Just spent a couple of nights in the hotel. And to be honest it is in need of some TLC and major investment. The hotel is very tired. Infact its asleep. The bedrooms are not clean, dated decor and the bathroom is still in the 70's. The food on an evening is a carvey and straight out of the freezer.... More

Just spent a couple of nights at the Colonial. Mmmmm. I'll try and be positive .............. It's difficult .............. I'm afraid that the Colonial is very very tired, outdated, lacking serious (any) investment, I could go on. At the end of the day I suppose you get what you pay for! I feel over charged!

Very welcoming and helpful! The rooms are pretty... More
