Positive: The inn had a nice homey feel as though we were staying with family in their home. The room was completely adequate with everything we needed to make our stay comfortable.
Negative: There is a contactless check in process that totally did not work for us. We arrived about 3:10 after receiving a text saying we could check in. The text included our room number and a code to unlock the door. We could see through a door that was slightly ajar that our room was not ready. I texted the number we’d been given if we needed assistance. No reply. We sat in an area between the creamery and the inn for an hour before a very helpful man who was operating the wood fired pizza truck in the parking lot passed through several times and saw us waiting. Finally he asked us what we were waiting for and we explained. After more waiting he came back and said someone would come speak to us in a few minutes. Long story but we were finally able to get into a room (not the original room) around 4:30. The very kind man offered us free ice cream which we declined and then offered us a free pizza which accepted. If not for that man who knows how we would have gotten our room.
Summary: Colonial Inn and Creamery is a very nice place though the contactless check in needs revision.

Negative: The property description described as a suite was not, in fact, a suite. They used space heaters that were very hard to regulate the temperature of the room. Room was dusty and dingy, as they chose white bed linens for low platform beds. Also the creamery was closed because of the time of year! The whole town was basically closed which is something they should at least warn you about when traveling there during the winter.
Summary: Know before you go!
