The place is under construction. Room was fine but pool not open no signage on the outside. I think it will be fine eventually. Staff was great though.

They were in the process of a renovation on the exterior or I'd have rated the property higher. Cyrus checked us in and later came up to our room to fix a TV issue, great service, he is a huge asset to your company! Not our first stay here, we will be back.

Good Afternoon Barbara,Thank you for taking the time to provide such valuable feedback as this is how we improve for the next guest.

We appreciate you choosing The Colony Inn and hope to welcome you back when we are a Marriott!

Thank you for taking the time to let us know how your visit to The Colony Inn went. We appreciate the constructive criticism as this is how we improve for the next guest. So sorry about the work that is going on at the property as we are continually improving. This is why our rates are a bit low, to factor in the transitioning.

Nice, budget motel. Last time we were here (years ago) it was part of the Best Western chain. Rooms still large, beds still comfy, and sofa bed still not comfy. Everything worked and was clean. We did have to plug the cable box power cord in since it was left out of the socket. We were visiting family locally, so this was a good place to rest for the nights during our visit.

There was no hot water. They said it was due to being fully booked. Not a good reason. Also, I did not find anywhere that stated we needed to pay more for a dog. I don’t mind but please make sure this information is easily seen. We could have stayed elsewhere for the full price we paid.

I preface this with the timperiod was over Thanksgiving (22nd-24th). Checking in and customer service in general was superb. Wi-Fi was out on the 3rd floor, and this was recognized about 10 minutes after checking in. Spoke with the front desk and they said they were aware of the issue. Internet was never reactivated. Up until we checked out on the 24th it was out. Sucks that your cell signal (Verizon/AT&T) isnt reliable as well. Ended up using nearly all of our entire allotment of our montlhy data allotments. Offered IT consulting services (I am a computer systems architecht) but it wasn't accepted. Luggage carts got the job done but they felt like the tires were really low on air.

Check in was easy, the associates at the front desk were courteous and helpful. The room was clean and easy to access. There's a full bath tub/ shower which I like very much. The heater was a little loud, especially at night because the property was so quiet. The shampoo could be better. Other than that, my family quite enjoyed our stay there.
