"We're return customers to Colonial Inn. We had a great stay again. The room was clean and staff was very friendly. Hotel is close to restaurants and shopping. Location is perfect!! Would recommend this hotel to others!"

"Very mixed- the staff were wonderful. Very accommodating, friendly, the new restaurant staff was great. The room seemed okay on the surface, but once we were there one night- we debated going home early. The floors were sticky and when I started wiping them down the towel turned so black I had to throw it away. The AC in the room didn’t work and the room itself had a very musky smell. The gym is small but mighty with great equipment and was clean. We were in a last minute pinch to book and the main picture on hotels.com make the property look like it has nearby beach access…. I have no idea what that picture is to, but it certainly is not this property. There is a large price difference. Properties with easy beach access and amenities with a dog were pulling up over $500 with this property being considerably lower. When traveling with a pup, we understand we are limited, so this wasn’t the worst experience. It’s close to downtown Manteo docks and an easy drive or bike ride to the lost colony. It’s on the main road, but we couldn’t hear the traffic noise from our room. It’s a 10 min. Drive to OBX beaches, and there are some nice places around the hotel such as the front porch coffee shop, restaurants, and the downtown Manteo (pronounced Maneo) area."

"The hotel is in the middle of renovations, so there’s that. Great location and check in staff was friendly. For the price we paid for an oceanfront room, the room was ok. It had been updated, but there were cigarette ashes on our balcony and hair all over our room floor. The bathroom ceiling had mold. The neighbors that stayed near us Saturday night were obnoxiously loud til 4:30am, but that’s not the hotels fault. "

"There was a lot of positive things with only a few minor issues. Nothing to keep us from not returning. "

"The room was clean and spacious. Breakfast was good and the cookies every evening were so nice! The staff is really welcoming and it’s a great place to stay around the holidays! We stayed the week of Thanksgiving…"
