My room was clean and quiet and had a very comfortable bed. Parking was plentiful and close to my room. Unfortunately the Wi Fi was out the entire four days of my stay; at least, I couldn’t get the TV to work. I also wish they had hand towels to use by the sink. They only supply small bath towels and wash clothes. Overall this is an acceptable budget stay.

The Colonial Inn has a reasonable rate, it's pet friendly for 25 dollars a, night non refundable, a 100 dollar deposit that takes up to 5 business days to refund, the TV programs weren't very good, and there was no TV channels listing in the room, when I ask about the wifi password I was given the wrong password, there is not even a small single serve coffee pot in the room but they do have coffee in the office, the shower was good with plenty of hot water, and the bed was very comfortable, the room was clean and smelled good. All in all it wasn't a bad weekend stay, but some changes could be made to make it even better.

Terrible customer service. The receptionist was extremely rude, disrespectful, and unprofessional from the moment we checked in. After learning that a few members of our group were smokers, he repeatedly questioned why we had booked non-smoking rooms, even though we clearly explained that we understood the no-smoking policy and had no intention of smoking indoors. Instead of treating us with respect, he kept lecturing us and even threatened to cancel our reservation. We felt judged and unwelcome before we even entered our rooms.

The rooms were also disappointing. We booked two rooms, and one bathroom had visible mold, the restroom door lock was broken, the bathtub was dirty, and only one shampoo packet was provided for a room with four guests.

Overall, the receptionist’s attitude completely ruined our stay. I would not recommend this hotel.

Check in was quick and easy when we arrived, the Patel's run a nice place. Room was very clean and tidy. I think they recently redid the floors was nice. The staff is helpful and you can get coffee early in the morning. Parking has never been an issue even with it being a small hotel. This is my usual when I travel to Franklin for my car group.

NO HOT WATER AT ALL!! I checked in with some Indian lady that could not speak or read English. It took her about 5 minutes to even show up downstairs to the counter because she was upstairs in her room. She called another person on FaceTime and showed them my ID and credit card to check in! These people are no professional and I called my bank to let them know in case I had extra or fraud charges. I was not given a receipt and told to write my email address on a scratch piece of paper and she would email the receipt. Never got it. Shower was cold, never got hot. Sink water was ice cold and hot did not work. The heat/AC unit could barely warm the room because it’s in the rear by the bathroom and not in the front. Whoever renovated this motel had zero idea on what they were doing. The blanket on the bed was just a thin sheet. This place sucked and I would never ever book a room here again especially in the winter when it’s 10 degrees outside and all you want is a warm room and a warm shower.

Nice roadside motel, just 2 miles outside of town. Room was surprisingly very clean, and the bed was quite comfortable.

Quiet and GREAT STAFF!

Great welcome, such a nice staff with loads of information about the area. Was apprehensive due to the price, did not expect such a quiet, comfortable night's sleep.

Everything went smooth since the booking to the stay. We liked the cleanliness of the place and the location. The only thing we could suggest is to replace the shampoo and conditioner with something easier to open, because the poly bag seal is really hard to tear it. Thank you

Very nice Inn in Franklin

Very clean and comfortable. Modern and attractive decor. Everything worked great, easy to find, easy to park. Centrally located in Franklin w/ a great new Ingles market a mile down the road with salad bar, food bar and so many grab & go items. I would stay again if in the area. Thank you!

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!

Check in was ok. I will not rent this hotel again. The occupants in the next room had their TV on all night long. I didn't sleep well at all. I did not return for the second night as I had reserved. I checked out early so I was out $100 and had to fimd another hotel.
One of the worst hotels I have ever visited.
