The Colony Hotel

Will definitely return

The Colony is quintessential Maine. We loved every moment of our stay.

Uncomfortable bed and pillows. No tv. Plugs old and items you plug in fall out. Hotel needs to be updated

While the location and the grounds of the Colony are impressive, the room we stayed in and the service were quite unimpressive. The very old, stained carpet in the room (as well as in the elevator), the squeaky floors, and the lack of even a bottle of water in the room (not to speak about a coffee/tea machine) gave us a bleak, unwelcome feeling. 

Regarding service: by noontime on the second day, our room was not yet made. We alerted the front desk, and they promised it would get done later in the afternoon. We returned to the room close to 5 pm, and the room was still not cleaned. When we asked the front desk about it, they told us that the cleaning team had already left for the day. Only after we insisted did we find the room rearranged on our return at 8 pm. 

And all this for a room of over $500 a night.

Highly disappointing—will not return and will not recommend the Colony Hotel.

The Colony Hotel is in an enviable position on Ocean Drive and on entering the hotel we were struck by the imposing reception area and beautiful sea view from there. Our room was beautifully decorated and we appreciated the fact that we had free parking and that we could walk into town. However, we felt that the hotel is totally reliant on the beautiful building and location for business and does not appear to be particularly concerned with customer experience. The sheet on our bed was torn and despite mentioning to housekeeping was not changed. After much discussion we were offered a free breakfast which we accepted. The bath had a constant drip and the bath was stained as a result and we found hair in the bath that was clearly neither of ours for the duration of our stay. We also felt that the lack of tea/coffee making facilities was poor. To add insult to injury, when we checked out they attempted to charge us for 2 evening meals that had been incorrectly assigned to our room and which took an inordinate amount of time to sort out. We had thought that staying at The Colony would be the highlight of our trip but were left feeling totally underwhelmed. We will not be recommending The Colony to our friends.

The rooms in the courtyard building were very modern, sleek, beautifully decorared in a beachy theme. The views of the ocean were beautiful, especially at sunset. Very convenient to town.

The room was not clean. There was food on the floor and dust piled in the corners of the room. The bed was so uncomfortable. Didn’t know we were staying in a place that had no AC and no TVs in the rooms. The property looked a little ran down. Weddings on site took away from the experience and was noisy up to 12 am in the morning. For the $600 a night cost I would never stay here again

The Colony offered great views and convenience.

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.

Beautiful views!

Room and common areas were very clean. Staff was friendly. Complimentary glass of sparkling wine was a nice touch. Views were spectacular.

Lovely historic hotel.

Wonderful views and friendly staff. Great get away for my husband and I. Very relaxing.

The room was clean. The problem was that our room was right above the wedding band and it was very loud. The hotel knew there was a wedding and booked the room anyway. After much complaining they did move us to a

Very friendly staff. Love the beautiful location.

Walking in took my breath away with the doors open and the view of the water! I feel like this is a very special & unique place. Just don’t forget anything because they don’t have stuff on-hand & everything closes by 6-7pm.

Very cozy historic hotel!

The view was gorgeous

Historic property, oceanfront

This place is Amazing! What a wonderful location-walking distance to downtown, beach and restaurants. We had an ocean view room and the scenery was spectacular! Staff was very friendly!
