Clean, Safe, Friendly, Convenient, Authentic

I've stayed at the Colonial Motel a couple of times, exploring the local area, hiking, kayaking. Places like the Colonial are increasingly rare these days. A welcoming and authentic place to stay- and it's the nicest building in town, refreshing pool, comfortable room, and a ten minute drive in several directions to recreation and decent food.

What a charming place! This motel is well-maintained, clean, and has such a cute atmosphere, perfect for a little getaway. The staff was so kind - we were greeted in the lobby by the owner (I believe?) and he was so incredibly friendly. The room was lovely and well-decorated - I especially loved the bedspread. And the pool is great as well. Would definitely recommend and would love to visit again!

Felt like we stepped back in time, very mountain cabinish. We arrived late and left very early so our ratings reflected that like we did not get to try the area around the property.

We have stayed at this property many times and we love the comfort of home feeling that we get. The rooms and property are very clean and well kept. The pool is large and very clean. The staff is always so accommodating and friendly. We will continue to come here again and again for a quick Catskills getaway.

First off, There is Colonial Motel and Colonial House. I was in the house. Overall, a good stay. Quiet (down right peaceful) and clean. It is an older house but clean. The only draw back was the bed was too soft. Some people may like it, but to soft for me.
