The check in agent was competent though no particular warmth or friendly. We arrive around 10.40 pm and after a long flight I was looking forward to a nice shower. My room on the 3rd floor had absolutely no hot water. Even running the sink faucet for 20 minutes did not result in even warm water. The bed is comfortable and I went to sleep but around 5:30am it sounded like my bed was in the middle of a freeway. I would not have expected that level of traffic noise given the tranquil setting of the night. Breakfast is only included on weekends just in case you miss that detail. The parking if you arrive late is difficult; we got the last spot. I would not recommend this hotel.

Resting on its history and reputation. The fellow checking us in was great, helpful, and kind. Rest of staff was so-so. No breakfast was a downer. The bar just ok, understaffed. Beer selection disapointing. If going back to the area would look for someplace else

Our room was very nice. However, the toilet kept refilling every minute or so-even after our notifying the front desk. Also, no one came to empty trash or change towels during our stay. We were there Friday through Tuesday. All that being said, the restaurant was fantastic and I’d give a walkability score of 90. Not good for people who have trouble with stairs but we would gladly stay there again!

Great location for visiting Concord. Very small room/tiny bath with basic furnishings, not as attractive/cozy as the online photos make it look, but comfortable enough. The building is a warren with multiple tight staircases to get between parking lot, front desk, and room, a bit inconvenient with luggage and not at all accessible if we'd had mobility challenges. It's a historic building, but on the inside, looks merely dated (more like a 30-year-old dormitory than an 18th-century hotel). Some exterior doors were randomly locked, others said they were but weren't. We didn't try the restaurant; breakfast wasn't available on weekdays and we were elsewhere in the evenings. Overall, I would be willing to stay here again but wouldn't go out of my way to do so.

Greetings Susan,Thank you for sharing your feedback. Due to historical building 1716, their are difficulties to change property as a convenience way and implement elevator. However, currently, we are going under renovation and hopefully you will revisit this property once the renovation completed..

Allllll the vibes and atmosphere, rooms are fine.
My daughter and I stayed here on our mother/daughter literary road trip to visit Orchard House, Walden Pond, Sleepy Hollow Cemetery, and Emerson House (closed, sadly). The vibe and location of the Colonial Inn are unbeatable, especially at Christmas time, when there are wreaths and garlands everywhere, and candles in every window. Concord is tiny and very walkable, but we did have a car, and parking was free and ample. The Forge bar is tiny but packed with atmosphere, and Sabas is the best bartender in the game. I accidentally left my credit card on the bar one night, and he made sure it was safely waiting for me at the front desk in the morning. I will say the rooms are just average. Our first room was very small and so hot we had a to sleep with a window open when it was 30 degrees outside. The rollaway we requested was terrifically uncomfortable and took up all our floorspace. We were upgraded to a larger 2-bed room for $20 the following night and that was much more comfortable. The staff was very nice, and overall we had a pleasant stay. I would stay here again if I ever found myself back in Concord.

My wife and I enjoyed our stay. We loved being in the heart of Concord and the hotel complimented the surrounding historical area perfectly We never did see a ghost, not sure if that was good or bad. We had dinner there the first night and enjoyed our meal thoroughly. The one thing I would have a potential visitor be aware of is that it can be a little difficult for someone with a physical impairment to navigate at times. My wife had broken her ankle and was on crutches. Our room was downstairs and she had to negotiate some stairs no matter which way we used to get up to the lobby and dining area. There was a walkout exit in the rear but it was locked after 9:30 pm, I believe, which can make things a little tricky if you get in later. I would emphasize that for us it was not a deal breaker, but it’s something to consider if you have mobility issues.

Although I booked a room in advance and paid for it with my credit card, when I arrived at 11:30 pm I was turned out into the cold. I was told I could not check in without a driver's license or passport. I had neither. I did have the credit card with my name on it and which I had used to pay for the room in advance. I have been reserving rooms through expedia for decades. I found no statement on the hotel website that I would need one of these IDs. They will never get my business in the future.
