The Hotel Colonial is an inexpensive hotel, for the price ranges between 55 and 75. Now, the front desk service is divided by those who are polite and efficient and those who are not. That is, The morning front desk person (a middle age man) was very polite and helpful, but when his shift is over--everyone else lacks the qualities the morning person, except one young man with eye glasses--who was very nice and even offered me a refund for leaving the hotel before my initial stay. Now, the worse thing that the hotel has is the room service, specifically a middle age lady that constantly knocks your door to disturb your sleep to offer you towels. If you wake up and leave the hotel for the day after 9:00 am she would not clean the room--she did this twice when I stood there, for I expressed grievance the next morning to front-desk. This lady made the whole stay at this hotel my worse experience ever--I mean, one of the day's during my stay--she even handed "clean" towels and told me that because the room seem to be clean, she didn't have to clean it, and complimenting me for being neat. beware of this lady

Nothing home to write about but has a bit of interesting history and is the most inexpensive hotel I found in Mayaguez. I traveled to my hometown of Mayaguez from New york. I went to serve as "Best Man" to friend who was getting married so I traveled alone. I would not recommend the place for families. Couples staying for a quick visit might find it quaint. Hotel is best suited for the individual traveler or couple on a tight budget. Private Parking is free but limited. It is possible you may need to park on the street depending the time you arrive. Restaurants in the area are scarce, particularly at night. Also, there is no pool.
That said, the hotel is very friendly, Clean and QUIET. Best value considering price and location. Few people know of the hotel even to those living in the town. Hotel is situated right by the heart of the city. Definitely, a good place to stay if on a budget. Not the 4 star resort one would expect; More like a motel. Would recommend to a friend or couple traveling on a tight budget.

Try for a couple of days before deciding on another location.
Chances are you will be satisfied and stay a bit longer.

This hotel is a block from the town square where events are frequent, but otherwise a bit out of the way and the area is pretty run-down. Room small but clean, and wi-fi good. Parking in a secure but small area behind the hotel. Decent continental breakfast and friendly and helpful desk attendants (with limited English)

American travelers will be turned off by the shabby decor and sparse offerings, but this is a very clean and safe hotel that has some nice features. The price is very good, and the hotel offers free onsite parking in a secured (locked) parking lot. If you look past the somewhat shabby dresser and bedspread in the room you will notice that the floor is a beautiful old tile that people now pay dearly for when renovating homes. Appreciate the architecture and the fact that it's not a sterile American-style hotel -- it is more reminiscent of what you find in Europe.

Our room (#19) was very small (a marvel of engineering in how they fit the double bed and dresser "just so") but had cable television and an updated bathroom. Seriously, if you are an obese person, you don't want this room.

The water pressure in the bathroom was excellent and there was plenty of hot water. We slept well and the hotel was quiet.

We passed on the free continental breakfast (travel packs of cereal) but there's a wonderful local bakery two blocks away (Ricomini Bakery) that we enjoyed. It also serves hot and cold sandwiches and other deli offerings.

There is free WifFi but it only works in the small eating area off the lobby.

Finally, the staff was very pleasant and wanted to help wherever possible.

While not luxurious, it was a fine place to stay for a couple of nights while touring the area.
