What guests say

  • This motel is a bit older, but the rooms have been renovated and are very nice. Even the pool was redone recently so it was quite enjoyable as well. The staff was very friendly too!

    Nick West

  • This place remains nice. This is our 2nd visit here. Colonial Inn is rustic, and the beach and fishing pier is 2 minutes away.

    Dick Rankin

  • Great place for what it is... Come expecting a clean mom and pop hotel feet from the ocean, pier and restaurant... You will not be disappointed..
