Colony Inn Review

This classic country inn occupies a restored teacher's dormitory from the New Deal Colony Project, right in the middle of Palmer. The rooms are attractively old-fashioned, although a little worn in spots, with rockers and comforters but also Jacuzzi bathtubs in most rooms and big TVs. A large sitting room and a dining room downstairs are decorated with historic photographs that help tell the building's story. Meals are served here during the summer at the Inn Cafe (tel. 907/746-6118): lunch Monday through Friday and a popular Sunday brunch. Guests check in at the comparatively down-scale Valley Hotel, at 606 S. Alaska St., and there often is no innkeeper on-site to let you in or help with problems.

Facilities:
Restaurant; coin-op laundry

About Our System

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.

Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.

The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
