Booking.com, from 264 guest reviews
Colonial Inn earns consistently high marks for its prime walkable location, warm and attentive staff, and comfortable, clean rooms, with many guests eager to return. Breakfast satisfies most but draws some criticism for being repetitive or underwhelming, and a handful of guests flagged A/C performance and pool water cleanliness as areas needing improvement. Overall, the sentiment is strongly positive, with minor operational niggles rather than serious concerns.
