Wonderful little place. Cross country road trip. Just a random stop really. Pictures looked nice, family was sick of the same old big boring hotels. Very nice rooms. Clean, quiet, cozy. Weren’t arriving until late night, the hotel staff was very accommodating and communicated well beforehand. All around great stay.
I love this place I go to upstate new York every summer we always come here it’s amazing perfect rooms perfect service the location is by the road but you can barely hear anything which I love it’s by an ice cream stand so 5 stars.
This place was amazing, very clean, had working heat, clean bathroom everything was great top to bottom. The people who work here were awesome and super nice and very helpful, I got stuck on the highway with a broken down car and this place is the only one that answered and took me in during a great time of need especially in freezing weather. This isn’t just some normal eh motel, great place, staff, couldn’t ask for anything more. 100% recommend please give these people more business.
Great little hotel. Comfortable bed, excellent service. Cindy was very polite and friendly. Made your feel like you were home. Very clean room, accommodation were excellent. Highly recommended toi anyone looking g for a great place to stay, with a small hometown feel.
Got stuck on the highway with a flat at 3am. This was the only place that answered us when we tried to find a place to stay. We got there, and we were checked in immediately. The beds were surprisingly comfortable, the heater got the room warm very quickly (in the middle of January), and check in/out was super simple and quick. The staff was incredibly friendly. If you need a place to stay in the area, they’re great!
Stayed 4 nights while my husband was hunting. Very happy with room. Comfortable, nice frig and microwave. Clean and beautiful view. I would highly recommend.
Some of our wedding guests stayed here this past weekend and only had nice things to say! It was a pleasure coordinating with Mike who made it easy to reserve a room block and was also accommodating when we needed to find space for a few last minute bookings. If you're planning an event in the area highly recommend Smith's Colonial.
Overnight stay on a solo motorcycle trip. I stayed in a lot of motels and this has to be about the best little motel I've slept in. Very safe, very clean, super comfy beds lots of pillows, hot water was really hot, location was nice and quiet, you can even see the beaver kill out the window of your room. I left some items in the refrigerator and Mike the owner offered to send them back to me, other places I stayed would have never said anything and just threw them out. I will definitely stay here again when I am in the area!
