Our company booked the downstairs area for a processional leadership retreat. The room was fine and set up well. Coffee station and fruit was served. Wifi is terrible and most of us could not connect. Lunch was upstairs in one of the side rooms. Very small room. The buffet was fine and chicken piccata was pot roast was served with instant mashed potatoes. Decent but not great. The inn was very busy with the restaurant and bar in full swing for breakfast and lunch. inside area is very tight and maze like. Pro: Charming and historic Inn and close to the National Park and North bridge which is a 10 minute walk. Cons: Small, crowded, and non working Wifi. read more

Impressive. Probably the oldest continuously operating restaurant and inn in North America. Within its walls, Thoreau, Emerson, and Alcott, debated arts and literature. The 13th Amendment to the constitution was born. Eleanor Roosevelt discussed universal human rights. And the place where the American wounded were brought after the battles in the first conflict with the Crown. An amazing place. Every floor board emanates history. I stayed there several years ago in my pre-Yelp days and I was impressed. We went there on a function last night after an entire day touring the Minuteman National Park. Dinner was outstanding and the hotel manager came over to give us a talk about the place and its role in history, including being the place where the American wounded were brought over following the skirmishes in the battle of Concord. We sat at the same bar where many of our Founding Fathers began their day with several shots of rum to warm themselves up. I think, however, that their tolerance for hard booze was much better than mine.... read more

Great meal. Nice prices. Great selection. It was late and the waitress was a bit pushy with us who arrived on time. But, she remained patient for the most part. But that's a funny thing to have to mention at all. Calm down and do the job you sign up for. Waiting on a bunch of indecisive needy customers isn't fun but, aren't you suppose to handle that? I didn't 100% enjoy the meal because of the "pressure", dinner shouldn't have drama attached to it. read more

Save your money and Go down the road to Sudbury's Wayside Inn. We went to the Colonial for lunch and it was very disappointing. First of all, the restaurant is packed, as in table to table with no privacy between diners. Screamed the more tables the more money we make. Utensils wrapped in basic paper napkins. The waitresses were attentive but that by itself doesn't make for an enjoyable meal. We ordered drinks. Five minutes later our lunch was delivered. So much for enjoying our drinks. The bread basket was nice but not notable. Some room temp corn bread and rolls made to look like biscuits. My husband got the chowder and fried scallops. He's kinder than I and labeled them OK but also not memorable. I ordered the yankee pot roast with mashed potatoes and butternut squash. What I got was 2 slices of tender but stringy beef covered in jarred gravy that was also poured over the potatoes and squash (really, gravy on squash?? and it was not butternut). When I think about Yankee pot roast I think of tender beef braised with veggies. This was more like a cheap cut of beef covered in your basic brown gravy. Despite a disappointing main we tried the Indian pudding dessert. While it had good flavor, the texture was off, leaning towards cake not pudding and the vanilla ice cream was just your basic supermarket vanilla. Clearly we won't be returning there. read more

The layout of this place is terrible. It's difficult to find the front desk, the restaurant, the parking lot, well essentially everything. They should have this place surveyed and place signs more strategically and well use larger signs. The room is completely different looking from the bathroom. The bathroom is modern and the room is well modernish with some tudorish charm. Need to do a better job bleaching your linens. Also one of my coworkers was placed in a room where another person was supposed to stay and they had him change rooms, eventhough the room he moved to was the same layout and he had already unpacked... Bad customer service I must say. Room 24 is the supposedly haunted room. read more

If you love chicken pot pie, this is a place you will love! Everything included in this order is well prepared and well matched. The crust is delicious, the vegetables are not overcooked and retain their distinct flavors, the amount of chicken is generous and cut in appropriate size pieces to enjoy with the succulent sauce, crust and vegetables. The plate also is graced with three well matched sides: a scoop of tasty butternut squash, wonderful mashed potatoes and a small side of fresh cranberry relish. They compliment each other and round out main entree, resulting in a very satisfying choice for an enjoyable meal. Capping off dinner with an expresso was perfect! The bar for a great chicken pot pie has just gone way up in my book! Thank you Colonial Inn kitchen! read more

