8/10 Very Good

We stay at the Colony yearly and find it a nice old comfortable inn. Had to change rooms because of construction and was somewhat disappointed having to pay a substantial up charge. Waitstaff very good. The inn is extremely dog friendly so be forewarned about pee on the stairs

8/10 Very Good

We are from the Berkshires and northern Michigan. The Colony reminds us a bit of The Grand Hotel on Mackinac Island and a lot of the Red Lion Inn in Stockbridge—two iconic and beloved properties.

10/10 Exceptional

Beautiful historic inn in a gorgeous setting overlooking harbor. Walk along Ocean Avenue close. Loved our stay and wish we could have stayed longer.

2/10 Poor

Room picture was not indicative of actual room. Building had rusted fire escapes, was in dire need of paint and in general disrepair. Walls were so thin you could hear people in other rooms blow their noses. Overall a terrible experience for the price paid.

6/10 Good

Staff was friendly. Historic hotel amenities are consistent with the times the hotel was built. Bed was very uncomfortable. Breakfast was good.
