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.

The Colony House Motor Lodge was a cute and clean motel. The bed was so comfortable and I sleep great. The room was very clean. The location was close to attractions and restraurants that I wanted to visit.

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.

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!

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.

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.
