Book Direct for a Bespoke Experience
Do you dislike feeling like just another number at a massive hotel chain? Are you weary of the predictable, uninspired continental breakfast buffets?
Instead, imagine this: being warmly greeted by name, finding a thoughtful gift awaiting you because our staff discovered you are celebrating a special occasion, or returning to a room where the temperature has already been set to your exact preference for a perfectly restful night’s sleep. This is the difference you’ll discover at The Colonial Inn. When you book directly with us - whether by phone or through our website - you’ll receive the kind of personalized attention and care you won’t find at corporate chains or on discount booking sites.
Here, every detail matters, and every guest is part of our story.
