We loved staying here! It was nice to break away from the chain hotels, and Colony House was so pretty--retro, but modern. Our room was so clean, and the bed was very comfortable. The area is convenient, too.

Renovation is a super success

The renovation created a really cool art deco vibe that is uncommon for motels. Super, super clean and it was very convenient to parts of Roanoke that we needed to see. I'd 100% stay here again.

This hotel was absolutely fabulous! It was a perfect stop en route to the mountains in NC and the design is impeccable! They really nailed the mid-century modern roadside motel motif -it was perfect and functional without being overdone. It was perfect for a roadtrip getting to pull up to our room to unload. The staff was very accommodating for our pets as well. We will absolutely stay again.

This was the COOLEST stay. We happened upon this cute little hotel while passing through. So happy we did. It has just been redone and the touches are fabulous. Everything is so cute and very comfortable. We love roadtrips and finding this little gem was one of our most memorable stops.

Beautifully redone rooms that are spacious and with basic conveniences. Retro, clean vibe-love that it’s not carpet! Staff is amazing and very welcoming. Even though it is close to the street, the traffic noise isn’t too bad. Very well lit and safe feel with great food options all around. Will definitely stay here again if in the area!

Very clean, nice room. Downsides were that the heat was off in my room when I arrived and it took over three hours to get it to room temperature. Also the gym was closed for construction. No breakfast included. Staff were very friendly.

The renovation here is amazing. The mid-century vibe is too die! Huge bathroom and shower. Very comfortable bed. Very quiet. I loved being able to park right in front of my room. The only suggestion I would make is an in room coffee maker. I really hope more people will try a stay here. I will be back when I'm in the area. The only suggestion I would make is an in room coffee maker.
