We unexpectedly booked here after our original plans fell through. It was an unexpected blessing to say the least. We absolutely loved the hotel and the walkability to the beach and to shops/dining. Not to mention all the staff were so pleasant and accommodating to my family. Special shout out to Ronny at the valet area, he was very cool to talk with while I was waiting for my family to come down from our room. Bottom line is, if you are debating on staying here or not, you should!!

We had a wonderful stay at the Grande Colonial. It’s in a perfect location for walking, shopping and dining. We parked the car and didn’t use it again until we left two days later. The hotel is beautiful, classic and extremely comfortable. And, the service was friendly and efficient. Looking forward to our next visit.

The area is perfect, the location is what it’s worth it. Free parking is amazing but the valet guy doesn’t even know how to drive a Tesla. The room literally was crumbling down on the walls, the noise is terrible and my view was a staff door. Terrible experience
