More Motel Than Hotel

My usual preference for a midway break during Tampa Bay or even past Singer Island FL 1200 miles drives to Eastern Long Island NY has been Raleigh NC which 600/600 miles point. In the past I’ve also met up with friends there. But I had Best Western Lumberton on my list as a decent option for my two great German Shepherd Dogs. I used BF to make the reservation but followed up on day of travel with the hotel. Claudia was very good on the phone ensuring we’d have a good room waiting. It was a 12 hour drive thanks to I-75, then switching to I-95, and giving dogs plenty of stops en route.

Karyn (hope I’m remembering the name right) was there at check in and went above and beyond holding door open while I got two excited dogs & my luggage from the car to go through the lobby. The room was spacious, clean, decently comfortable. They need thicker blankets and hotter water but that’s just for readers’ awareness. The AC was great. The room dark and quiet despite being near a busy area. The free wifi was decent. Decent space outside to walk the dogs. Easy to park near enough a room not to worry about the vehicle. The free breakfast was the usual fare you’d expect but still great time and a few bucks saver before getting back on the road. Definitely plan to stay here again God willing.
