This is a great place to stay on the way to Myrtle Beach (or Surfside Beach) from the Ohio area. It puts you at about 90 minutes out. It is nice in a tacky on purpose way. There are a few shops and an indoor pool. A plus and minus about the room set up is that it has a... More

The wife and I just completed a 2,000 mile vacation road trip. This was our last stop before returning home. We read the reviews and had second thoughts about staying here. We had always driven by and that was it. This time we made reservations on "Kings Row". The price was $61.00 for the night. Check in was very fast... More

I used to go to SOB on vacation years ago. Moved up here last year, so the wife and I decided to go back.. Not the same.. they changed the menu at the Diner, not worth it anymore. Most of the attractions are either closed or falling apart. Lots of souveneir shops, but no variety and high prices for cheap... More

This place just has to make you laugh. Cheap and cheerful, real family place. Huge rooms, but so, so cheesy! King suite is actually 2 rooms, 2 full bathrooms, but walls are thin. Most stuff even worked. We drove a long way that day and were tired and wanted a nice glass of wine. When I asked the waitress what... More

Got there late and they put us in one of the far back rooms. Walked in past the huge spider hanging in the front door to a room that had dead roaches and other bugs in all the corners of the room. The sleeper sofa mattress had a 12 inch rip at the corner. No sheets or pillows for the... More

My wife and our daughter were on our way to Charleston, SC. We had originally planned on saying in Lumberton, NC, but decided we could get a few more miles in before settling in for the night. We ended up staying at the South of the Border. I'll be honest, if you are looking for something fancy or luxurious, this... More

This hotel is as great as ever- clean, comfortable rooms and an excellent value. We stayed here for only one night when all smaller motels along Rt. 96 were filled due to the holiday weekend. This will be a regular stop in the future. The cost of the room was only $59.95 for two double beds- I consider this cheap,... More

Ignore the millions of billboards. Do not stop here. Just keep driving, even if you are tired or hungry. This place is nasty and WAAAYYYY past its prime. The shops all sell the same over-priced junk (ponchos, cheap toys, stuff that looks like it belongs in the free box at a garage sale). The hotel and restaurants are disgusting! I... More

This was a spur of the moment hotel change. The motel is old, but the rooms were clean and the beds were comfortable. There is an indoor pool (called the Pleasure Dome), and a sauna, but no hot tub. It was inexpensive at $50 for two double beds. There was a carport right outside the room, and the grounds were... More

The smell in the room was enough to send my 14 year old back out to the car. There is a full time police officer on site for security. We walked around and checked out the shops, but when we went to the convenience store and found the place to be mostly empty we went back out in the car... More
