Angela
The hotel was great by most accounts. However, apparently there was a leak when I bathed and it leaked downstairs. Our complaint was maintenance making repairs at 8am without any notice. We were literally in the bed when the whole floor started shaking and the loudness of the tools to go through the ceiling. I'm glad they were making repairs but having us move rooms BEFORE waking us up so abruptly would have been better.

Everything was great! The room was beautiful and clean. It was a lovely place to stay! If I had the chance I would do it all over again
Carol
I didn't bring my shampoo conditioner and toothbrush, I thought they'd be provided. Oh well, haven't stayed at a hotel in a while I didn't know to bring them
Steven
The room was clean, bed very comfortable and staff pleasant and helpful. The bathroom seemed somewhat dated with barn door style slider to close. No grab bars in the shower and no towel bars. The room had everything you need (microwave, small fridge) but no breakfast area for guests in the morning.

Well run property.

We would definitely recommend this hotel to anyone looking for a hotel in this area. The staff was very helpful. We really enjoyed the pool and hot tub. The beds were very comfortable. We did not eat in their restaurant but the 1761 Old Mill Inn is very close by and it is a must visit.
Zuly
Clean rooms, the restaurant has good food, and the outdoor seating area has good music and is clean

Nice place, bar & restaurant nice.
Shower accessory dispensers for the shampoo & conditioner did not pump despite being almost full.

We stayed at Colonial during a family visit and it was very peaceful. We enjoyed our stay and its convenience to local shops and food. We appreciated the professionalism and would stay there again in the future.

Gorgeous location and property. Had great amenities. Ate at the bar and grill nightly - very good food.

Beautiful accommodations.

Nice place to stay at. Wishing cofffee in lobby was gratuitous.
wallace
For people visiting in the Gardner area, the Colonial is the perfect location! The front desk staff are so welcoming and attentive.
Donna
The staff went above and beyond to be helpful. It is my favorite place to stay when in the area.
BRIGITTE
Although the property is older, it is kept very clean. All the bedding and mattresses seemed brand new and were very comfortable. The front desk staff and restaurant staff were very nice and the food was great! It has that small New England town feel and is very welcoming.

Staff at front desk were very friendly, professional and helpful during our stay!

One suggestion would be to have coffee and tea available in the lobby. Other than that it was a nice stay.
Melvin
The room was comfortable and the bed was excellent. Bathroom had a lack of counter space. There was a good bit of noise from people walking upstairs.
Karl
Everything was great (room, service, hospitality). Dinner in restaurant was excellent; very large servings so prepare to come with an appetite.

Great stay

Over priced for the accommodation
We stayed there because of a wedding, the ballroom next to us was so loud and noisy that we couldn’t hear the ceremony
That was really annoying

Quiet and calm great sleeping environment
Timothy
Well, it was horrible, and I will never go again. You got kids screaming through the hallways at night while I'm trying to sleep. Parking was horrible for a handicap veteran. there was only 4 handicapped spaces. I had to park at the furthest spot of the parking lot. Half your gym equipment is broken and needs to be replaced.

The room was very clean, linens pillows everything very sterilized. (I checked). Lobby clean, pool and hot tub amazing. We stay at least 2 times a year. Think about staying somewhere else but always come back. Oh and the food is really good

Great place to stay! Not much to do in the area but a nice hotel for a change.
Melinda
The entryway was beautiful the front desk staff were very professional and right there to help the minute I walked up. I was very impressed with the cleanliness of the rooms and the condition would definitely recommend and stay there again.
Jennifer
The on site restaurant and bar was very good.
Breakfast is only served on the weekends. Perhaps light continental and/or coffee in the lobby would be good to have and be included as complimentary.

A hidden gem! The check-in was quick, the room was clean & spacious, comfortable bed, the restaurant and bar were also perfect; located right on property and had delicious drinks, a large bar, friendly bartender and waitstaff, a breakfast buffet... just 20 minutes to Fitchburg State, less than 10 minutes to the 1761 Old Mill Restaurant which was beautiful, and minutes from Wachuset where we hiked.

