Carolina Motel is a great place to stay. All the people who rent rooms are respectable. The man who watches over the place "Eric" is a very nice landlord

Good friendly . Reasonable prices and weekly rate discounts. For all these great qualities, it can make it difficult to find vacancy here. Definitely call ahead and ask first.
