    The outdoor area was chill 😍. The large jug of ice water in my room was thoughtful. But, my room had NO privacy and it was super noisy! Felt like I was in the lobby all night.

    charming breakfast setting
    noisy room
    lack of amenities

    Charming outdoor breakfast setting enhances the experience.

    My room was directly opposite the lobby, lacking privacy and exposed to constant noise. Conversations and sounds from the lobby made it nearly impossible to sleep, and there was no effort from staff to address the situation despite my complaints. The amenities in the room were sparse, with no kettle or coffee maker, making my stay less comfortable.

    chilled water
    outdoor breakfast
    hardworking staff
    noisy room

    The young woman at the front desk provided a warm welcome, handing me a jug of chilled water since my room lacked a cup. The room size was decent and hot water was plentiful, which I appreciated. However, my room's location near the lobby was a nightmare for privacy. Sounds from the lobby and kitchen carried into my room, making it hard to sleep. I stayed up late due to conversations from guests in the lobby. Plus, the furnishings felt sparse with no kettle or coffee maker. I needed rest for a 6 am appointment the next day, but loud chatter disrupted my sleep. Requesting a room farther from the lobby might enhance the experience for future guests. The outdoor breakfast area was a bright spot, providing a lovely setting to enjoy meals. Staff were hardworking, especially the young lady managing the place, contributing positively to my stay.

    I had a lovely experience at Hotel Portal Colonial. The staff welcomed me warmly, providing a chilled jug of water upon arrival. The outdoor breakfast area was charming, and I especially enjoyed the variety in daily breakfast options, from delicious fruit to satisfying eggs.

    Room near lobby very noisy.

    thoughtful staff service
    noisy room near lobby

    Upon arrival, I was warmly welcomed by the staff, who provided a chilled jug of water, which was thoughtful since my room lacked a cup. The room was generous in size and had consistently hot water, which was appreciated. The location is quite convenient, within walking distance to various fast-food chains and a delicious Indian restaurant, making it easy to grab a bite without traveling far.

    However, being near the lobby resulted in significant noise, which impacted my sleep quality.

    Cozy Stay with Friendly Service

    The outdoor area provided a lovely space to enjoy breakfast, which included tasty eggs and fresh fruit daily. Interacting with the hardworking staff added a pleasant touch to my experience. Requesting a room further from the lobby can enhance privacy and reduce noise for a more restful stay.

    refreshingly cool pool
    hardworking staff
    room noise issue

    The outdoor breakfast area was a lovely spot to start the day, and the pool was refreshingly cool during the hot afternoons. The hardworking staff, especially the young lady managing everything, really contributed to a pleasant experience. Breakfast varied throughout the week, with delicious options like eggs, fruit, and pancakes.

    Room noise issue.

    charming spot
    comfortable accommodations
    secure parking

    We had a lovely stay at this charming spot with our three dogs. The location was convenient for accessing great shopping centers and casual dining within walking distance. The comfortable accommodations made it easy for our family to relax after a day exploring the area.

    My kids wished for more secure parking for our belongings.
