Had a wonderful stay at the Grand Colonial. They were kind enough to change our room as well based on a personal request. The rooms were extremely spacious and neat. Service from staff was amazing as well. Wouldn’t hesitate to stay here again! Thank you!

Good location, a little old hotel. Not a full view of the ocean. A little away from the ocean. Small windows.
