Everything decent too far and motels did not look great BUT - The Columns B&B was rated 5 stars and was only two miles from gas station! Incredible BB beautiful and the hosts Michael and Mark so gracious ! The house is outstanding - really must see! And decorated beautifully!! Beautiful rooms - breakfast delicious - can't recommend it more !! Enjoy ( cost very reasonable also )

What a delightful stay. It was a random selection as a halfway stop on a trip but it turned out to…read morebe an excellent choice. The rooms were beautiful and period decorated with incredible antiques selected by the owners, Michael and Mark. The owners made us feel like family right away and we shared some fun conversations. My favorite spot was the breezy balcony porch with the rockers. The bed was comfortable with fine linens. The full delicious breakfast was worth the stay. As a small town, Dillon had little to offer but the break from the hustle and bustle of life was worth the trip!

This was my first time staying at the motor inn ( as an adult) and i was in for a treat…read more First and foremost - the staff- everyone was so friendly. From the housekeeping that i told when i saw them outside to disregard cleaning my room to the reception staff, everyone on the grounds was so nice. Now listen. When I booked this I was not expecting the Ritz, but i will say I was pleased with the room! It was huge. My room had two double beds with tons of space and a huge bathroom. Now, the room was not gorgeous and the tv had like ten channels and the wifi barely worked but these rooms and the hotel is designed for a quick stay so I get it. I tried using the indoor pool- you get your towels from the front desk- the towels are super cheap and make sure you have your wrist band in case security asks you (yes you read that right). The indoor pool as well as the outdoor pool could use some TLC. The bottoms need to be scrubbed. Actually everything could there. I feel like every thing here needs to be tweaked just slightly. The pool chairs outside had like permanent dirt marks in them. Things were usable but looked dirty if that makes sense. Now of course, the hotel is on South of the Border grounds which puts you near their restaurants and shops which for your overnight is good and you can walk back and forth to places. I wondered about safety and such being that it was such a transient place but there were not issues at all. I didn't feel unsafe at all. My car wasn't disturbed. It wasn't noisy and actually, i slept well. If the place was kept up better, it would be a really great place. I know they don't get the traffic that I'm sure they used to, so i see why they don't. But the location is a great stopping / overnight spot from so many great places. I'm glad I stayed here and i might possible do it again.

A Timeless Stay at the Motor Inn - South of the Border, Hamer, NC…read more The Motor Inn at South of the Border is more than just a place to rest--it's a piece of Americana that deserves to shine again. From the neon glow at night to the nostalgic charm that lingers around every corner, staying here feels like stepping into another era. The rooms are simple, comfortable, and filled with the character of a roadside treasure that has welcomed travelers for generations. What makes this place special isn't just the rooms--it's the lure of South of the Border itself. This iconic stop has been part of countless road trips, family vacations, and southern adventures. Keeping it alive, relevant, and celebrated is important not only for travelers but for preserving a cultural landmark. That's why I, Thomas Miller--author of South of the Border: The Motel That Eats Time--have dedicated my writing to capturing that magic. My book blends nostalgia with horror, weaving a story that keeps South of the Border alive in the imagination of readers everywhere. Horror might seem like an unlikely ally, but through it, I'm shining a light on this place, ensuring its legend continues and new generations rediscover its lure. If you're planning a road trip through North or South Carolina, I highly recommend booking a night at the Motor Inn. Come for the neon lights, stay for the history, and experience the atmosphere that inspired my novel.

Decided to stay at the red roof because I generally stay at red roof inns because they're affordable and they take my pet. Unfortunately I should have checked this location out further. The rates were extremely high for a red roof and I feel I was ripped off. I could a got a much better deal on the Internet which I could've done in my car but I didn't think about it because it was dark and pouring rain. Got to the room there were several issues regarding cleanliness and a sink faucet that was extremely difficult to turn on. Will not be back. Also I had to callTo get the Wi-Fi password because it was nowhere in the room or on the paperwork that they gave me.

The breakfast had no milk, juice, water, eggs, or meat, just a few yogurts, apples, plain bread, and dry cereal. I asked for a refund and was refused. The management blamed other guests for the breakfast problems and ignored the safety and sanitation issues I reported. The brand's customer service offered only a small amount of reward points instead of taking real responsibility. Don't stay here.

IF YOU HAVE A CHOICE BETWEEN SLEEPING AT A REST STOP .....SLEEP THERE!!!! BLACK MOLD, ROACHES and FILTH like I have never seen. The ONE positive was the desk person Dawn. She was helpful, kind, and went out of her way to answer questions from this tired traveler. This hotel needs to hold on to her....because honestly....the review goes down from here. Oh.....FREE WIFI...that is actually pretty good. I booked this hotel as I was driving on I-95, on my Travelocity app. Got the room for 43 dollars plus tax. WAY OVER PRICED! I am in room 107, and there is a flat screen TV in here. The first thing I did was disinfect the doorhandles, and the remote. (yeah).... The AC is OLD, and has.....crumbs, or a dead bug.....something in it. It is VERY dusty, and I have asthma. There is no way to change the direction of the vents, so I had to improvise and put the backs of both "chairs" to the AC vent, and direct the cooler air up, instead of on me. The owner REALLY needs to invest in some new furniture, and CLEAN THE CARPETS.....caulk the tub so it is white.......not rocket science. South Carolina is a very cool state...I would hate some ones impression of the state....to be this hotel. Ok ...uncle.( a few hours later) This place needs to be shut down. Seriously. Black mold, nothing is clean, roaches everywhere..Ick. I usually sleep naked....said no one ever in this hotel. This is one of the worst hotels I have ever stayed in....and that is saying something.
