Nice little American owned mom and pop motel. Small enough you can park in front of your room, has a pool, and they have a firepit and have fires on the weekends weather permiting. Perfect location

The Carolina Motel was great! Clean and comfortable with friendly staff who worked hard to give us a great stay at the motel. Our room was spotless and had everything we needed including a very comfy bed. My only reason for the 4 instead of 5 is that, because it is a little older, it had a tiny bit of a musty smell like many hotels of this age and type do. However, we felt it was a great value and very positive experience and would definitely stay here again. Thanks Carolina Motel staff!

Perfect except the final charge

One of cleanest hotels I have visited. But for some reasons, the final charge is about $20 higher than that I booked in hotels.com
