This motel is made just like a motel in the 60s, so it has a nostalgia factor going for it. It also is a good value and the staff is friendly.

This place was so cute and very clean. The gentleman at the front desk was so nice and gave us a local map and told us the best places to eat. He also gave us a map of the waterfalls when we told him that is what we were in town for.

I would stay here again. It was a fun motel that looks like it has had recent renovations. Staff was helpful in local suggestions. Have a fire pit you can sit around but it has been raining so wasn't lit.

The Carolina Motel was great! Clean and comfortable with friendly staff who worked hard to give us a great stay at the motel. Our room was spotless and had everything we needed including a very comfy bed. My only reason for the 4 instead of 5 is that, because it is a little older, it had a tiny bit of a musty smell like many hotels of this age and type do. However, we felt it was a great value and very positive experience and would definitely stay here again. Thanks Carolina Motel staff!
