Beautiful hotel. Beautifully decorated, close to town. Loved all the common areas for sitting and enjoying the views. Staff was lovely. We were given a room across the hall from the bar which was super loud and just not an ideal location. Other than that we loved our stay.

The Colony Hotel was so beautiful, and the seacoast location could have not been any prettier. We truly enjoyed this relaxing hotel. We walked to the church and on Ocean Avenue to see the gorgeous homes & Walker's Point. The lobby had ice cold water available after our walk. The breakfast was delicious. I enjoyed the beach & pool.
