I love this place! I've stayed here twice to break up a long trip. It's the perfect place to relax. It's not within walking distance of anything, but you don't need to leave the hotel - the bar and restaurant in the hotel are perfect. I highly recommend this place.

We enjoyed our stay at the colonial hotel. Easy check-in, very comfortable room on the first floor and we enjoyed using the pool and the restaurant. The people at the desk for check-in were very pleasant and easy to chat with.

Stayed here years ago. The rooms haven't changed much. The rooms are pretty standard, but the lobby, staff and food are all better than most hotels. Maybe a little old school, but I love the look of the hotel. The bed was really comfortable. The event banquet food has always been wonderful. They can handle the volume of plates without affecting the appeal. Great work!
