Definitely a great experience. This renovated motel is so fun, adorable, and really comfortable. Everything is new and so well designed. The furniture and bed were so nice. The one issue was determining if daily cleaning was included. They never cleaned our room, three night stay, but did bring us fresh towels. Staff is friendly but did not seem too experienced. The negative is that they are still under renovation, so environment not great outside. There was no construction noise over the weekend. Would stay there again!

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.

The Colony House is fine for a quick stay. The mid-century hype is all on the outside of the hotel. The interior is basically limited to a mid-century modern-ish interpretation in the wallpaper. The room was otherwise standard fare for a mid-level motel. The internet was wildly slow and kept kicking me off. I had an event that evening and when I returned, the bathroom had three centipedes that were taking advantage of the quiet. I informed the staff on checkout, but they didn't acknowledge the photo I showed them. They also put a $150 incidentals hold on your card. That gets returned, but it is an abnormally large charge for the area and quality of the facility.

I had a wonderful stay at this hotel! The room was comfortable, and the staff were incredibly welcoming and helpful. I even forgot my computer cord when I checked out, and they went above and beyond by mailing it back to me free of charge—I really appreciate their thoughtfulness and efficiency. Their service truly left a lasting impression, and I would gladly stay here again. Highly recommend!

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.
