I love this place! I've stayed here twice to break up a long trip. It's the perfect place to relax. It's not within walking distance of anything, but you don't need to leave the hotel - the bar and restaurant in the hotel are perfect. I highly recommend this place.

I booked because they have sauna however the Sauna wasn’t working but they only said it when I didn't say anything about. I had to stay there anyway. Next time post it then I can make a decision where I would stay for my whole weekend.

We were so impressed by the Colonial. The staff was so friendly and the rooms and facilitiies immaculate. We enjoyed the pool and hot tub area very much. The bar and lounge was a great way to end the day, and the breakfast was delicious. We will be back!
