We've stayed at The Colonial Inn several times in the past. It is always a very pleasurable experience. There are multiple food options,either within walking distance or a shirt drive away. The staff is very friendly and accommodating, always! The shopping in the surrounding village is wonderful and varied. You feel like you can slow down and have a relaxing time while staying there. We stayed in room 204 and our bed was very comfortable, which is important to me, with a finicky back. I feel like the outer bed linens could be cleaner tho. I'm not sure that they were changed before our stay, so we just peeled them back. We asked for and received daily cleaning service in the room, which is something you can't get at a hotel chain these days. Service there(from Angel) was excellent. We keep going back because it's an enjoyable experience staying there, and all tourist points, up and down the Jersey shore line are very accessible via nearby highways. You'll enjoy your stay there, I'm sure.

I think the security of a locking gate would be helpful. A stranger did knock on our door and some guy was sitting on our porch when we got back from dinner. Kinda weird.

I will say we will definitely be back. We loved everything about staying there. Our only thing was the bed- But I think it is more of my own taste. The staff was so friendly they make everyone feel so welcomed.

The location and quaintness of the room set in rustic decoration was aluring and romantic. Like Fred and Ethels. The shower was great and unexpected. What a place to unwind. The rooms should get a cleaning of cobweb however and there some dirt in a corner. But great visit.

When I booked this property I didn’t realize it was in a restored (plus newer replicas) historic village. It was on the edge of the New Jersey Pine Barrens which is why we booked. The weather was not great and it was relatively early in the summer season so it was pretty quiet. It might be a bit busy later on in the season. Lots of shops and good dining options on site. Nice, comfortable room with a colonial/early 1800s motif. Cool little train that ran around the property.

A unique stay in a historical setting

Staff was very approachable and helpful. Nice, clean and comfortable room. Comfortable bed and pillows. Towels were the best of any I used during my three weeks of travel. The bathtub/shower was slow to drain. Minor issue.

The "breakfast" is a muffin and yogurt with hot and cold beverage. That is a snack NOT a breakfast. Stay at the Johnathan Pitney house. Just as nice and a full breakfast.