I stayed here in mid Jan. of 2015 and had a wonderful time. I just wanted to escape the stress of the city (NYC) and this kind of hotel and small town locale was exactly what I needed. The town of Concord is wonderful and steeped in history. Just walk around and you will find something that fascinates you. The hotel itself was so charming. There was a bar and dining room - the food was mediocre but made better because I didn't have to trudge through the snow to be fed. This inn is in close proximity to attractions such as Walden Pond, Lexington and Salem. If you're not interested in these things then don't bother - you WILL be bored. Concord and the Concord Colonial Inn are where you can feel that you are a part of the history of revolutionary America. It's a beautiful place. read more

Concord's Colonial Inn - How can this be? This is the only photo I took of the hotel! - Hotels Near Me - Concord, Massachusetts

The hotel is very charming and service extremely friendly. We got upgraded to a suit, which was absolutely welcomed after a long flight. Room was clean and neat, bathroom had everything needed and bed was very comfortable. Breakfast was nothing to complain about either - there is a nice menu, however I personally prefer buffet. Lovely stay at very different and interesting hotel full of history-don't miss it, it is a charm! read more

I can only answer for the hotel stay. I didn't try any of the restaurants while I was here. I appreciated the charm of this hotel. I thought the room was cozy and the bed was very comfortable. The staff was also friendly. I enjoyed the area where this was located too. There was a very cute Main Street area with shopping and restaurants in walking distance of the hotel. I would stay here again. We were provided a WiFi password for the room at check-I'm. It did not work well at all. As a matter of fact, it kicked us off of the WiFi so many times and was so slow, I gave up. That would be my only complaint of this hotel. read more

We booked the Thoreau room for our Annual Holiday party. The process was easy. The food options were plentiful. They were accommodating for our guests with food allergies. The room was not comfortable for 20 people. Our party was broken into two tables. It was nearly impossible to mingle with people other than those who sat at your table. It was so hot that our ugly sweater theme became regrettable. But that is not the reason behind the two star review. We had a child with autism on our guest list. He was served the wrong food. Supposedly the waitress offered to make the correct meal although my guest/ the mother of this child said that did not happen. Even if it did happen, this child would not have been able to wait for a new meal while the rest of the guests ate their meals. We understand accidents happen, it's not that big of a deal. The child ate some French fries and a bite of the grilled cheese. We asked to have the meal comped. Since he ate some french fries this was denied. He "consumed the meal." It seemed like a simple request. Comp the uneaten kid's meal. We spent nearly $1700 on this 3 hour event and tipped extra to the waitstaff as they were very friendly. But knowing that the waitress lied about the "consumed" meal, it's a shame we gave her extra. In an attempt to collect the kids meal, they have now ensured we will never do business with this establishment again. Hope it was worth it. read more

For the last 8 months, my dance partner and I were on a quest to find the best Belgium waffle in the Boston area. 20 or so different restaurants, some very good candidates.

Sleepless in Concord... when checking in at The Colonial Inn, the front desk changed our room to an "upgrade" (room 16 ) ... BEWARE!! Large room/suite which included a big red EXIT Sign five feet from the bed. We had been traveling all day so we dropped our bags and headed out to dinner. Didn't notice it until we turned off the lights and were beamed in the face by the RED glow of the EXIT sign. In hindsight we should have immediately called the front desk for a room change. Unfortunately I didn't ( nor did I sleep). I explained the situation to the front desk in the morning and they simply said they would add my name to "the list" of past room 16 complaints! read more

My husband and I had dinner at the bar in the Forge Tavern last evening. Despite it being crowded for a Monday evening the service was pleasant and attentive (Shout out to Lawrence our bartender). The Salmon was fresh and cooked perfect. The portions were generous. Cozy and warm antique setting. We look forward to going back. read more

This review is for staying at the Inn. Besides the place being a bit of a maze to get around the overall experience was very good staying here. The rooms were large enough not to be claustrophobic and at least the section I was in seemed to be made out of concrete so no creaky floors to worry about for noise either. At the desk they give you free pass codes for the WiFi (and asked how many you need for each device needs one which was very nice). Parking in the back was a breeze and it is just a short walk to the main center of town with plenty of places to eat (including the Inn itself) without having to drive anywhere. Be aware that, at least for AT&T, cell service in the general area is terrible to nonexistent. read more

