Plusses - The Colony is in a beautiful setting. The room in the main building was spacious. Negatives - no concierge (the front desk staff purports to fill this role, though many of the staff are foreign, and not knowledgable about the area- and in some cases not friendly). In mid-August the property was swarming with multigenerational families, many of... more

We stayed at the Colony Hotel on a whim as we were driving by on a Thursday night in September. It was after Labor Day so off-season and rather quiet. The staff was fantastic, room was clean and simple and the ocean views (and sound of crashing waves) was awesome. The breakfast was included in our rate and we loved... more

My husband and I recently stayed over on a Saturday night at the Colony Hotel and had a wonderful time. The hotel is very "dog friendly" which is okay with me to a degree. We have a dog ourselves but do not travel with him because of his age. The only thing I would suggest is that the hotel make... more

I have never taken the time to write a review before but after leaving The Colony I decided now was the time. Yes The Colony has beautiful views and is a lovely historic hotel but I can tell you that the staff has much to be desired. It seemed that the staff that was brought in from other countries were... more

My husband and I stayed at The Colony for three nights in mid-July. I had read the reviews on Tripadvisor and was worried about the dogs, children, noise, etc, mentioned in several of the reviews. So I emailed the hotel, said we were coming alone (no children, no dogs), that I hoped to do some work in my room while... more

Fun colors and nice, clean blankets on the bed. My husband and I along with our two small children realllly enjoyed the hotel and all it had to offer.... more

Great hotel in southern Maine with sweeping views overlooking the Atlantic. All ages enjoy this hotel, from babies, to tweens to teens, Mom's & Dad's and grandparents all come together at this little bit of Americana. Breakfast is served daily buffet style offering a bit of something for everyone. It is served beautifully on a sunny porch again overlooking the... more

This hotel staff needs serious training in hotel manners. First oof all, no guest shall ever be referred to by their first names especially upon confirming a reservation alone when the llast name and their professional title M.D. was clearly delineated in the email!!! How disrespectful and unprofessional!!! I immediately change my reservation in order to to meet more professinally... more

Stayed only one night, Sat. no heat, much noise from wedding parties, 2am still at it outside, halls carried all the sounds of people coming and going. For the price it was not worth it and would not stay again. Charge an extra five per day for tips to hotel staff. Just a tired old hotel, with high prices, if... more
