A Place to Lay Your Head Down
Would I recommend this motel to others? Depends on what they were needing it for. It did what it was supposed to do .. provided me with a place to sleep one night. Overall condition was fair. It definitely could use some updating. That being said, the sheets were clean and there were no sign of bed bugs, so if you're just looking for a place to lay your head down, it should meet that need.

I reserved a room with a king sized bed but when i got there they tried giving me a room with 1 queen sized bed and not changed the price. They tried telling me i didnt order a king room, but my room price reflects that i did. They then gave us a room with 2 queen beds.

The room was very dirty. There were stains on everything. The shower had mold in the tile and on the curtain. And we woke up to a bug crawling on us in the middle of the night

Bug bites
Returned home after one night and immediately washed all clothes brought with us because I’m cover in over 20 bites and my spouse as well. I really hope we didn’t bring home fleas to our cats. I woke up in the middle of the night and felt itchy and ran to the bathroom to wash off my arm and the feeling went away. The sheets were stained and there was a pube in shower.

I found a dirty sock on the floor. This motel reminds me of some classical horror movie scenes: dingy, dark, dirty, and possibly some creepy alcoholic living next door.

Better Than First Impressions
The best thing about The Colonade was the room itself. It was quite spacious and clean. That contrasts with the rest of the building, which is older and is in need of a good cleaning. I would not be surprised if they lost customers who were turned off by the condition of the lobby. The room was much better than the lobby would lead one to believe. Its definitely a no-frills motel, but worth the price.

I reserved a non-smoker room and when I got there the attendant said I didn’t and when I took out my phone to show him that I had really actually reserved a non-smoker room he didn’t let me show him just said “ok I’ll give you a non smoking room” and when we went to our room it was still a smoker’s room.

The hotel was like a stereotypical crap motel. The front desk guy was laying on a couch near check in when we got there and stayed on his cell phone the whole time he checked us in. The door barely opened because the knob was so messed up it didn't turn fully and you had to hurl yourself into it just to get it to open..., the fridge was full of mold, the walls were paper thin and the other guests were screaming through the night. You have an actual key to get into your room, curtains full of holes, the list goes on. We stayed to go with the cheapest option when going to six flags. Next time, we'll pay the extra money. The good thing was the location and nearby stuff

ice maker did not work but owner gave ice out
I stayed at the Red Roof on Rt 1, actually less for full queen clearly a much better room. I would recommend the Red Roof, it is only 8 miles west; pet friendly and has been modernized. Red Roof has a small but nice table to work plus queen is extremely comfortable. plenty of sink space and racks up high. Wish they had Frig and microwave though. but they have working ice machine with Plenty of ice.

Mediocre
I reserved a queen size non smoking room and I got a room that smelt like people have smoked in it. Not to mention there was an ashtray on the table. The room/bathroom weren't necessarily dirty, but you could tell that they don't take pride in the condition of their rooms. Plus there were things that were broken like the bathroom faucet. For the price I paid, I was definitely not impressed.

It was in Princeton, cheap and I was exhausted.
This was like the "No-Tel Motel"! The soap was the smallest soap I ever saw. It smelled musty but opening the window let in the noise from the busy highway outside. Interesting that the clerk asked me to pay up front even though I was booked for 3 nights. I only stayed one night, guess that happens a lot.