The staff here are over worked and it shows!! No one looked like they were happy to see us. The staff are indifferent (bordering on rude), the food is mediocre at best (unless you just arrived in a time machine from 1975) and the wait time for our mediocre breakfast was over 1 hour!! There's a reason locals don't go here! If you're from out of town, it's worth getting a drink here to appreciate the historic building (which I have to admit is very cool) but check out some of the other restaurants in town for breakfast, lunch & dinner. You're welcome!! read more

At the last minute, my wife and I changed our mind and chose to come here instead of another local spot. Within a few minutes of being seated, we were regretting that decision. The service was very slow. We were one of the servers only tables, yet waited for nearly 20 minutes before having our order taken or getting water. We actually talked about leaving, but it was late enough that we didn't want to chance not being able to walk to another decent place in time. My wife had the pot roast and I had the fish and chips. The pot roast was very well seasoned and tender. It was the bright spot of our experience. The fish and chips were bland and nearly tasteless. Even after loading up with some malt vinegar, I had to add tartar sauce just to have some flavor. I had hoped to at least have some more local beer, but that wasn't possible with the slow service and near lack of refill chances. It seems like this place is more built on its name, history, and location and not quality. read more

We were seated in the tavern. It was very dark and the table and chairs were rickety. The crab cakes were good. The pot roast was very dry. The bread basket had very stale rolls. Maybe it would have seemed more appetizing if we didn't feel like we were eating in an old cellar. read more

We had a delicious dinner and were able to linger and get caught up with old friends in a rusticly elegant ambiance. The crabmeat stuffed Cod on top of mashed potatoes was done perfectly. The prime rib was a generous portion and delicious. Thank you goes out to our patient and attentive waitress. read more

Looking for a convenient and mini "vaykay" for me and my one, Mo, I chose the Colonial Inn and was happy I did. It is an historic place and is located in the heart of the ever-mundane town of Concord. The hotel is old and creaky with much original wood and charm. It is teenie as people were smaller back in the 1700s and so, you may suddenly feel like Shaq walking around in this "smallified" building. It was pretty inexpensive and has two restaurants and two "bahs" -unfortunately, one of which had a lady singing... she was loud AF like it was an Iron Maiden show. Come on, cool it now. Turn it down! It totally blew the ambience and made me and Mo "Run to the Hills" (Iron Maiden reference). The room was nice and had a defunct fireplace and wainscoting and old paneling n' stuff. It had "free" Starbucks coffee in packets and a Mr. Coffee-like brewer. The mattress was decent, not the usual pulverized pancake like at a Motel 6. It really was charming and made you feel as though you went back in time to when life was good before Obama came along. The Inn is said to be haunted but the ghosts must have been on vaykay or something because all was calm. Also, of mention, was a nice old sitting room in the hotel with a real burning fireplace -quite unctuous indeed. The best part was the brunch. It was vast and mental with lots of everything from prime rib to lamb to lobster bisque to salmon and "beagles" and capers and cream cheese and waffles to flapjacks and sugar-laden goodies to cod with tomato sauce to chicken marsala to bacon and "snausages" to salads to fruits to chocoloate fondue to sundries and condiments and yada, yada, yada... too much to mention. Peep out this lovely hotel for a relaxing getaway in this beautiful New England setting, YELPers! read more

Concord's Colonial Inn - Hotels Near Me - Concord, Massachusetts

THE UP-SIDE: This place has a great look, feels authentic/historical, and seems to have a lot to offer. A place to stay, food, drink, entertainment. Having stayed for a week in Concord, I know that it can be difficult to find that sort of thing in the small downtown Concord area. For that reason, I've gotta give this place a couple of stars. THE DOWN-SIDE: Uh... It's difficult for me to knock this place because I love Concord, and I want to throw my support to any place that makes it more fun and easy to visit. That said, I felt like I was waging a war with myself to simply like the Colonial Inn. While it may offer rooms in the heart of the small, charming town, I didn't stay there - I had read too many reviews of the noise, etc. Hey, it's an old place. That's gonna happen. Nonetheless, when I travel, I gotta have quiet. I stayed nearby and attempted to visit the Colonial Inn to get a drink in one of their bars and hear some local live music. Mistake. First, they advertised that they opened an hour earlier than they actually did. When I showed up 45 minutes too early, they just shrugged it off. I stood there wondering what to do, and wondering what to say. Again, I like Concord and didn't wanna be a jerk. After not getting an offer of being seated or having dinner from the three employees standing in front of me, I finally asked if one of the other bars inside their inn was open. Good fortune smiled upon me - yes! The grumpy employee led me through a circuitous passage to end up at a bar with two - yes, two - seats at the bar, and a few small tables. It was bleak. I gave a sigh, kept it to myself - not my nature - and left. THE SUM-IT-UP: With so many quality, cute, cozy, and homey B&B's in the immediate area, I'd never stay here. It may be authentic, but it made me feel a lot worse for having walked in. read more

