Mediocre to poor accommodations for the price point. Hardware falling off, no view. Sad, low quality toiletries. Ambience in the lobby it dark and off putting. Not a cozy Or luxury experience.

Convenient to downtown Delray and shopping and restaurants. It’s a historic hotel so has windows AC’s that are very noisy and making sleeping difficult. I would imagine that hotel would be hot during the summer though? Unfortunately, did not get to the Beach Club.

By day, you get a private beach with towels, umbrellas, bathroom/changing areas, and a restaurant. By night, you’re on the main drag but still a few blocks away from the crowds and noise. Great place to spend a few days in Delray.

The staff was knowledgeable . The rooms were neat and clean although no pool or beach but on a main strip for shopping. Did have another location about 2 miles away that you can shuttle to that is on the beach and has a pool. The in window air conditioners were efficient.

Highly recommend. The Beach Club is special. 2 concerns: the bathroom water has a brownish color to it. Your 2 nite per week (S) bartender needs to go back to Charm School. Full course- not just a refresher. Delray needs a noise ordinance for Atlantic Ave. too many trucks with no purpose other than to Gawk at women.

Great location. Really enjoyed the live music on Saturday night. The bar in the lobby should have more than one bartender on a Saturday night. I liked the traditional decor of the hotel. However, it smelled like mold, and we heard every sound from the people upstairs. Every step, everything they dropped on the floor. It was not a good night's sleep at all.

Disappointed with the advertising about the pool.
We were very disappointed when arriving after a long flight that there was no pool at the property after seeing all the online pics.Hotel is indeed old looking. that being said was the cleanest place we have ever stayed.Room was large with a great bed and large bathroom.Beware, floor very slippery when wet and ladies remove all jewerly when showering ,drain had no cover it could swallow a large toe.Room cleaning service was the BEST with daily cleaning and fresh towels.Breakfast was absymal, there is no restaurant at this hotel.Our biggest gripe was all the pics of this great pool but no mention of it being 2 miles away.They do provide a shuttle every 2 hours,We drove and parking was no problem.Cabana club served lunch with great food but only from noon till 230.Pool was large and beach front.Location of hotel was great, right downtown next to bars shopping and reatuarants,So a very very old but super clean hotel with no onsite pool,in a great location with a poor breakfast and an after thought fitness room.I want to give this place a higher rating for the service and care,but the pool pics were misleading and were a bring down from what we had expected.Now that I know what to expect we still might stay again,the room care and location were the best. Oh and the hotel bar only opened at 4 pm and there was no bar at the pool,but we brought our own.Again super clean with large rooms in a old hotel with a great location but no pool onsite.

This hotel is old. Has AC units in the window and a corded telephone in the bathroom. Everything is clean, well cared for. Bed is very comfortable. The real advantage of the Colony Hotel is that it comes with membership at the Cabana Club, two easy miles away. A spectacular salt water pool, cold plunge, private beach, lunch service. Also a great location on Atlantic Avenue and Federal Highway (Route 1) in Delray. A most pleasant comfortable stay.

We had a fantastic weekend stay at the Colony Hotel and Cabanas! I think you must have realistic expectations of an old hotel and know that it’s not the Ritz, but we enjoyed our stay very much. We had a corner room overlooking the Ave which wasn’t too loud and had lots of natural light (or could be blackout if you preferred. The only two things that weren’t pleasant was 1) the downstairs area has a strong musty smell but didn’t smell it at all in our room and 2) the pillows are lumpy and could use a refresh. Otherwise our firm bed was comfortable enough for the price and it was exactly what we needed. The Cabana club was the cherry on top with a large pool and private beach. We will definitely stay here again! 4.5 stars!

This Old World Florida hotel is beautiful & unique in the middle of downtown Delray. Perfect for our last night as residents of Delray Beach ... starting a new chapter somewhere else. Elegant and fun interior finishes ... pet friendly (we do have a very well behaved small dog). Highly recommend.

weekend stay
Stayed there for three nights over the weekend. It is a very charming old hotel. It being old was in no way a negative. Having access to their beach club (2 miles away) was definitely a huge bonus. The best part of the hotel is its location. It is right in the middle of Atlantic Ave with endless options of restaurants/bars and other things to do.

The Colony Hotel was AMAZING. But I do have to include the one little critter problem also. But first, to te positive! The hotel was spotless! So clean, airy, perfect temperature, NO SMELLS (no perfume or bad smells). Beautiful decor. Beautiful window views of the town. My room was on the second floor (a queen size bed). I LOVED this room. I never like staying at hotels because the rooms are so modern and usually white or beige walls. This was not that kind of room! Beautiful colored walls, wooden floors and giant tile floors in bathroom. The bathroom was so spacious and lovely. Cute desk, dresser, end tables, big closest with a safe. Really impressed and delighted with the room. Absolutely loved the hotel. The staff, ALL were so amazing, kind courteous, so helpful. I saw many staff members, and each and every one of them were great towards me. Now for the one tiny little problem. I spotted roaches. Please don't let this turn you off. I saw just one in the hallway the first night. Second night, again saw one in hallway (maybe it was the same one...) and on the last day, one was in my room. But, that was MY fault because I left food out for hours, so he was in that area. I called room service, and they got the roach! Again, please don't let this deter you, the hotel is amazing. The shopping is all around, this place is wonderful to stay at. Also, you can pack sticky pads to get roach. You may never encounter a roach there, just do NOT leave food out. Pretty simple.

The hotel is traditional old Florida hotel which is not suited to everyone but we loved it! Great location on Atlantic Avenue in Delray with lots of shops, restaurants and bars within walking distance. The Colony Beach Club has a lovely pool and facilities, with great beach access and parking.
