No bad seats - actually most are sitting at thin tables made from a beautiful piece of leading edge local wood. Others sit in cofortable recliners and some prefer to stand. The 5 Points Sanctary sound system is top notch, staff/volunteers super friendly, the bar is stocked with some higher end offerings and not bottom shelf swill. Quality beer on tap and in cans. They have hi tech headphones which allow older people (like me) or youngsters to dial in their preferred decibel level. DId I mention 5 Points is run by a 501C3 which helps raise support and provide space for other important non-profits to help many in our city?

She Said: He forgot to add that they also have good quality drinks available at reasonable prices. Plus the bar minders are kind and patient and awesome. We go to a LOT of music venues, and the beauty of this aspect of 5 Points cannot be overstated. Potty Points: 4/5 potty points. Do I wish there were more? Yes. Do I have to stand in line sometimes? Also yes. Do I meet some really interesting people in line and appreciate that as well as the cleanliness of the bathrooms once I finally get to use one? Absolutely yes.

Used CoLab for a month when I needed to be in Roanoke. I typically work remotely. I found it to…read morebe welcoming and suited my needs. Talk to them about your timing and how you would need to use the space. I usually used an open space in the front and then reserved a huddle room when I wanted or needed more privacy. Huddle room and conference room hours are included in the membership. I will definitely come back when I want more community or need to be in the area.

This was the perfect space to host an early-December "done with chemo" celebration for friends and…read morefamily! Good price, flexible space, and prime location. I expect that the conference rooms would be solid options to host meetings, if you work remotely or simply want a change in venue from your office, but the main atrium/front room provides a welcoming environment for a mix-and-mingle cocktail reception. We were able to arrange some tables for food, a self-serve bar, photo "booth" area, and both low chairs and high top tables for a variety of ways to connect. The double front doors provided an easy entry, with plenty of natural light, and we appreciated the private kitchenette area and separate individual bathrooms. Plenty of working spaces in the back of the building and convenient to post-party drinks and dining options. It was nice having a gas station around the corner for extra ice and the co-op next door to get extra drinks. Brad was great with getting us set on our own with the space. I highly recommend considering the Roanoke CoLab for your next small event or also to use during the working hours.

I stayed at Colony House Motor Lodge during a solo motorcycle trip through Virginia and North…read moreCarolina and enjoyed my stay. The property has a unique character and atmosphere that stands out from a typical chain hotel. The room was clean, comfortable, and a great place to relax after a full day of riding. The location worked well for exploring the area and served as a convenient stop on my trip. I slept through the night with no noises that bothered me. I would have preferred a ground room floor but ended up on the second floor. It wasn't a major issue, but a ground-floor room would have been my preference. My only real suggestion would be to offer breakfast on-site. Having breakfast available before heading out for a day of riding would have been a nice convenience. Overall, I enjoyed my stay and would consider staying here again on a future motorcycle trip.

Cute waterfront lodge. Nice clean rooms. Our room was a king room on second floor with balcony. I…read morereally liked the fact that there were 2 doors for our room. 1 in the back by the parking area for easy unloading luggage and another door in the front that takes you to the balcony overlooking the lake. This place is pretty laid back. Great place for a fishing trip or boating weekend. There is a boat dock right in front, along with some picnic tables and lounge chairs to enjoy the view. Rooms are cute and comfortably decorated. Mini frig and microwave. Bathroom was quite large, but vanity was way too small for any useful purpose than simply a sink. Also, beware of floor and shower area, as it can be quite slippery when wet. No hair dryers, so bring one if needed. The price was reasonable, but the view was priceless. Relaxing and cozy. We would stay here again if in the area.

The building is narrow, so the rooms open on to both sides, east and west. That meant a bright sunny room in the morning, which is great if you are there for early fishing. There's also water on 3 sides, so you get a great view of the lake. There is a microwave, frige, and coffee maker, which is helpful because the nearest anything is 2 miles away. This is also one of the very few places around the lake that isn't a condo or long-term rental.

It was kind of inexpensive but I paid about $15 more per night than I expected compared to the quality of the room I got, and the room I could have had for about $25 more at a chain.

It is really close to the parkway so if you're in town for that, this is an OK place to stay. The employees (possibly the owners?) are super nice.

It did have a side of verde sauce but that was spicy and just didn't help out much. I will definitely try them again. I will say I was a bit surprised at the Mexican coke being $8.90 for 2 of them..