BEWARE OF THE RESTAURANT! The (very slow and inattentive) staff will overcharge you - the management doesn't care. The food is, at best, mediocre. Had dinner at the Colonial Inn because we had a Restaurant.com coupon, good for $25 off dinner (and which entitles the server to add a 17% gratuity). We gave the coupon to our server, Gabby, when she presented the bill. When Gabby came back with our receipt, we saw that she did NOT deduct $25 from the total, but DID add a 17% gratuity to the bill! This is obviously incorrect, and we pointed out the problem to her. Gabby then proceeded to argue with us, and insisting that she is entitled to charge us a 17% gratuity. We told her that we understood the gratuity piece, but repeated, several times, that she had not deducted the $25 from the bill. So the total, the gratuity and all the rest was not right. Eventually, Gabby agreed that she had not taken the $25 deduction and said she would correct our bill, and assured us there would be no further problem. But surprise, surprise, when we checked our credit card statement on-line, we noted a charge from the Colonial Inn in incorrect amount! We then contacted the Colonial Inn to have them correct the problem, and they have been unresponsive, unapologetic and completely unhelpful. We continue to deal with this issue days later and are still trying to have the erroneous charge removed. Avoid this place at ALL COSTS!!!!!!! They do not care about their customers and obviously do not care about repeat business. read more

One star for completely failing to even let me get into the door of their restaurant. I made a reservation for Easter Brunch at the Colonial Inn back on March 12th - made the reservation online, and got a confirmation email. Decided to call the restaurant the day before to confirm everything, because the restaurant is a little out of the way for us. So I call, and the woman tells me she can't find my name on the reservation list. So I say, I made the reservation online, and she says "we don't take reservations online for Easter Brunch." Really? Because you did when I, you know, made the reservation. She directs me to the website, and sure enough, the website now says "we don't take reservations online for Easter Brunch." Okay, back up the fun bus. I am not an idiot, and in fact, know how to operate a phone. Also a computer! I wouldn't make an online reservation to a restaurant that states, clearly, on their website, that they don't take reservations for a certain day. So I ask, "this message wasn't here when I made the reservation, when did you change the website?" And she couldn't tell me. That's okay, maybe I *really am* an idiot, and the message *really was* on their website. I'll use the Wayback Machine to check an archived version of the website. http://web.archive.org/web/20130311205415/http://www.concordscolonialinn.com/ Hmm, it does say "for reservations, call this number," but it definitely does not say "does not take reservations online." In the Year of Our Lord Two-Thousand and Thirteen, that does not lead me to believe I cannot make an online reservation when I'm technically capable of doing so. This is in stark comparison to the Google Cache version: http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:LbS23cHEFt8J:www.concordscolonialinn.com/+&cd=1&hl=en&ct=clnk&gl=us That does clearly say " ONLINE RESERVATIONS CANNOT BE ACCEPTED. PLEASE CALL DIRECTLY." So...you accepted my online reservation, decided not to tell me that you no longer took online reservations despite me giving you my contact information, changed your website after the fact, and told me that I didn't have a reservation when I called you? For a family brunch on Easter Sunday? They then proceeded to tell me I could "sit in the tavern" with my family if I wanted to, because they could "squeeze me in" and that it was "parting the red sea." So yeah, if I could, I wouldn't even give them a star. Because I didn't get any food. I used my amazing powers of my credit card Concierge service to get a last-minute reservation somewhere else. At least I had an excuse to use that. THAT'S ALL GO AWAY. read more

