Terrific Independent motel!

We stayed 3 nights in late July 2023. We had Suite A which is amazingly roomy, clean, and comfortable. Pretty good kitchen if you want to cook. Living area with sofa and recliner. 2 bedrooms and 1 and a half baths. Excellent value and owners are nice. Exemplery independent motel.

Second time staying here for family event. Was as quiet and comfortable as first time- not disappointed at all. Like the small kitchenette with good size refrigerator and freezer. only change i would recommend is their use of scented laundry detergent- sometimes can be over powering, especially for someone with scent-sensitivities.

I recently stayed at the Colonial Motel of North East, PA, and I was blown away by the incredible hospitality and kindness of the family who owns and operates it. After being caught in a long snow-related traffic jam, I arrived early Saturday morning feeling weary. The family went out of their way to accommodate me, helping me get into a room early and even offering food to make sure I was comfortable. Their genuine care and dedication to their guests truly stood out. The room was spotless, cozy, and exactly what I needed to recharge. It’s clear this family takes great pride in their business and treats their guests like extended family. If you’re ever in the area, I can’t recommend the Colonial Motel enough. A big thank you to the team for making my stay so memorable and showing what true hospitality is all about!

My favorite amenity was the leather recliner. I have never been in a hotel that had a real leather recliner. It was luxurious. I read all the other positive posts before my trip and was pleased to find all were true. I parked just feet from my door. I could not hear anything through the walls. Everything was brand new! I would definitely stay again and recommend to anyone else.

July Colonial Motel Stay.

I had planned a visit to the North East, PA area and on previous visits had stayed at a chain motel in the area. I found the Colonial Motel listed online and saw that it had very favorable reviews so I decided to try it and was glad that I did. The motel is a single floor motel in an L shaped configuration with exterior entrances to the rooms where you can park your vehicle directly outside your room door. Check-in was quick and friendly. The motel looks like it was built in the 1950's or 60's but my room (and perhaps other rooms as well) appear to have been thoroughly remodeled and the room was spotless in regard to cleanliness. My room also had a larger sized mini-fridge, microwave, toaster, and a two gas burner stovetop along with a sink. A full complement of utensils and pots and pans were in the drawers. Cable TV, wall unit A/C, and wireless Internet were included as well. The room seemed to be well isolated from outside noise as room was very quiet and the motel is located in a relatively quiet setting aside from some traffic from nearby Route 5. All in all, I was very pleased with my stay at The Colonial Motel and I will plan to stay here again on future visits.

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!

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.
