The Colonnade Inn

Staying in this historic inn was a real treat. The suite was beautifully decorated and we had a very wonderful stay. We were able to walk just a few blocks to most places. The staff was lovely, too. I can't wait to stay here again.

Amazing location, customer service, and great rooms! Loved everything about our stay from Lori's amazing guest service, to the rocking chairs on the front porch and the perfect location. Very accommodating, peaceful, and convenient. Will definitely recommend and stay again next year!

Dirty carpets everywhere. The room reportedly has a full kitchen, but there are no viable cooking utensils/pans. We've bought groceries we simply are unable cook. I suppose we'll buy a pan? The website says coffee is served in the morning. That's simply false.

My daughter was getting married in Sea Isle City, NJ the weekend of November 9, 2024. We wanted to get most of the bridesmaids and the bride's family to stay at the Colonnade Inn. What a great time we all had at the Colonnade. The rooms were very comfy and not stuffy like some "Victorians". The rooms were up-to-date and the staff was very warm and accommodating to our needs. I highly recommend the Colonnade if anyone is planning a wedding, family reunion or for any one that would like a nice get-away,

Have stayed here before and I plan to stay here again this summer! The hotel is so charming and has incredibly welcoming staff. Shoutout to Lori on the phone who was super helpful with my reservation.

We checked in on 6/29 for the week. I am not being critical, just informative.|The ladies that run the Inn are very nice and accommodating and let us park in the lot for a few days. (make sure you have reserved it) |My husband and I stayed on the 2nd floor. the stairs for us were narrow and a tad difficult to get up and down. (if you have bad knees, it's not fun). Our room was pretty although much smaller than we thought, no drawer space at all, so we had to live out of suitcases. |We checked out a day early, as parking in SIC is very difficult, we parked in the Library parking lot along with many other cars. Got a ticket for $45. |The weather was beautiful that week.

There is an Immaculate taxidermy Amazon parrot and canary by the front desk! Not the most important info for staying here, simply found it really cool.

Located in a prime position 2 blocks from the beach in Sea Isle city. It’s a few blocks off the main road and has a few places to dine within walking distance (mainly fast food locals). This inn dates back to the 1860’s and the interior is in great condition. The rooms are nice and depending on which one you get can be very spacious. Didn’t get to see the staff as we were off season visitors but they lady that did come in once a day was very pleasant. If you’re in the area looking for a hotel this is definitely one to consider.

I had a fantastic weekend stay at the Colonnade Inn. The location is perfect--the beach is a block away and there were plenty of restaurants and businesses within walking distance. Both the room and bathroom were very spacious. The bathroom had two sinks which was nice when getting ready. The room felt like it was thoroughly clean and smelled pleasant. The building itself was well-maintained and the Victorian aesthetic was preserved nicely. A small downside is that because of the building's age, noise cancelation is non-existent. We could clearly hear the people next door and directly above us. Overall, a great value.

The Colonnade Inn was very convenient in terms of location. It was only a few blocks from the town center. The Victorian home was also very cute on the outside (as well as inside). The woman at the front desk was very sweet, friendly, and helpful. My fiance and I stayed at the Brittany. This is the first room as soon as you come up the steps to the right. The room was a nice size, had a renovated bathroom, nice hardwood floors, and a beachy feel to it. Very nice! The rooms did not have much insulation (you could hear EVERYTHING throughout the Victorian house). You can hear the people talking next door or across the way, you can hear people going to the bathroom or washing their hands. I felt like my fiance and I had to whisper just to talk to each other. One minor complaint I have is that there is no phone in the room, and therefore, if I have a complaint, there really is no one to address it to. For example, the Inn enforces "quiet hours", however, the only people downstairs at night is security. The drunk people across the way were being so loud and stumbling around at 3:00 AM and I did not know if Security was the one who handled it or not. Then, around 6:30 AM, a little child is SCREAMING to their parents at the landing of the steps (WHICH, AGAIN, MIND YOU, IS RIGHT OUTSIDE OUR ROOM). The children upstairs were also running BACK AND FORTH, BACK AND FORTH for MANY hours of the day and night. It was annoying and kept me up. The blinds in the bathroom were broken in some pieces, and other parts had tape holding it together. As well as tiny stains in the bathtub. All in all, the cosmetics of the Inn don't bother me (they were not significant enough to give me a negative experience), but the CLIENTELE did give me a more negative experience. I think the Inn needs to sound proof the rooms somehow so that way, it won't be as loud. Or STRICTLY enforce quiet hours for not only drunk people, but people with children as well.

