Grande Colonial Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Very nice older hotel well maintained. We had a junior “suite”, a very spacious room, king bed, nice bathroom with a walk in shower as we had requested. A view of the ocean. Maids did a good job cleaning up every morning with fresh towels etc. None of this ‘we only clean every two days’ etc. like you hear at lesser places. The combined breakfast room, bar, restaurant was not an elegant area, but the service was excellent. Main sitting area was a beautiful room, not huge, but adequate. A small patio overlooking the pool was sometimes open for breakfast, others times not - confusing."
