We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Colonial Inn Motel ! We don't need a fancy facility with bells and whistles, just a place that's clean and meets our needs. Colonial does that and still adds more. There is a lot of character and memories through the years of its" older style. Yet it is kept clean and functional for families to continue to enjoy and make memories. It's a plus that it is right in the beach with a pier next to it as well. We will definitely return. Thanks Colonial Inn !

Not a bad stay. This is an older property but for the price and location, was a good stay. Our room was nice, we were comfortable and it served the purpose. My only disappointment was not being able to actually see the ocean in our “oceanfront” room because the dunes have gotten so high they block the view.

Overall this was a great place for what it was. For a great price I had a room that was comfortable and right on the water. The staff is extremely helpful and friendly so I never had to worry about anything. You are right in the middle.of Nag's Head so it doesn't take long to go anywhere. The only.negatives would be the size.of the bathroom, which honestly is fine for a motel it's not like I'm in their forever but the shower itself was right with mid water pressure. Also the in room coffee maker didn't work. I tried it once and then didn't really care I never even ordered coffee when out so it was more just a thing then a real issue. I would without a doubt stay here again.

It was nice that it was right on the ocean. people with pets should only be in a separate designated area. Dogs left in room alone next to ours barked nonstop, along with yelling and pounding noises of their owners caused us to leave a day sooner than planned and paid for.
