Hotel is very outdated. The room amenities advertised when we booked were not in the room that we got on arrival. The manager and I agreed that I booked the “same” room but that the room did not come with what was offered in the description despite having a screenshot of my booking.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Colonial Inn Motel ! We don't need a fancy facility with bells and whistles, just a place that's clean and meets our needs. Colonial does that and still adds more. There is a lot of character and memories through the years of its" older style. Yet it is kept clean and functional for families to continue to enjoy and make memories. It's a plus that it is right in the beach with a pier next to it as well. We will definitely return. Thanks Colonial Inn !

Not a bad stay. This is an older property but for the price and location, was a good stay. Our room was nice, we were comfortable and it served the purpose. My only disappointment was not being able to actually see the ocean in our “oceanfront” room because the dunes have gotten so high they block the view.