Rude condescending unaccountable front desk manager Room was hot No AC Dirty towel in bathroom Asked for a new room Shows me 2 rooms that are ill equipped for my stay with my adult son besides being in inviting Then offers me a 50 refund when I requested she comp my stay. She also admitted she has free reign to make these decisions on her own, what a moron!!! Proven liar also as she initially said she had no other rooms available and then proceeded to show me two other available rooms. Totally classless person with poor customer service skills and proven liar. No worries!! Charge will be disputed. PS keep the 50 bucks you will need soon for the bus Score ZERO Signed. FRONTLINE HEALTHCARE HERO!!!!

Incredibly nice staff and beautiful room! I booked one of the 3 BR condos for my birthday trip to Sea Isle with a group of friends. I didn't expect the condo to be so spacious or so nice! The inn is a large old Victorian house, which can often mean small rooms. And some of condos are individually owned... I don't know about you, but I don't always appreciate some people's taste in "shore decor"; Fish couches and starfish chandeliers don't exactly wow me. But this place was very tastefully decorated and looked almost brand new. And it was HUGE... we had the entire fourth floor to ourselves! 3 good sized bedrooms, 2 large bathrooms, living room with 2 large couches, kitchen and dining area. Windows everywhere made the whole place sunny. All of the staff I encountered and talked to on the phone were super friendly. The room came with beach tags, and we allowed to keep them for the day when we checked out and return them when we were done at the beach. They also let us keep our car parked there for the day after we checked out since no one else was coming into that room that night. The inn has a lovely wraparound porch with white wicker chairs to lounge on. It also has outdoor showers for hosing off after the beach. For the price ($300 a night in June for the 3 BR condo, 2 night minimum) I couldn't ask for more. The friendly staff and Victorian house gave it a Bed and Breakfast type feel, but our condo was huge and modern looking. I can't vouch for the other rooms, but the 4th floor condo is amazing! I'd love to book it again. Note; The prices and minimum lengths of stay vary among the rooms and time of year, so call for availability. I called less than a month in advance for a weekend in June, and was able to book it with no problem.

No clue what has taken me so long to review this place... It's an annual tradition to stay here for my birthday weekend and every time it's awesome. The manager (maybe also the owner) is always a sweetheart, and the rates are VERY reasonable. The rooms (more like condos) are great for a weekend or week stay. We had a 3 bedroom place with a full kitchen and washer/dryer, with a private entrance. It was awesome. I highly recommend this place for your next beach getaway (just not my birthday weekend ;) )

Every summer for the past few years, we've been getting a suite here in Sea Isle. The staff is always accommodating with our large group. The rooms are always super clean and huge. Last year, we had a place on the third floor and the beds were so comfortable and plush. This year, we stayed on the first floor and the beds were uncomfortable and stiff. I'm not sure if they bought new mattresses and went with a cheaper quality or we just happened to get the one suite with lower quality mattresses. I don't think the mattresses will keep us from coming back again next year, though.

Love this place. We won a weekend stay at a local benefit and decided to use it during the off season in the Fall. We had the whole hotel to ourselves. The unit was clean, bright, modern, comfy, and very homey feeling. Have a fee drinks at the local bars at night (and maybe lunch), breakfast at Mrs. Brizzles in the morning. I highly recommend this place for a nice get away, our unit had two bedroom. If you do stay, look for two little ghost girls like "The Shining", Just kidding, but the Colonnade Inn is old and it has that cool, eerie feeling as you walk up the steps and look down the long pattern carpeted hallway. OOOhhhhhhhhh

Unfortunately, my group was unable to stay at the Colonnade Inn because of the COVID pandemic. However, I wanted to write this review because they were very accommodating when we had to cancel. I will definitely be booking when we can get ourselves down to SIC! Thankful for businesses like these during this time!

