Our 4th trip to Old Orchard, each time the family's a bit older. No big complaints about the Old Colonial. We've learned not to expect too much from beach-front hotels. Office staff friendly and responsive. Some problems with Wi-fi, but eventually OK. Hot tub and fitness room appreciated by our college-age kids. Parking OK. Room big enough for 5, generally... more

Pros-on the ocean w/ ocean view (in CERTAIN rooms) cons-when i called to book the woman i spoke to told me she "thought" that she could get me 10% off on the room...when i called back to book,and spoke to the same person, she informed me that she made a mistake. Ok-no biggie. We continued to make the reservation anyway.... more

I recently spent 3 days at this hotel with my wife and two kids and we had a very nice time. If anybody does a little research you'll know that OOB is a typical carnival type beach town with the hotels to match. I booked the Colonial knowing I wasn't going to be staying in Boca Raton. Sure the hotel... more

We paid $337 and expected to stay in a very nice room for that high price. The bedspreads were clean but just looked rather old. The pillows were very flat and not comfortable. The “kitchen”... more

We are booked for Sept 2006 which will be our 6th yr. We first tried The Old Colonial because it is on the water and pet friendly. Have always found the rooms to be clean and comfortable and have found the owners to be extremely friendly! We also tend to meet some of the same people there because they too... more

Just returned from a weekend at the Old Colonial. Despite the rainy weather Sat & Sun, we had a great time. The staff was very friendly and the room was nothing fancy, but it was clean and neat, although the bed could have been in better shape. Because we called at the last minute there were only a couple rooms... more

THe only good thing was the bathroom! The kitchennette unit was cramped. The extra bed was a mattress on the floor. Shades ripped. People constantly going past room. No place to store luggage. One rack against hal a wal for clothes hanging. But parking was the tightest ever experienced. Staff not friendly. View of ocean was negligible from first floor... more

After a flight from New York to Boston, my daughter and I unwound on a comfortable Amtrak train from Boston to Old Orchard Beach. We walked from the train station to our hotel, the Old Colonial, and couldn't have had a nicer experience there. Although it wasn't glitzy or fancy, the room was clean, the king-sized bed was very comfortable,... more
