Beautiful Hotel!

Pros: Stunning views, private beach, extra large swimming pool, and beautiful grounds. Rooms were very clean and the bed was quite comfortable. Friendly staff and only a short drive to downtown shopping and restaurants. Cons: Restaurant food was “ok”. I thought the dinner menu was the lunch menu. Just apps and handhelds.

Needs better update on website description to make very clear no tv or ac. Rooms can hear every footstep and conversation. A lot of door slamming all night long. Would highly recommend noise machines! They should also put maybe some air fresheners in the room as they do smell very stale.

The colony has a great pool! We stay in the cove side across from the older building. The parking for these properties fill up in the summer which made it impossible to park when we got back from dinner. Breakfast is include and it is a great buffet. We ran late one morning and they were nice to grab us some containers to fill and enjoy our breakfast on there scenic porch. Over all this property is a beautiful hotel to visit. No ac or tv’s in the main building, but consider rooms are fully equipped.

Lovely Historical Hotel

Wonderful property with great history. Our room was lovely with a view of the water and balcony. The furniture needed help as our bureau drawers stuck. And lack of AC was challenging at times. We loved the coffee and muffins in the morning and welcome glass of bubbly. A memorable place.

We have stayed here many times and have always enjoyed our stay. We booked our room a year ago to celebrate my birthday. Our reservation was for a garden view room which also included breakfast. We arrived in July 7th and our room looked out onto the maintenance yard and dumpster. Since there is no air conditioning they supplied a fan and extension cord. Not very safe. Needless to say garbage was picked up at 7 AM and awakened us. We were also told their policy for breakfast changed and we would be charged $19 per person plus an automatic 20% gratuity. Breakfast was mediocre and the service was awful. We always enjoyed playing cards on the deck and it seemed most tables had empty glasses that were never cleaned up. The hotel is dog friendly but it seems over run now with dogs, barking early and late at night and water dishes all over. The only thing good about the Colony is the location. We cut our vacation short there and traveled south to York Harbor and stayed in a beautiful,clean inn with breakfast ,ac and half the price right across from the ocean. We’ll never go back to the Colony.
