Liked the clean and spacious room. The owners were very nice, and very accomodating. Only suggestion I would have is to replace the double beds with queen beds when they wear out. It can be tight for 2 people sharing a bed with a double.

We stayed at Colonial Motel for 2 nights. The room was very clean. We particularly appreciated a kitchenette equipped with a pot, frying pan, plates, cups, and utensils. A table with two chairs is very handy. The owner is very hospitable. The price is very reasonable for what you get.

What a great little find I came across. Minutes away from town, so many wineries in the area, and close to the Beachglass Inn where we were attending a wedding. Easy checkin with Lou; room was clean, updated, and a good size. Beds were very comfortable and having a kitchenette for sips and snacks was fantastic! Would stay here again and again.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
A family owned old-style motel, updated. You definitely feel that you are welcome and guests at a B&B. The unit has a kitchenette with the necessary supplies, WIFI, and door-front parking. Beds were comfortable and clean. The only real negative other than some issues with the room being dated, was a general feeling and smell of dampness (although it was summer and just off a lake), but the AC was efficient and minimized that.

A lovely family owns and runs this hotel. They are updating with new amenities. The only complaint is carpet squares left black fuzz on your feet however was easily removed with wash cloth. They were very accommodating with any needed supplies for the room. We rented the King Bedroom which had 5 foot frig and 2 burners and all kitchen supplies of bowls and plates and silverware. The bathroom was spotless and redone. Just bring slippers and all will be fine. We stayed 4 nights and it is in lovely area. Bring your bikes to ride around wine vineyards and Presque Island State Park is a 30 minute drive . We enjoyed visiting several wineries in the area as well. Thank you for a lovely visit!

I've honestly never been to a more cozy motel. The rooms were nice size, there was a cute kitchenette with everything you need provided including pots and pans and a fridge/freezer. The couple that owns it are friendly, kind, and very helpful. The room was cleaned than any more expensive hotel I've stayed at. Highly recommend. We would definitely stay here agay
