A comfortable and fun place to stay, particularly for those of us who remember traveling by car in the 50s and 60s and stopping for the night at motels.

Looked recently refurbished. Very clean. Very comfortable bed. Many useful accessories e.g. iron, hairdryer, makeup cloth etc. Good location. 10 or so mins from downtown. Area felt safe. Very helpful and friendly front desk staff.
We would definitely stay here again when visiting Roanoke.

The property was very well updated. Super cozy and comfy. The bed, the linens, pillows- phenomenal. They thought of details that matter to guests. Very safe and secure property. Quiet. The only downfall to me was that the deposit that was required at check in of $150 was not listed up front at booking. I believe it should be transparent. Overall, great place to 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.

The room was, in fact, spotless. Very nice staff. Very nicely designed restoration of a classic late 50s, early 60s architectural style with modern conveniences. Nicely done. Very comfortable. Super clean.

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.

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.
