a decent 2-star hotel with exorbitant price. I never realized I booked a 2 star hotel from orbitz, based on the price. Location is right off the highway, which is convenient but a poorly maintained locality with a kind of stench all around. Hotel seems old construction, with stench of smoking in the hallway you cannot ignore. Rooms was decently clean with no stench inside, however the bathroom vent spits out back into the bathroom itself making it not usable immediately. There is a tesla level-2 charger available on the property and it is working. However, the owner charges $10 for unlimited charging, not sure if it is per day or per stay.

This is one of the best values for money on I-95! Big fridge, clean room, a little dated - but everything functions well. Only minor issue is parking - anything bigger than 16' is going to have trouble parking.

The Southern Inn was an affordable stop on our long trip. The room was clean and the bed wasn’t uncomfortable. The room did smell very musty and even with the AC running the room was humid. There was a fly strip hanging from the ceiling which was not appealing at all. Overall for the price I would stay again if passing through the area. Is it my first pick for a top notch hotel? No, but for what it was it worked.

I have a Tesla and was passing through to NC from Florida so the on-site charging station is the main reason I booked this hotel (for the first time). Staff was very pleasant but the check-in took longer than usual. Most hotels that offers EV charging are free but this one charges $9, which is not unfair but they should put that in the listing. I got only one face towel and NO tissue, not a big deal but should improve. My biggest problem is the TV. It's a nice smart TV but we can watch Netflix or any streaming, because the remote limited us to DirecTV which I never watch. It doesn't cost the hotel anything to allow guests to use the streaming function, so I can't understand. Please make changes.

If you book this place, you have to keep in mind you get what you pay for. Inhave stayed here multiple time when traveling from MD to FL to visit my son in college as Lumberton is halfway. When I stay here, I am literally looking for a place to sleep for 5-6 hiurs before getting back on the road and it is perfect for that. The rooms are clean, but simple not fancy. The decor and paint jobs are dated. The price is right if you are looking for a no frills get in sleep and get out stay. I have enjoyed usong this hotel for that purpose.

Moving towards higher quality...

For the price, this Motel does its job. The place seems a bit run down, however it seemed as though the owners are really trying to improve their efforts for their customers to have a pleasing stay.
The only thing I can really complain about is the Check-Out is 10AM, where as it's previously stated as 11 AM. There is a $10 charge per hour for late Check Out. WHICH, tbf, is worth the extra sleep sometimes.
Overall, for a Motel, I've seen MUCH MUCH worse. And the people were nice. And efforts are actively being made to imrpove the quality of their rooms.

It’s an older hotel that has had upgrades to the room. We were comfortable the one night we stayed. The heat/AC wall unit was much quieter than most are in other hotels. The door lock was somewhat broken which made it hard to latch.

The property is of course convenient to I-95. There are food and gas nearby. The rooms though are very dated and show tons of wear and tear. The floors were dirty since my new and clean flip flops made black marks on a tub towel I decided to see if the floor was the cause and yes a wipe of the floor with a napkin made it black. Also the owner asked to make sure we wouldn't smoke which is great unfortunately the smoke would have made the room smell a bit fresher...bring lysol..

Don’t waste your time or money!

Hotel is perfect if looking for a pay by the hour place.

Raining when we arrived, parking lot had ankle deep water & needs repaving.

Clerk questioned if the ID & credit card I presented was really me. Also repeatedly asked me if i was trying to bring a pet into the hotel. I responded each time no, but he felt it necessary to keep asking.

Room we were given smelled like mold / mildew. Drawers appeared to have food crumbs in them. One of the double beds had hair in it when we pulled covers back. This room did not have any individual soaps or shampoo provided. There was a container of soft soap on the counter that looked like water had been added to so it would last longer. Anyone could have tampered with this since it had a screw on top. Bathroom in terrible need of updates. There was a wall mounted shampoo / soap dispenser that does not lock. Anyone can open this dispenser and tamper with the contents. These type of dispensers are normally locked so they can’t be tampered with by guests. Who has such things for guests to use during a pandemic? Many of the electrical outlets do not work.

Hotel is located very close to interstate so it will be hard for you to get rest if you are a light sleeper. Room had regular curtains so allowed a lot of light in room so it was hard to sleep. Ice dispenser located in a way that when it is used it sounds like a snow plow coming through parking lot.

We witnessed the owners calling customers crazy!
