Wonderful stay in the snow. Very picturesque with lots of shops and restaurants.
Exceptional greeting by Manager Bill who was incredibly gracious and helpful. Room was spotless, comfortable and warm. Good in room coffee! Although we stayed in off season months, town was very active and the stay was quite enjoyable. Would recommend and would def return!
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
The rooms in the courtyard building were very modern, sleek, beautifully decorared in a beachy theme. The views of the ocean were beautiful, especially at sunset. Very convenient to town.
This place is Amazing! What a wonderful location-walking distance to downtown, beach and restaurants. We had an ocean view room and the scenery was spectacular! Staff was very friendly!
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!

The hotel offers beautiful views off the beaten path. Unfortunately the staff wasn’t very helpful and the property seemed to cater to the large tour buses.