I've been a regular to this restaurant for several years. This year, the prices went up, the quality went down and the service got worse. I was very excited to go there today and regret to say the experience was very disappointing. There is a new chef, and the menu it's really lost it's New England theme. Now it has a hodge podge of recipes that range from $15-30 (and include no vegetables) and the only remaining traditional items are the pot roast and the chicken pot pie. My daughter had the pot pie, and it was pretty good. I had the pot roast and it wasn't like any pot roast I ever had. The meat certainly wasn't braised. It was dry and tough. The only vegetable as asparagus - which I enjoy, but it isn't pot roast! read more

Oh, how I wish I had read the other reviewers comment before making reservations. How disappointing. I ordered the Land and Sea and my husband ordered the Grilled Rib Eye Steak. My grilled lobster was 'burnt'.......yes burnt! I also did not get the brussel sprouts I ordered. The server took the whole order back and said she would bring me another. 15-20 minutes later......out came my dinner. The lobster (which I previously ordered sans the butter sauce) was covered in butter sauce. I cut into my (which should have been) a medium rare steak......but it was well done. My husbands steak was fatty and very chewy. The manager came over to apologize to me and noticed my husbands barely touched steak. He asked if it was alright to which my husband replied, no. Both orders were taken back. We never reordered. I am rating this with one-star because the holiday decorations were beautiful. The restaurant get no stars. read more

This hotel needs to have a professional service come out and set up a minimum of four protected wifi networks to support each restaurant and their hotel guests robustly. Concord is becoming a small tech hub outside of Boston, and this is something people expect to be included in their business travel: reliable, fast wifi. At the prices they charge their wifi should at least be more reliable than the Best Western they compete with (it is not). I've never heard a hotel staff as on the verge of tears as the front desk staff was while fielding calls from the business travelers during the week and having to tell them that the restaurants have to close before they can do anything to stabilize the service. Unacceptable (and not fair to your staff or your guests). Estimated cost of missing deadlines during my several stays here due to this issue: well over $5K in lost man hours and business (not to mention the physical cost of lack of sleep, having to stay up until 2 AM working because of the prioritization of the food service). I can deal with hard beds (like, weirdly hard - not my preference but perhaps people like it), minuscule showers in one wing and minuscule rooms in another, listening to the band thunder through several sets from a full floor up, three "separate restaurants" that all serve the same menu (we're quirky!), limited parking (in the whole town, not just the hotel), no cell tower nearby, a room ocasionally filled with diesel fuel from the delivery trucks idling by the windows at 5 AM and other adventures, but the wifi situation really gets to me. On the other hand, all of the hotel staff I've encountered have been pleasant, even in the face of angry hotel guests, and the food and wine are good, if bizarrely the same. The fact that the hotel is a bit of a maze is kind of interesting, and if you get done with your work in time to explore the town before it closes the little shops are quite charming. I vacillated on giving this review, as I will likely stay there again given the limited options. I'd love to see the positives accentuated and the wifi fixed so I can come back and improve or update my review. read more

I made a reservation in early August to stay at this hotel for one night with my wife on September 30th. We were visiting family in the area during a 9-night New England vacation that would take us from Boston to Vermont to Connecticut. Being from Florida, but originally from Sudbury, we scheduled a stay at this hotel because of its colonial ambiance and proximity to downtown Concord. Needless to say we were extremely disappointed when we showed up at the hotel at 3pm on the afternoon of 9/30 only to be informed they had guests that extended their stays which meant my wife and I would be relocated to the Aloft Lexington hotel. We were reimbursed our night's stay at this hotel and our stay at the Aloft was complimentary, which we appreciated the gesture, but to stay in a chic business-like hotel right next to I-95 was not ideal for our vacation. I do not understand how or why our stay was predetermined to be discarded when a reservation was in place at least 45 days in advance. We located this hotel on Priceline and paid the advertised rate. Our reservation should have been honored and a guest who attempted to extend their stay should have been advised the hotel was at capacity due to existing reservations. I strongly urge you to proceed with caution if you believe a reservation would guarantee your stay at this hotel. read more

While there wasn't much hot water in the shower the room was still very nice and much to our liking, as fans of little women it was cute seeing they had a dining room named after the author. The dining experience was just out of this world, everyone in the whole building was just so accommodating and kind. Best waiter I've had in a long long time, super attentive yet casual and not over bearing. The food was very delicious ate here both nights we were in the area (kind of because it was the only place open) but also because it was great. read more

