  • The Grande Colonial is a magical place and a welcome retreat from the hustle and bustle of everyday living. The staff are courteous, prompt and accommodating. We stayed in the Grande Queen/Queen suite and found it spacious and very comfortable. We slept well and the shower and bathroom were very nice. The holiday decor throughout the hotel added to the loveliness. It was a treat to sit fireside by the tree! We have been guests 3 times and can’t wait to plan our 4th stay. What a wonderful hotel!
