“YUCK!”

Carolina Motel

Jun 27, 2008
1/1 found this review helpful

The motel was a mess! The rooms were too small and so small that my uncle accidentally hit his head off the fan and broke it! Theroom was so damp that my cousin thought the beds were ''water beds''. There was no service whatsoever when we went, and in the end, all we thought of it as was the Ancient Aztec Mental Institute!

My mother and I have been coming to this hotel every year for the last 20 years. As each year passes the place gets more run down. There's no way I wanted to come back again this year but my Mom is 87 and coming here has become a tradition with her.

The first sight that greeted us was the pool....empty except for green sludge in the bottom....yuck!

Then the room....
Bad stains on the carpet, weird odor, curtains that won't close, bureau drawers that are broken, metal thresh-hold strip between carpet and linoleum that kept popping up to trip over and the list goes on. Just a look at the pictures should warn any prospective clients to steer cleer of this one!

The only thing this hotel has going for it is that it's right on the beach.

We won't come back next year!

“Back to the 70's”

Carolina Motel

Aug 21, 2005
17/17 found this review helpful

The whole room was very 70's dated, down to the dirty gold shag carpet & the gold drapes that would not close all the way. I used a hair clip to keep the drapes shut. The wallpaper was peeling, the bedspreads were stained and the beds were hard as a rock. I slept in a chair that night. If you found a place in the lot to park your car, you took the chance of being blocked in by another person also looking for a space, which happened to me. One night was all I could take.
