This hotel has pros and cons. Pros : On the beach, Pet friendly, broom clean,friendly staff, cute office dog, hot tub,pool and free use of grill. Cons: Floors and shower stalls need bleach, every thing else ok, chips under our bed the entire week, but fresh sheets and towels every day. Our room, knowing it was non ocean view was... more

I recently spent 3 days at this hotel with my wife and two kids and we had a very nice time. If anybody does a little research you'll know that OOB is a typical carnival type beach town with the hotels to match. I booked the Colonial knowing I wasn't going to be staying in Boca Raton. Sure the hotel... more

We recently stayed a night in one of their "best" rooms with a private balcony. We were very disappointed with the condition of our room. We paid $337 and expected to stay in a very nice room for that high price. The bedspreads were clean but just looked rather old. The pillows were very flat and not comfortable. The “kitchen”... more

We are booked for Sept 2006 which will be our 6th yr. We first tried The Old Colonial because it is on the water and pet friendly. Have always found the rooms to be clean and comfortable and have found the owners to be extremely friendly! We also tend to meet some of the same people there because they too... more

Just returned from a weekend at the Old Colonial. Despite the rainy weather Sat & Sun, we had a great time. The staff was very friendly and the room was nothing fancy, but it was clean and neat, although the bed could have been in better shape. Because we called at the last minute there were only a couple rooms... more

THe only good thing was the bathroom! The kitchennette unit was cramped. The extra bed was a mattress on the floor. Shades ripped. People constantly going past room. No place to store luggage. One rack against hal a wal for clothes hanging. But parking was the tightest ever experienced. Staff not friendly. View of ocean was negligible from first floor... more

After a flight from New York to Boston, my daughter and I unwound on a comfortable Amtrak train from Boston to Old Orchard Beach. We walked from the train station to our hotel, the Old Colonial, and couldn't have had a nicer experience there. Although it wasn't glitzy or fancy, the room was clean, the king-sized bed was very comfortable,... more

Stayed here August 2004 There was inadequate parking my car was blocked in five times in four days. The hotel workers were very unpleasant. Paid $200 a night for a room with a sofa bed which had the springs popping out... my daughter slept with blankets on the floor. The room had no curtains. The bathroom was so small with... more

My Husband and I have been coming to The old colonial motel for 4 years. We keep coming back. We love the friendly people. We have never had a problem. We bring our small pug and we love that we can include her. Which many hotels do not allow dogs. This year we will be coming again. more
