Stayed in the Colonial for one night, Aug 3, while visiting some friends in Avalon. Amazed by how nice it was. Usually Jersey Shore motels are ok, if not a little seedy. This one was super clean, had new bedding and furnishings and was really tastefully decorated. The Colonial theme carries over to the beautiful molding in the rooms, the wallpaper and the pretty, old fashioned black hardware on the doors to the rooms. The outside has a really nice slate patio where I sat and enjoyed the flowers with my coffee in the morning. Other guests are really quiet, so its definately not a place to party, but you wont hear people all night either. The rooms/barthrooms are pretty tight, not a lot of space at all really, but its so clean and nice you wont care. Pricey on the weekends but during the week it was pretty reasonable and I'll definately be staying there again.
