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!

The stay was phenomenal, phenomenal, phenomenal, phenomenal, phenomenal and phenomenal. I absolutely loved it. The aesthetics and ambience was everything I needed for the trip that I was on. It really made me want to just sit in the room and chill. It is perfect for longer stays like 5 to 7+ days. Especially if you get the two room suite!! The Customer Service is Chick-fil-A level and beyond; where my pleasure doesn’t need to actually be said, it shows in the actions and non-verbal body cues of the employees. This will be my go to hotel every time I visit Southern, Virginia.
