Description:
Concord's Colonial Inn has a long and distinguished history and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The original structure was built in 1716, and the property been operating as a hotel since 1889. Situated on Concord's town common, now known as Monument Square, the Inn is surrounded by many landmarks of our nation's literary and revolutionary history. The interactive map of Concord will introduce you to some of the many attractions in the area.In 1775, one of the Inn's original buildings was used as a storehouse for arms and provisions. When the British came to seize and destroy the supplies, the Minutemen met them at the North Bridge on April 19th for what became the first battle of the American Revolution. The event is commemorated every April in Concord with a parade by the Colonial Inn and a ceremony at the North Bridge on Patriots Day.During the first half of the nineteenth century, parts of the Inn were used as a variety store, and it became a center of lively commerce in the town. The property was also used as a residence and in the early 1800s the Thoreau family moved in. Henry David Thoreau lived in what is now the Colonial Inn from 1835 to 1837 while he attended Harvard.Beginning in the mid 1800s, the building was used as a boarding house and then a small hotel, named the Thoreau House after Henry's aunts, the Thoreau Girls. By 1900, the property was given its current nameThe Colonial Inn.

The view was great and location to all attractions grand. No elevator. Hotel was great and got checked in early. Location was great for accessing attractions and the shops were great.

Concord's collonial Inn was fascinating and I spend a short but enjoyable break there. My comment would be that the service in the restaurant/bars was a bit slow and our food had to be sent back as it was cold but overall I would certainly return

Authentic colonial atmosphere, incredibly friendly staff, close to Boston and train. Older rooms and furniture though that's part of the colonial experience. One of the bars in the hotel was the original portion of the building built in 1716. Very cool. All staff are very friendly and helpful. Overall a very pleasant and unique experience kind of like an over sized bed & breakfast.

Charming, historic, and centrally located. In the heart of historic Concord with history abounding. It was pleasant and old-fashioned charm. The central location was great and easy access to other area destinations.

Cozy and comfortable. Very clean and in a great part of town. No room service and old fashioned. At first glance the hotel did not meet my expectations but I made the best of it! I am bit of a hotel snob and usually like to stay at modern and high end facilities. However, I would stay at this hotel again because it was so cozy and comfortable. The town of Concord is historic and the hotel just seemed to fit right in. I felt like I had traveled back in time and even though I was on a business trip I never felt more rested and level headed when I returned home. Sometimes it is good to try things out of your comfort zone---you never know how much you may like it and learn about yourself. I will be coming back to the Concord Inn with my family in th future.

The room was very clean. The restaurant was great, price and quality. Room furniture old (not antique old) and worn. Space around the door (you could see light in hallway). If you're looking for quaint, this is it. From wallpaper to pictures on hallway walls, there is a taste of Americana. The staff, especially during the day, is happy and helpful. Dinner in the restaurant is a delightful experience, from the tales the host tells to very tasty American style food. You don't need a car to get around town; the hotel is right in the middle of the town square.

Location. Participation by local music community in entertainment. Furniture looked as though it came from a garage sale. Not all rooms have baths. Incredible location, and only 1 competitor a couple of doors down. Right smack in the middle of very beautiful down town Concord. Lovely dining room, low ceilings, dark wood, not bad food, good service. Rooms unevenly decorated, and YOU ARE NOT GUARANTEED A BATH TUB, which might matter to soakers, such as myself.

Nothing. Size of room and bathroom. The room was incredibly small. The bed linens were not at all comfortable and actually scratchy. There was only 1 heat setting (hot) and one night during the week there was a band playing upstairs that could be heard through the entire hotel. If you are going to experience the historic area of Concord then this may be an ok hotel for you. I, personally, was not at all charmed as I was traveling on business and the internet didn't work for 2 days and then when it did it was slow. The rooms were hot, stuffy and very small. The shower was so tiny that I could barely fit and I'm 5'2 and petite. Overall, not at all satisfied with this hotel.

Nothing. My room was furnished with old beat up furniture, not antiques. It was VERY small with the TV sitting on a chair on the side of the bed. I was down the hall from the delivery door, it was very loud.

Wonderful history, great location, good public areas. The room was terrible. All was good in this Inn except for the room. It was very tiny, it was in the basement, the HVAC did not work properly, it was very noisy as it was in the basement right next to a busy road. Although the Inn was almost empty, the staff repeatedly refused to move us to another room. We endured three nights of hell.

Location and historicity. Cramped bathroom. Beautiful historic hotel, facilities limited by age but are more than compensated for by the location and historic Nature of the facility.

The food. Information needs updating, wall placards, room billfold etc. It was okay, was looking for a romantic weekend and it felt like we back to another time zone. All we needed was for a big black rotary dial telephone available only from the fron counter. The heating system seemed to be fixed on one setting and it didn't have any writing or markings on/around the adjustment knob. Food/restaurant was great!

Free internet. Shower stall was too small. 10 minutes off the highway- they boast a 300 year old building.

Charming older hotel in quaint community - great location. One room was noisy, the other was always cold. We were disappointed to be placed near the pub and its noise when there were other empty rooms farther away on the same floor. The second room needed a space heater at all times to keep the room warm enough for comfort. Overall, a wonderful hotel and location.

It has great lobby and overall look of the hotel. The rooms are not 3 star levels at all they are in the basement and are really tiny. If you like a hotel that has old world charm it is great, but the room are tiny and bathroom are so small that you would feel like a giant. Also my doors are thin or something you could hear everything from outside hall very annoying if you want a good night sleep.

January, 2007
Historical location- nice area for tourists and honeymooners. Hotel is a maze of doors, corridors, twists and turns. A little off the beaten track, unless looking for Lexington concord revolutionary history. Historical building, maybe quirky and romantic for some, but otherwise not enough parking, especially during restaurant hours; also interior is a maze of stairs (no elevators), twists and turns, and difficult access (went past laundry and trash areas coming and going, unless from front, where there is no parking). Rooms have strange angles, mysterious locked doors. Bedspread looked like my mothers 40 years ago - certainly historic old furniture, wood trim, heaters, etc.

December, 2006
Very friendly staff. Restaurant was very tight spaced, too close to other people's tables. No refrigerator in room.

This was a charming, historic hotel. The location was far from any supporting services. You will be roughing it here! This hotel is a historic hotel originally built in the 1700's. Certainly, a refreshing experience for someone who spends 3-4 nights in a hotel every week for business. It really is moa suited to a "weekend getaway" hotel than a mid-week staple, due to its rather remote location. Rooms were plain, but noisy. Bathrooms were way too small, with only a 4 square foot stall shower.
