The Colonial Inn

I’ve stayed at the Colonial Inn numerous times, and it never fails to meet my expectations. It’s a clean, convenient, and unique hotel ina gorgeous small town. Highly recommend.

Absolutely stunning, amazing atmosphere, friendly staff..we are in awe! Such a great experience at a beautifully renovated historical treasure!!

Will definitely be back. Came for Snow Foundation and PAC training as well as personal. Highly recommend staff, place, restaurant, etc!

Cute, clean and comfortable . Room and property was gorgeous . People are friendly highly recommend

Excellent overnight stay on our road trip. Good location. Make sure you have a cinnamon roll in the morning!

I wish I could give this hotel a better rating, it has so much potential. I booked 2 king rooms, both in the historical section. One was large, bright and spacious, with a desk and refrigerator, the other was small, dark and cramped with one chair and no fridge. Most of the staff was exceptionally nice, but there was a couple that were not, especially one of the restaurant waiters that copped an attitude when we pointed out that he repeatedly forgot to bring my husband's drink at dinner, and literally slammed his beer bottle on to the table. We did not eat there again. There are many nice places to eat within walking distance, but not much for breakfast, unless you are into sugary pastries. There is an area downstairs where they serve coffee and cinnamon rolls (you have to ask for them), but the seating is limited and had obviously not been cleaned very well, with racks of silverware all over the one table. The hotel also advertises "free self parking". This is true, but it is on the street if you are lucky enough to find a spot, they do not have their own lot. They do have housekeeping service, but outside of changing the pillowcases I have no idea what they did. We had to replace our own towels. Overall it was a nice stay in a nice little town, a short drive to Chapel Hill and other areas. Not sure if I would stay again though.

The history of the property is amazing & the vibe of the town & hotel are so mellow. Loved it & would go back in a heart beat.

Not what we expected, small property, new building housed modern rooms. Had no old southern charm. Rolls as breakfast, more of a hotel then a bed and breakfast.

The Colonial Inn is historic in Hillsborough NC. After years of neglect, a number of families came together to buy, restore & refurbish the grand old building as well as building a new addition with we’ll appoint, modern rooms. Everything from morning coffe and cinnamon buns service to luxurious bed linens adds to the pleasure of our stays here. Plus, great staff especially a woman named Nancy!