The room fee was high and parking was not included. The room was quiet and featured a large bathroom, tv, fridge and microwave. However the bed and linens werent great. There is no daily room service. The hotel id a 1800 Victorian conversion that has a wrap around porch. It is located in a residential area and convenient walk to some great food places and center of town.

I have so many nice things to say about the Colonnade! Where do I begin? I just had a baby, and my mom has been helping me a ton. She loves running on the beach so I decided to book her a room at the Colonnade to thank her for all the help! Toni, the manager of the Inn, made everything so easy. First of all, I asked if any of the rooms had an ocean view, and she told me no, but then proceeded to tell me what hotels I could go to in Avalon and elsewhere to book a room with that view! I was surprised at how honest and thoughtful she was, likely sending me to a competitor, and decided to give them my business no matter if they had ocean view rooms or not. Then, I accidentally booked a room for the wrong day, but she easily corrected my mistake and then never charged me the upgrade fee for the different room! Then, I asked if it might be possible to put a bottle of champagne in my mom's room, and she went to the liquor store for me and put a beautiful bow on the champagne and everything. It looked perfect! My mom was so happy and surprised. I will be staying here for all my visits to SIC to support this wonderful business!

I highly recommend this place for as long as you can bear to be away from your regular life. The front desk is always friendly and accommodating, the rooms are large and cozy, and it's crazy close to the beach. Make this your go-to in Sea Isle!

There are pros and cons to everywhere you stay. I may stay here again if we come back. I will start with the positive: this is in a very convenient location as it is on Landis. The rooms are all unique and different. You will also get the amenities that you need. They are very nice and friendly. It is also clean (which when you do a shore house you may not have). The cons: I feel that it is overpriced - in October we paid $150 a night. We had a kitchen in our unit but most of the cabinets were zip-tied shut. There was a sign to wash what we used. For $150 a night; in my opinion housekeeping should take care of that. There is no coffee in the room (but there is a coffee pot??), there is no ice machine or any sort of vending machine or even some snacks behind the counter. We are not your typical Jersey Shore visitors in that we flew in. Had we driven in some of these may not have been as negative as we would have just packed it as long as we knew ahead of time. Again, they were nice, it was clean and it served its purpose.

I cannot say enough good things about my stay here. It was only for one night but my five stars were earned. I arrived tired and frazzled from an extremely long commute looking like a wind blown hot mess I'm sure. Laurie was soooo nice. She welcomed us with a warm smile and pleasant greeting and gave us our keys and the run down of the inn. Our room was nice and cozy, tastefully decorated, and the bathroom spacious. The room was equipped with an iron, mini ironing board and hair dryer. Two windows allowed plenty of light. It was perfect for our one night needs. The next morning I awoke to the smell of fresh brewed coffee coming from the reception area below. I enjoyed two cups and a wonderful chat with Laurie while letting my son sleep in. We were in town because my son was in a friends wedding and she was kind enough to give us an extended check out time, which allowed me to get my son to the pre-wedding photo shoot and come back to get ready for the day. She went above and beyond in her thoughtfulness and I cannot thank her enough. She made my weekend feel less hectic and I will definitely be visiting the Colonnade Inn again.

$$$$$ is more like it! $700+ for a 2 bedroom room with kitchenette and living area on second floor. My brother and his son checked in first- no problems. My husband and I arrived by bicycle a few hours later. We had ridden from Georgetown, DE to here (about 50 miles) and arrived tired and gritty. Front staff were rude/condescending. Were not eager to help or direct us to room. Grudgingly gave us room number after asking several times if my brother was "really" expecting us. No keys.... No temperature control in room. 65 degrees...nephew and I froze all night! Other complaints already listed in other reviews, but, there IS an ice machine now in lobby. Comfortable, clean rooms but certainly not worth the cost in MHO.

