The Colony Hotel

The Colony has a special charm of an old hotel. Take the self guided tour around the property and think about what it was like 100 years ago for city folks vacationing in Maine.

What a beautiful hotel i mean you walk in the lobby and are greeted with the sight of the ocean. We stayed cove side all new amenities really nice cute little outside with 2 chairs. We loved it here and cant wait to return.

This place is an extreme mixed bag. The property is very nice. Historical hotel with lovely ocean views. The market/coffee shop is nice though a little sparsely stocked. That said, pretty on par for any hotel. That said, the service is wildly variable. Front desk was super rude when we called to have housekeeping come (they skipped our room two days in a row). But other times, front desk staff was very nice. Depends on who you get I guess which is not great. WiFi in the newer building is horrendous. Not an issue for entertainment purposes but if you have to work on vacation, as many of us do, it’s absolutely awful. Drops every 5 minutes for about 5 minutes and is slow when it works. I alluded to the housekeeping. They appear to pick and choose which rooms they clean as they chose to skip ours twice leading to the less than pleasant interaction noted above. Servers at both the breakfast and Marine Room is equally hit or miss. But most meals you can count on something being missed or forgotten and servers returning to the table only sporadically. It really detracts from what could be a very lovely sea side escape. Overall I can’t say with any level of certainty that I would choose to stay here again. If we had a consistent level of friendly and attentive service as you would expect from any property of this my feelings would probably be different. But being made to feel like an inconvenience for requesting cream for your coffee, a refill for your sofa, clean towels for your room or even to get your check after a meal is not fun and detracts heavily from the experience one expects from a resort property.

Horrible experience, hotel needs renovations badly. There is no ac in the rooms and you can hear every noise. We will never be coming back and would advise others to avoid. The staff were horrible as well as the conditions. The pool says it’s heated but it was too cold to go in.

Precious family memories are made each year in this charming resort with a world class location. Friendly accommodating staff support a fun and festive stay to warm the heart and soul.

Stunning accomodations, friendly and responsive staff. This is an elegant New England hotel that is classically gorgeous, but comfortable and inviting. We will definitely return soon!
