Tar Heel Motel

Exceptionally clean!

The motel is definitely old, but it’s well kept. No problems with anything.

Room was clean and bright. Loved the decor. Way better than I expected, looking from the outside , I didn’t expect it to be as nice as it was .

The A/C unit was noisy, you couldn’t hear the TV over it . So we had to turn off the unit to which the TV. Other than that , it was great .

We really enjoyed our stay at this hotel. The fresh paint and coastal décor gave the property a clean, bright, relaxing, beach feel, and the location was great. We sat outside on the bench each morning and enjoyed our coffee. We also really liked having a private entrance directly to our room, which made coming and going convenient. The air conditioner worked very well and was nice when coming back from being hot on the beach. The check in process was great. Easy check in, we got a text that morning we were to arrive and gave instructions and code to get in. Didn't have to check in with anyone when we arrived. Enjoyed nit having a key or card to keep up with, just using the code. The pool was nice. Wasn't too cold. Not crowded. Perfect temperature. Enjoyed that every day. Liked having the space to hang rope or clothes line to hang out wet bathing suits and towels.

The only complaint would have to be the shower. Very small with not enough water pressure. The shower head position or spray couldn't be adjusted at all and was spraying in the center of the stall. Would have been nice to have an adjustable shower head or one that is handheld as well. Our particular room didn't have a dining table and chairs which we missed, but we know some do have, we just happed to get one without this time and we were ok. Less eating in the room this time anyway.

Location was nice with a short walk to the beach, the pool was enjoyable.

The room smelled like mildew. The walls in the bathroom were covered in mold/mildew. The shower pressure was almost non existent. The water was either scolding hot, or extremely cold. There was no in between. The beds were extremely hard.
