The Colony Hotel

Amazing hotel, cozy, clean, in a perfect location.

Price is a little high for this kind of hotel.

Location and clean

Very small room breakfast on Saturday

Great location, clean, comfortable

The room was very nice, as was the staff. The breakfast was a nice buffet with a wide range of options to choose from. There are lots of nice restaurants nearby and you can easily find free parking within a block or two of the hotel.

Looking at reviews beforehand, we knew it might be a little noisy at night, but that aspect was worse than we anticipated. We were unlucky -- we happened to be there during a 4-day Arab holiday, which for some strange reason led some cars and motorcycles to parade up and down the main road in front of the hotel after about 10 pm, honking their horns, revving their engines, and playing their radios loudly. It quieted down somewhat after about 11 pm but continued until about midnight. With respect to the location, it is a short walk to the Baha'i garden as their site mentions, but that is at the bottom of the hill and the tours all start at the top of the hill. So, a nice view of the gardenn but figure on driving to the top of the hill or taking a taxi to the location on where the tour starts -- it is a very steep hill! Otherwise, the location is fine.
