This is a spotless, ideally located Jersey shore (no frills) motel. Very helpful and charming manager allowed me to check in early on a steamy 100+ degree day. I met the housekeeper as she finished preparing the room for me and it was immaculate. Decor is Queen Anne and bathroom classic throwback to the 50s-60s (pink and gray tile). AC... More

My husband and I spent Labor Day Weekend in Stone Harbor at the Colonial Lodge. We enjoyed it very much. It's an older place...so don't look for brand new anything. However, it was clean and quaint and we loved it. It's close to the ocean and the shops. We look forward to returning for another visit in the Spring. Our... More

A/C was not cooling the room and had ice on the front of the unit. When reported, instead of replacing it with a new A/C as most places do, the manager told us to "use a knife and scrape off the ice". We asked for extra pillows and were told they did not have any. Eventually were given one pillow... More

This motel is nothing special. The rooms are small and the amenities are basic (small soaps/small cheap towels). The rooms were clean. The best thing going for this motel is the proximity to the beach and an easy walk to the main part of town. I would reccomend this motel for a few days, but it would be too claustrophic... More

The Colonial Lodge in Stone Harbor is the BEST!! The lodge is clean, near to the beach and afforable!! Another lodging option is the Risely Guest House located on First Avenue. This guest house room includes continential breakfast with lodging. Sit and relax on the porch as you enjoy your morning coffee

Just a short block to the beach. The property has an outdoor shower, clothes line, bike rack in a cozy surrounding. So this made our... More

Stayed at this motel on July 12, 2008. This lovely motel was one of the few that was flexible in its 2 to 3 day minimum stay rule and allowed us to stay just one night. We found others that would not allow it with large vacancy signs in front of their places, so the Colonial's flexibility was greatly appreciated.... More

What a wonderful surprise! We are so accustomed to staying at beach hotels that smell musty and are generally falling to pieces -- even the high end resorts tend to leave something to be desired. So although we read all the reviews of the Colonial Lodge, we weren't really expecting much. But it was just delightful! It turns out we... More

Stayed in the Colonial for one night, Aug 3, while visiting some friends in Avalon. Amazed by how nice it was. Usually Jersey Shore motels are ok, if not a little seedy. This one was super clean, had new bedding and furnishings and was really tastefully decorated. The Colonial theme carries over to the beautiful molding in the rooms, the... More
