Always love staying at the Colony Hotel. This was our first time staying in the winter in the relatively new rooms, across from the main building. Our room was very clean and the staff personable. It was nice to have a large screen tv. The close proximity to Dock Square where many of the Prelude activities were taking place was great too! We just missed the great food we always enjoy, as the restaurant is closed for the winter.

Staff was very nice and appreciated the coffee machine in the rooms. I did find a few things from other guests in the room, like a baby pacifier and sock under the bed so I'm not sure staff cleans 100% everywhere. Still a nice stay

We loooooved the Colony Hotel! We were there in late October, so the main part of the hotel was closed, but the wing on the other side of the parking lot was brand newly remodeled and perfectly convenient, super clean and cute! Very easy parking, very very convenient location, we could walk straight out to the path along the ocean and could either walk or a very short drive to town. We absolutely loved it so much that we came back two nights later!
