First - you can’t beat the Customer Service / Staff. We come back every time we are near for that reason. Love that it is a smaller motel. Very clean, park in front of your FIRST floor room - well maintained.

The gentleman running the place was very pleasant and helpful. Very business friendly, he named all the eating places in the surrounding area also. Parking was available right in front of your room, which is nice. The rooms were clean and stocked. If you needed anything he was quick to get it. I would definitely stay there again!

This motel is made just like a motel in the 60s, so it has a nostalgia factor going for it. It also is a good value and the staff is friendly.

The owners/staff at the Carolina Motel were friendly and helpful. There weren't a lot of upgrades but they weren't needed because everything was clean, comfortable, and in good condition. Since it isn't a huge hotel, it was nice being able to keep my curtains and door open while I was in the room, simply enjoying the outdoor space as well. Coffee was available in the mornings but I rated the amenities as average because there wasn't water in the swimming pool.

Great little old school motel that has been well-kept. Room was super clean, owner is very kind and helpful, check-in was easy, and coffee was available in the lobby at 7am. We especially enjoyed the pool after a long day of travel. Great value, would definitely stay here again.
