Fair price clean and staff is good people neighborly
It's okay for the price you pay. Come on now people if you didn't like it you wouldn't have stayed. You can't expect a 5 star hotel for 55 dollars -.- be real. It's great for the price.
I reckon it's ok.. I turned around in the parking lot.. and never went in..so I couldn't tell you if they were even open for business....
The experience was surprising. The room was super clean, large king size bed with large space outside bed area with walk-in closet and full size dresser. Bathroom was organized and clean. The water pressure here was outstanding and the privacy was above average. This location is near a two lane road and out in the country. The manager was super friendly and took care of towels and trash very detailed and scheduled. I live our stay here and got several not fhts if sleep I needed. I give it 4 stars because the place needs remodeling.
We've been staying here almost every night for the past 3 weeks. I think it's a great cheap place, never have I got bitten by bed bugs, TV works great, showers and bath are great HEATER WORKS WONDERS. if you ever get to cold turn the heater on, same goes for the a/c , I love this little place. Cheap and affordable too. Don't listen to what anyone else says, they've cleaned up there act. This hotel isn't a 5 star hotel. But it'll give you a place to sleep at night on a weekend.
If you don’t need that much.. and looking for a place cheap with FRIENDLY AND AMAZING STAFF. This is a place to stay!! Highly recommend Economy Inn in Tabor City NC
The owner, Mr Mike , and his wife were very friendly and accommodating. The rooms are clean and I am very glad I found this place. Highly recommended. 100 × better than the Holiday inn in whiteville. Great prices too! Highly recommended. A+++
Joanne and Mike are the best This ain't a hotel, like the rest
Great place to stay, clean, comfortable, quiet, friendly staff, reasonable prices
Not impressive but the AC works. The room could use a paint job and a once over but the beds were comfortable and room was clean. We just needed a place for the night. So for what we needed the room for it was just fine. Obviously there are nicer places closer to the beach for a little more money if that's what you are looking for.
