"Booked this motel to save $ for a quick stay on our way to OBX. You get what you pay for. Got checked in quickly & pulled up right in front of our room. First floor & king bed was going to be great! Wrong! First, our keys wouldn’t open the door, then we realized looking in the window that the bed looked slept in already. We knocked & no one came. Back to front desk we went. Was told the only other thing available was a double on the 2nd floor, even though the room next door to our original room was empty and we could see the bed wasn’t slept in and no luggage inside. We took the double. Walked to it first to make sure it was going to be ok. First we came upon someone lighting a joint in the second floor breezeway. At least that’s all it was, I was thinking if it looked like something else we were out of there! Luckily our room was quite a ways from that guy. Try our key & again it did not work! Headed back to the front, then realized we didn’t try the other key. Luckily it worked! Got in & room was fairly clean, beds made properly. By another breezeway and people out there smoking, plus could smell the marijuana also. This was all being pulled in through the window AC. This is an old motel, not kept in great condition, but isn’t the worst I’ve ever stayed in. Definitely going to have to start spending more to get a decent place to stay. Showed up early for breakfast, so we left. Bed linens stained, but clean. Towels stained & thin, but clean. Slept good, smoke smell went away"
