We stayed across from the main hotel. We had to walk across the facility to get coffee and a muffin. They should have a coffee station in Coveside as well. Over all, it was a charming place.

Looks impressive on the outside but at least our section was ready for a big rehab. Carpets were worn, floors creaked. Great ocean front setting in a beautiful town.

Beautiful hotel. Beautifully decorated, close to town. Loved all the common areas for sitting and enjoying the views. Staff was lovely. We were given a room across the hall from the bar which was super loud and just not an ideal location. Other than that we loved our stay.

The Colony Hotel was so beautiful, and the seacoast location could have not been any prettier. We truly enjoyed this relaxing hotel. We walked to the church and on Ocean Avenue to see the gorgeous homes & Walker's Point. The lobby had ice cold water available after our walk. The breakfast was delicious. I enjoyed the beach & pool.

We were surprised we were not in the building pictured online but rather in a new building. The staff we did meet were friendly. Wish housekeeping would restock daily on items like coffee, styrofoam cups etc. The property was very clean and comfortable. The views from the main building were spectacular! Easy access to the beach!

The view is stunning!! It has a really nice pool with comfy seats. The hotel itself is relaxing and quiet. There is a ton of history and it’s so interesting to read about it. The rooms look old-fashioned, but it’s part of the vibe. It was nice that they had coffee and muffins every morning, and you could go out on the big giant porch and just sit and relax and look at the ocean as you drink your coffee.

The colony hotel was in a convenient location and had beach access where we walked right down and enjoyed the sunset with our dogs. Our room was dirtier than I expected, even for a pet friendly room. The carpet was stained in multiple areas likely pet stains. I understand we booked a pet room because we had our 2 dogs but it was just dirtier than I expected. The WiFi was also terrible, even without WiFi we hardly get any cell service. We couldn’t watch tv because the network was so bad it kept cutting in and out.

Beautiful •grand” hotel from the outside. Great views (again, from the outside). Rooms are outdated and need a REFRESH. No balconies or even big windows to allow for the enjoyment of the views. Another thing, if you don’t like dogs, this isn’t the place for you. Seemed like everyone had a dog at this hotel! Ok with us but just thought I’d put it out there.
