If you're looking to go back in time, too the days of roadside motels, this is the place for you! Impeccably restored in all its mid-century modern glory, The Colony House is full of fun and whimsy. I highly recommend a stay here when in the Roanoke area.

This renovated property is clean, well appointed, and overall a great value and great place to stay. We met both the owner and manager; you can tell how serious they both are about customer service and the brand they've created at the colony house. If you enjoy attention to detail, great location in Roanoke, and staff that care about what they're doing, stay here. We would stay again of on the area!
