Carolina Motel

Carolina Motel

8/10 Good
"We enjoyed this older motel. The room was comfortable, great shower, table with 2 chairs and a 3rd chair, so good to hang out in. We didn't meet the front desk person until late day 2, but that wasn't an issue. Wish they offered coffee before 7am. No in-room coffee, microwave or refrigerator."
