Nice for the price and location

Overall it was a nice hotel.... i mean you could tell it was aged but it was clean and looked decent... my only real complaint was the bed... it was a king room and the bed was one of the mattress on a raised frame with no box springs.... the mattress was very firm and i swear i could fewl the slates or bars that ran the frame... i will admit im a larger guy at 320 pounds... but i wasnt very comfortable on the bed... but that was my only real complaint... i will say.though... watch the shower... the water control is very sensitive... it will go from cold to cooking a lobster with a twitch... lol..

We booked Colonial Inn for a family trip to WNC in September, but had to cancel due to Hurricane Helene. We decided to rebook at Colonial to celebrate my daughter's graduation from WCU. The first plus was the affordable rates, second that they will allow pets, and third they provide a light breakfast. The rooms are clean and cozy. The area is well lit. The walking area for pets is ample. And the property is quiet. I hope to be back in the spring to take advantage of the fire pit!