A charming, classic hotel from another time. Beautifully maintained.
Kristen
The Colonial is not as advertised. It is outdated at best. After arriving to a 40 degree room, I attempted to turn on the heat and was hit with a cloud of dust. My allergies were immediately aggravated. The overall smell was a bit musty. The drapes did not shut all the way. There were sheers in the middle that don’t offer much privacy. We were made to pay for the entire stay up front - I now know why. We decided to leave and were told that they would not even refund the second night. The hotel was nowhere near full. So we didn’t even stay one hour and were charged for the whole weekend. I understand not refunding the first night but refusing to second night is bad business. I very respectfully requested the refund and the hotels response said that they placed me in a non- pet room per my request, attempting to create a story about my allergy complaint. I don't have pet allergies and never requested a non-pet room. Do better. Fair is fair.
Zakhar
Staying at colonial hotel inbetween our wachusetts runs never disappoints. With great food, cozy atmosphere and decor, gym, pull and arcade, what else can one traveling with kids can ask for!
David
Staff was good, room was ok. Restaurant had terrible service and hot tub was out of service. I was expecting a much better stay for almost $400 a night!
Cassandra
The rooms were as advertised online. The staff were helpful when I requested additional items to the room. The pool area was not great, had very limited seating, and unfortunately the hot tub was not working and no information was shared other than a sign at the pool area. The manager accepted our feedback about the hot tub and resolved this with the people in my group.
Shelby
Great location near Wachusett Mountain, which made it very convenient for a ski trip. The rooms were very nice and the beds were comfortable, which we appreciated after a long day on the mountain.
Unfortunately, we were extremely disappointed that the hot tub was not working and the pool was freezing cold. The main reason we booked this hotel was specifically for the pool and hot tub for our kids. We didn’t receive any email or heads-up from the hotel ahead of time that the hot tub was out of service, which resulted in some very upset children.
After swimming in the cold pool, we promised them a warm bath, but unfortunately the bath water came out brown, which was another frustrating issue.
The walls are also very thin. We could hear people running and walking above us late at night and early in the morning, which made it difficult to sleep.
We ended up eating dinner at the Colonial Grill. The food itself was good, but we were told the kitchen was backed up and expected a long wait. Ironically, the wait ended up being about an hour anyway, but after a full day of skiing it wasn’t really an option to pack the kids back into the car and go somewhere else.
On a positive note, we spoke with a manager about the issues with the pool and hot tub, and they gave us vouchers for breakfast the next morning, which was appreciated.

Room was large, clean; staff are always pleasant and helpful. I always enjoy my stay and take advantage of the pool and sauna.

This property needs a serious update. The property looks tired. Attempted to use the fitness room and it was dirty and much of the equipment was unusable. The pool and jacuzzi were closed and looked disgusting. The common areas and room felt unclean

The room was clean though a bit depressing. The curtains and carpet could use a refresher as could the paint in the hallways and in the room. The evening front desk clerk seemed a little scattered and he couldn't be bothered with client service. The morning staff was courteous and helpful.
Margarita
Extraordinarily unaccommodating with the reservation and working with Expedia to amend it. The front desk team ranged from polite to rude. Sadly I do not wish to give them my business again.
Peter

Gloria
I have stayed here before and it is a very nice place. Clean and nice amenities. No complaints there. However I was put it in a room where I was awakened early morning by LOUD pounding. I called the front desk and was informed that they were sheet rocking a room a few doors down for me. I asked why put us in a room if you’re having a renovations right next-door? The front desk person was rude and proceeded to say that she didn’t put us in thar room!! She offered to move us, but we only stayed one night. She did not offer anything, credit, something, even a genuine apology would have been nice! But she really didn’t seem to care. Could use some good old fashioned customer service training.
