This hotel was great value for the money and in an excellent location within walking distance to anything you need. There is a large mall about a 10 minute walk away, Carolina Park is a 2 minute walk, and lots of restaurants all over including a decent one inside the hotel. You do not need a car here. I have stayed in many hotels in the Carolina Park district and while this may not be the most "modern" one, it was clean and well-maintained, and definitely was great value for the money when compared to some of the more modern options in the area. The breakfast was also simple and efficient with hot and cold options. I will return.
