Carolina Lodge No 9

We stayed here for our mid point on our way to Florida and for $ 39.99 a night I have no complaints.

When we first got here I thought, «wow this is cute, much more homey than those other off-​highway pet-​friendly motels.» They’ve got a garden growing out back and unlike other «pet-​friendly» motels, they have a huge area to let them run around in (unfenced).
The mirrors on the ceiling and wall, albeit a little sleazy still didn’t trigger any instincts. But walking into the bathroom, where the shower was so obviously uncleaned it looked like a dirty dog got wet and shook itself off in there. Then there were the stains. on the walls, curtains, mattress, refrigerator…
Also the «24-​hour on-​site restaurant» WAS a Huddle Hut in the vicinity, but that’s closed down now. The Waffle House is still walkable though.
Let’s just say that this place is no better than those other motels, but for $ 30 a night I guess we can’t complain. No bedbugs.
