I have used the Colgate Inn for a professional meeting, and it consistently exceeds expectations. The staff was friendly and highly professional. They catered to all our needs efficiently and made sure that our meeting proceeded without any hitches. The environment was conducive for our discussions, and the facilities were top-notch. The food served was delicious and the service impeccable. I would highly recommend the Colgate Inn for all your personal and professional needs.

We stayed at the Colgate Inn for a recent visit to see our daughter . The rooms were clean and modern , the Hotel food was excellent and the Bar Hospitality superb lead by Bartender Shannon who couldn't be nicer or do more for everyone . We had a dinner event downstairs in the Lobby Room and it was done to perfection lead by Event Planner extraordinaire Emily Barnes and all the staff was great ! Highly recommend. !

The Inn and Tavern is consistently a wonderful experience. I have been staying here at the Colgate Inn every 3-4 months for business for the past 4 years and will continue to do so. The Tavern and Bar is also amazing. The staff always goes above and beyond.

College tour of Colgate, after a very long, 4 Hour Dr. we arrived we were greeted nicely at the front desk however, the second we settled in our very dated room and small room. The toilet was ready to overflow. It did not flush there were people running up and down the hallway all night screaming the heat was set to 75 we couldn’t turn it off or down. It was like a sauna in our room. We did not sleep all night because of these things they charge $500 a night which is ridiculous

We spent a Saturday night overnight after a large dinner with many friends. The food and service were dramatically better than one might expect from a village inn. Our room was quiet, comfortable and newly refinished with lots of closet space to hang clothes and luggage racks for suitcases. Breakfast Sunday morning was a complimentary do it yourself table with good hot coffee, tea or cocoa and an assortment of sandwiches and muffins.

We had Kayleigh as our server. She was extremely friendly, funny and had great candor. I bought the special due to her. She was very attentive and we look forward returning. The food was great, I had the Gnocchi special. Cheers to the chef!

My husband and I stayed at Colgate Inn while visiting our son at Colgate University. Our stay last weekend was nothing short of excellent, with wonderful hospitality from the time we checked in, where we were greeted with a complimentary glass of wine! The hotel and restaurant management and staff went out of their way to make sure we had a great stay. The ambiance is so warming. You literally feel like you’ve walked into a Hallmark movie, with the complimentary apple cider, and hot cocoa (during the holidays). They really make you feel at home, away from home. Great food and great service!

Beautiful Inn, lovely staff, and delicious dinner! The lobby and our room were so tastefully decorated, and extremely comfortable. The staff was beyond helpful. It is in the very center of the village, and a 10 minute walk to the university. We will be staying here the next time we visit Colgate!