Clean, beautiful, and unique place to stay in Sea Isle. Nothing else like it on the island. The staff was friendly and helpful and our room (the Wedgewood) was perfect. It was a deluxe (didn't have a kitchen but didn't need it as the restaurants are all within walking distance. We did have a fridge and a microwave .) Free coffee in the lobby every morning and an ice machine there as well. Do not hesitate to book here. Within walking distance to everything Sea Isle has to offer. I highly recommend this place.

The Colonnade Inn is a very unique property. I was told it was build in 1883 and was a Bed & Breakfast for many years until it became a Condotel. Not knowing what a Condotel was, it was explained that there are 19 units ranging from a Bedroom & Bathroom, up to 3 Bedrooms and 2 Bathroom Condo's, each individually owned. So it is 19 condo's but ran like a hotel. Very unique concept. The Staff were great and the Bedroom/Bathroom we stayed in, (The Wedgewood), was extremely nice and updated. It looks like a unit in a high end hotel. We sat on the Wrap around Porch and enjoyed the smell of the ocean, and the vacationers wandering by. We were walking distance to everything. We never had to drive. And the Beach is only a Block and a half, (short blocks), to the beach. The restaurants recommended were incredible, and the overall stay was great. I would highly recommend The Colonnade Inn to anyone who wants to stay in a great beach City, and wants some uniqueness to their visit.

There are several issues: cleanliness, comfort of room, noise and housekeeping service. We stayed in the Versailles Room. The Inn's carpet is dirty and stained: the handrail is sticky; and it has a mold odor. Our room had a King size bed that was oversized for the space. One side abutted the wall so you have to crawl on the bed to get in. The other side has a small night stand and only a slim person can get into bed from that side. There is no full length mirror. There is a small mirror over the bathroom vanity. This room would not be suitable for a bridal party or other event requiring a mirror for dressing. In fact, it is unacceptable for anyone dressing. The towels are very worn. They are thin and look like they are very old and well-used. There is considerable noise from the room on the floor above and from the rooms on each side. You can understand the conversations from the neighboring rooms. There is also some street noise. The website indicates there is daily maid service. This is misleading. The bed is made (poorly) each day. The decorative pillows are not put back on the bed. Unless you state otherwise, the sheets are not changed daily; towels must be placed on the floor if you want them changed each day; the vinyl floor is not swept or mopped daily (lots of dust under the bed, and it appears that area has not been swept for weeks; The bathroom is not cleaned daily(that includes shower, sink and commode). The light bulb burned out in the bathroom, and despite leaving the bulb and a note for housekeeping, the bulb remained unchanged for our entire 5-day stay. None of these services (or lack thereof) is mentioned on their website or on a room card. There is no elevator in the Inn. This is also not mentioned in their literature. These inconveniences made our stay unpleasant.

I will say it's more of a 3 1/2. Its pretty, clean, and staff is friendly. But cons, no ice buckets or machine. We were staying there for a wedding. The Boo and I had a couple bottles of Champagne, We had a mini fridge, but you need ice for Champs! Also, there was no in room coffee and only had coffee in the lobby on Sat morning. We stayed Thurs-Fri night. So, we had to venture out to get coffee. Its pretty important for those of us who cannot hold a thought until the first drop of caffeine hits our veins. Ive never stayed in a hotel that didnt have coffee in the room. Even off-season, this place is a little on the steep side. The amenities just didn't match the decor. Even the toiletries were on the cheap side. No vending machines to grab a late night snacky. I know this may not mean much to most, but I stay in a lot of hotels, some fancy, some not so much. Either way, you should feel at home, or better. We didnt spend much time in the room, so it was pleasant enough. It served the purpose.

Nice place. Stayed in Rosing Park room. Biggest downside was noise from A/C units surrounding the sitting room and deck. Deck was great for star gazing. Too hot for sunbathing. Narrow stairs from lobby and no elevator. Great location.
