Verified Reviews of The Colonial Hotel
Below are the verified reviews from guests that we have booked recently: "25 years going to Colonial!"
Overall Score5.0/ 5
I have been going to the Colonial for at least 25 years. The staff is welcoming and the rooms are spacious. Now I bring a grandson who loves the hot tub and pool (one way to keep the rug rats busy and expend energy)!

Overall Score1.0/ 5
Good hotel. Gangster booking site. Charged almost as much in booking fees as the room cost! Terrible! Contacting the BBB.

Overall Score4.0/ 5
I never stayed at hotel as Expedia reservation person did not book the correct date I requested which was a room within a block of rooms for a wedding 6/15 6/16! NOT 6/16 6/17! The phone number for booking a reservation on Colonial website was not the hotel phone number but instead went to reservation person who, when I requested to speak with hotel staff, this person said “ Colonial hotel phones are answered by us so u can make reservation now”. Terrible experience! To find out I did not have a room for the wedding night was terrible!

Overall Score5.0/ 5
We were in the area for a graduation. The hotel property is meticulously maintained. The rooms were comfortable, accommodating and the hotel was quiet. The amenities are good, and the ample parking lot made it easy not only to park, but served as a good walking space to get some exercise in. Enjoyed the quick stay and would stay here again.

Testimonials:
"By the way, I was very pleased with your site's service! It turned out that our group got a better room price reservation at a comparable hotel to the one we were considering. Since our small jazz band doesn't really have any budget to speak of, price was an important consideration and thanks to your service we were able to save money without sacrificing on the quality and amenities of the hotel. Thanks again! We'll be using you again, I'm sure, for future trips." D.R. - Auburn, WA
