Disliked: Staff & service
The location of the hotel could not be better, VERY close to the beach. But the hotel is very dated, shabby rusted furniture in the rooms. Parking lot and pool deck are not well maintained. The rooms are non-smoking, but they have tables and chairs right outside the room doors where people are always out smoking.

When I first went to Colonial Beach, River Edge Inn was the Days Inn. They remodeled and changed the name. The rooms were nice and immaculate. The staff was wonderfully pleasant. I will always stay at River Edge Inn.
