I have found my permanent lodging when I’m visiting Roanoke! The modernity of the rooms, indoor access at a motel, wonderful staff, and an unbelievable rate!
Staff was very friendly, room was great, bed really comfortable. What a nice change of pace this motel is compared with others in the area! Highly recommend staying here!
Room very 50’s cute staff excellent coffee each morning excellent! Owners did a terrific renovation. Will definitely stay again and recommend. Only suggestion needs hand held shower for seniors otherwise VERY pleased with stay
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.
Colony House Motor Lodge was a pleasure to stay in. Very clean and comfortable. I heard they just finished renovating the whole place - it has a retro vibe and the workmanship is excellent. From design to finishes you can tell they didn't cut corners. It's top quality. I highly recommend.

The Colony House Motor was so charmi!g and hit all the notes travelers look for after a long day on the road. The decor is Mid-Century modern with a new twist. Extremely clean and very nice soaps/cuetip/lotion amenities. Easy access to Roanoke.
