The Colonial Inn-Hillsborough

Beautiful, historic building nestled within the sweet little downtown of Hillsborough. Staff was so incredibly friendly, check in was easy, and room service was divine. Beautiful rooms and steps away from locally owned shops.

This is one of the best hotels, thanks to its excellent location. If you’re seeking a quiet neighborhood with some small shopping options, it’s a perfect choice. What truly stood out was the exceptional customer service—I had one of the best experiences thanks to an African American gentleman/ receptionist who went above and beyond. His joyful attitude and dedication to his work made a lasting impression. The only thing to keep in mind is to plan ahead for transportation, as scheduling or allowing extra time for Uber is necessary.

The room was lovely, the staff was helpful and friendly, and you can't beat the location for a visit to Hillsborough.

This property is a must to add to your list of stays. Outstanding Inn and local shops and and restaurants. Excellent all around. Staff were all extremely friendly. Make sure you visit the restaurant and bar located inside. The bartender Oz is super cool!!!

Was double charged for stay, had to call to get it corrected

Positives: clean and well located Negatives: Non-existent soundproofing (I now know much more about the people in the adjacent room and the room above me than I really wanted to.) Inconsistent housekeeping service. One day the room was fully cleaned, the next day the bed was not even made. I don't mean linens changed. I mean they didn't even pull the covers up and put the pillows back in place. Inconsistent front desk attitude, one person pleasant, another borderline rude Maintenance person who entered my room to check the thermostat reeked of smoke. The entire property was supposedly non-smoking. The room lacked a coffee maker. Only way to get coffee was to get dressed, go outside, then re,-enter their lobby. Instead the room had some device that looked like a small electric mop that I can only guess was a shoe duster. This particular room was so tiny. It had no desk or even any writing surface. I can't speak to the other rooms.

Great stay! Super friendly staff. Clean rooms. Great little town!

Nice

Indowntown Hillsborough this hotel is a perfect stay.

We enjoyed the small garden area to walk around.

Beautiful room- quaint town, I mistakenly thought it was a bed and breakfast- there is no breakfast

Great hotel

Loved my stay. Was able to park directly in the front every night. Was super quiet and comfortable and clean.

Front desk could be more inviting

This is a beautiful well run hotel full of southern charm. Highly recommend!

Lovely old Inn in the heart of Hillsborough. They have complimentary coffee every morning and biscuits if you ask for them. Even though it was not listed as an ADA room a grab bar in the shower would help due to shower size. Sky lights are in 2nd floor annex rooms. While lovely, the sun rises early. The room had been beautifully renovated and was very clean. The Inn offers lunch and dinner. However there are lots of fun places to eat in town. It’s best to sit outside and enjoy a beverage.

Great location and friendly staff made for an enjoyable stay.

The Colonial was great! Beautiful, peaceful, and with plenty of old southern charm. Great location to downtown Hillsborough. Stayed in a double queen room annex and it was very spacious. Beds were very comfortable and bathroom was very nice. Really liked the outdoor seating for relaxing. Only constructive criticism is they need towel rods on walls in addition to the hooks and it would be nice to have the small refrigerator sit on a table instead of on the floor. Will definitely stay there again when in the area!

Easy walk to all the lovely spots in historic downtown Hillsborough!
