Top Colonial Lake Hotel Reviews

The Cooper

10/10 Excellent

"Amazing and definitely would stay again!! 5 star property!!"

The Meeting Street Inn

8/10 Good

"The location is excellent!!! We walked to everything on our 3 day stay, except Lewis bbq. The hotel is old, but updated. The room was clean and comfortable. The breakfast and cocktail hour were better than I expected and we enjoyed the courtyard for that. The staff was helpful and other customers were also friendly. points less favorable: there is a big construction project happening next door. It was not an issue for us(Oct 2026), but might be noisy when construction starts. the elevator nearest the lobby was out of service . Hopefully that’s resolved already."

"Location is convenient. 11 min ride to historic downtown, park in the streets for free. There is a Publix at a walking distance if needed. Not 5 stars because the room was shabby. Bathroom needs renovations. Hooks come off, there was not shampoo and body shower liquid in the jars built into the shower."
