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.

Great stay smooth check in great prices rooms lovely .. a hidden gem

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.

Lovely spot!

Love the place super lovely and staff very attentive.

The staff was amazing!

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!

An historian’s dream. Like going back in time 200 years and staying in a wealthy family member’s big house, with servants all around to tend to one’s needs, yet treated like family with genuine non-commercial warmth. Gorgeous smack in the middle of small town location. Totally modern luxurious air conditioning, bedding and bathroom facilities even in the oldest part of the inn where we stayed.

Our son lives in Hillsborough so it was very easy and convenient. Very comfy and clean. We loved the walk ability to restaurants. Such a great small town spirit. We will definitely stay again.

Great hotel

The only issue is that most of the rooms are in the back building which is new. The old inn has rooms but they are much more expensive. This should have been clear on the website.

The staff was terrific, the rooms were pretty and comfortable, and we loved the location in historic Hillsborough, with all the restaurant and bar and lovely old homes and Revolutionary War history.

Property condition was superb. Staff was very friendly too. Parking was ok. Didn't care for the exposure of cleanig equipment and supplies in upstairs hall.

beautiful setting and a lovely Inn with charm and unique features

Beautiful historic location

The staff welcomed us to this beautiful inn. Our room had a high ceiling and felt like a special place.

a lovely colonial-era inn with character

Good job restoring and preserving a grand old revolutionary property NO PARKING.... ONLY ON STREET

Modern amenities within a charming historical building. Nice outdoor spaces to relax. Ideal, walkable location, friendly helpful staff. Will be back.

Lovely spot in which to settle for business or pleasure. While it was established several centuries ago, the rooms in the back section are sleek and contemporary. So close the the enchanting Riverwalk! Best high end grocery and coffee spot nearby. Best thing? Caring staff!!

My stay was for 2 nights. The room was very clean and I love the patio right outside the door. The staff was great and everyone was very friendly and helpful. I would definitely stay here again!

Beautiful rooms, I arrived late the evening I reserved the room and I was tired from traveling and got there as soon as I could. The night clerk basically let me know that The Colonial Inn "isn't that tpe of establishment".

Excellent upgraded historical inn. The owners have kept all the charm while modernizing. Our stay could not have been better. Hillsborough is a fun town to visit, walkable with many historical homes, great restaurants, and nearby trails. We recommend a visit and a stay at the Colonial Inn.

The staff was so friendly and helpful! Loved this hotel and the town is charming!

The staff was amazing, made us feel completely taken care of. The inn was beautiful. I wish I could have spent more time there as we were in town for a wedding and had several plans. I will come again!

Great stay!

Great stay great staff Room very clean

It was beautiful. The staff was amazing.

If you expect historical, then you get that. If you expect modern, then you get that too. The renovation of this historic hotel is perfect in every aspect.

Nice quite place to get away.
