Super fun place and the staff were really friendly! Finally a motel that doesn’t have depressing decor! My only complaints are that there should be soap by the sink in the kitchenette so you can wash your hands, and the pool fountains, while beautiful, were so loud that it wasn’t very relaxing to be outside in the pool area.

We were only there a short time, but will definitely be back. I loved the retro feel of this hotel. Our room was clean and comfortable. Being right by the pool we were concerned about noise, but even with kids outside we barely heard any noise. Staff was very polite and welcoming. There was an issue with another guest at the front desk as we were leaving, but I felt the clerk was handling it gracefully.

Great value, nice staff in a cool renovated motor inn. Only complaint is my room was a room pets were allowed in and it had a bit of an odd smell, but it was clean. I didn’t have a pet with me so it would’ve been nice to get a different room.

Very nice stay, clean & great staff! Stayed Friday to Monday. I'll definitely be back! This is better than the newer hotels. Nice pool, miniature golf & lounge areas all made it worth while. We really enjoyed ourselves.

We had seen this spot a couple of years back when driving through Kinston, and we finally made a weekend trip to stay. This motor lodge is a dream. The front staff was wonderful and kind, they sell their local beer right there, they have popcorn in the lobby and had cookies fresh baked when we arrived, and they have a cute little breakfast nook. Their rooms are all completely renovated but with original bathroom tile, and they are spotless. The renovations are a nod to the past, but they also are modern and comfy. The ac worked so well too, and the bed was really comfy. Everything worked well and I literally have nothing but positive comments. If you are on the fence, come and stay. The area doesn't have a ton to do, but there are cute restaurants and it is also close to the coast for a cheaper price. :) I even got a little car sticker and keychain on the way out the door because I wanted to help advertise this cute spot. There are not a ton of motor lodges left, and seeing this one restored so well is wonderful.
