The owner was so friendly and accommodating! We needed to leave a day early due to storms headed our way and he was happy to refund us our last night. All staff was friendly and brought us towels daily! The front office has everything you need should you run short, and a kiosk in case you lock yourself out of your room and need a new room key (my husband found that useful when he locked himself out in the middle of the night). Overall a wonderful stay and right on the beach and next door to the fishing pier (which has 2 restaurants on it).

It was nice that it was right on the ocean. people with pets should only be in a separate designated area. Dogs left in room alone next to ours barked nonstop, along with yelling and pounding noises of their owners caused us to leave a day sooner than planned and paid for.

The stay for the money was good. Bathroom was very small, no dressing mirror, no hand held shower fixture, so ladies bring a shower cap if you don’t want to wash your hair everyday! Parking was bad.

The beach is right there, making it easy to be back and forth from beach to your room. The beach is amazing and there is lots of food and shopping options close by. The room is small but clean. Parking lot is small but not to bad. It would be nice if they would clean the rooms, they drop off fresh towels every day but don’t come in to clean or change sheets. Over all it would be hard to beat for the price.

The Colonial Inn is an older hote,l but it was clean. The office worker was very polite a our check-in/out. Employees were always busy cleaning and working on the grounds. No one came into the room to change towels, however, everyday there werecfresh towels outside your door in a bag. The room was without carpet which was very nice since the hotel had steps that led to the beach, which was great. Our room was supplied with a broom and dustpan so the sand from beach could be swept. Even though it was an older hotel, I would stay again.

Too Basic Even for Me
I am glad I was solo because I'd been embarrassed to show anyone else what I had reserved. It is very old and very basic. The walls are paper thin. I could almost hear people breathing, that's how thin the walls were. It is dog friendly, so you can hear them bark from inside your room.

I loved my stay, it was pet friendly, great beach access and the price was very good. Also the rooms were equipped vey nice with towels, coffee, etc. I would highly recommend this motel especially if they are running on a tight budget. I also have decided that my wife and I will make this a yearly vacation spot. And I couldn’t think of any other place I’d rather stay. Thanks Colonial.