I had the pleasure of stoppin' in at The Concord Inn on a few occasions now ... once for one of my best friend's weddings, a great venue for his reception ... everyone had a fantastic time, perfect ... another few times I met up with coworkers to have drinks and talk shop ... there was an open mike goin' on in the background, a bit loud for our purposes on that evening, but still ... a fantastic spot to convene and have a few cocktails, just mysterious enough, too, to feel alone in the crowd ( so to speak ) ... Many years ago I had also stopped into The Concord Inn to see my good friend Marcel Kopp perform a smattering of his internationally renowned poems. I have many incredible memories surrounding this particular performance, many of which bring back happy nostalgic feelings the might have nothing to do whatsoever with food, drink, the restaurant industry or customer service. I guess I would say The Concord Inn gives off the impression of being timeless, historical yet earthy, a great place for real people to get together. You know? No phonies, as Holden Caufield might have emblazoned on a Cafe Press bumper sticker if he were alive and real, not merely a character in a book. No phonies, aight? ;] read more

Seven of us went to the Colonial Inn last night. In a nutshell, I would say that the service was poor, the food wasn't good, and the price was high. If possible, eat somewhere else. A few specifics: two people ordered rare steak and received well-done steak at a price of $40 / person. One person ordered scallops and received their dinner 15 minutes after everybody else because they had dropped the plate and had to remake it. One person ordered arugula salad with chicken and received a piece of chicken that was close to being jerky. The food was absolutely not worth the price. read more

We got caught in a bad snowstorm coming from Cambridge trying to get home to the Western part of MA. Realizing that it the roads were only getting more treacherous, we googled nearby hotels and the GPS sent us to the Concord Inn. What started out as a horrible day turned into a wonderful, magical overnight. The receptionist not only gave us a room, but she discounted our fee due to the weather. We were able to walk around the town in the snow and had a wonderful dinner in the tavern. The room was old but that was part of the charm. It faced Main Street so we were able to watch the snow fall over the green. It was a great evening and we were so thankful that they could accommodate us on a moment's notice! read more

I have to preface this by saying I've never actually stayed overnight here. However, as chairperson of my company's holiday party committee, I can tell you that we visited several function halls in the area and we were completely bowled over by the Colonial Inn. My first impression was a good one, with fresh flowers filling up the lobby. The rooms in the older section of the Inn are cute and quaint with a historical feel. The rooms in the newer section (built in the 70s, I believe) are not as fancy but still clean and comfortable. You have to remember this place is an "Inn," not a hotel per se. Their functions coordinator is a lovely lady who would do anything to make sure the party goes right. When we toured the room she originally had in mind for us (down in the basement, under the tavern), we found it to be too small and dark for our tastes, so she ended up pulling a couple of strings and getting us the main dining room on the first floor! We had lunch there that day and the food was very good, certainly better than the other places that we visited - and they even gave us little cornbreads to take home. One of my colleagues was so impressed during the tour that she decided to hold her wedding and reception there this fall! I am looking forward to the holiday party, and know my coworkers will really enjoy having the party at such a classy place. read more

If I could give a more negative number of stars, I would. I was hoping for a lovely experience of Afternoon Tea with my family. We had reservations for the 3 o'clock Saturday Tea. We arrived early and was told it would be about 10 minutes, putting us past our reservation. At 3:20, we were seated. There was one other party there for tea. Why the wait? The waitress sat us down. 10 minutes later, she appeared with the tea selection menu. We ordered our teas. Nowhere on the table was there a menu for that day's food selection. She brings our tea in pots and outs them on the table. We pour ourselves our tea in these porcelain pots that leaked onto the tablecloth. Some of the spouts were chipped. One pot was a Christmas theme. Food arrives in 3 tier tea service. She places them on the floor while making room on the table. Who does that? The baked goods were dry. The lemon curd delicious and compensated for the dry food. One of our party asked for non dairy creamer and was told that there wasn't any. Hard to believe. Overall, the company was excellent and the tea an experience that bonds us as a shared horrible event. The next time we want an afternoon tea, we'll do it ourselves. It won't be pampering but it will be done right! read more
