Our one night stay in the Colonial was great, took you back in time. The staff were so friendly, especially Paul (owner) who loves to tell the history of the jail and providing a tour. The breakfast in the courtyard was so delicious and quite filling! We will definitely stay there again. Thank you Paul and staff!
