The Hotel Carolina by Days Inn

We stayed here Feb 2026 (I think it recently changed owners & was renovated). It was phenomenal. Newly renovated rooms. Super clean. Comfortable beds and pillows. Amazing location - we played mini golf, beach was a 2 min drive, and stores and restaurants all within 2-3 mins. We didn’t get a chance to use the pool but would next time! Great experience all around. It will definitely be our go to stay in the area from here on out.

If it were not for the friendly staff, the maintenance issues may have gotten it a poor rating. Management needs to also hire more front desk staff as people waited a long time to check in or be serviced. The one hostess I met was always cheerful, but had many duties, besides checking people in. The third floor was clean and comfortable, new pillows with firm beds The shower rod needs to be replastered to the wall. The pool was great.

What a great surprise! We were having work done at our house and needed a place for 2 nights at the last minute. Everything was new and clean. Manager on site, Suzanne (i think), was truly wonderful. Got a super minor tech snag and she was all over it. Highly recommend and thank you!

While the location was amazing and close to everything we wanted to see, the hotel itself was lacking in several areas. Even though online it says they have pool toys, they do not. My kids were very disappointed because I told them we didn't need to bring any. The picnic has 2 rundown tables that we were afraid to sit on. The elevator and the hallways are so hot and humid! You can literally break a sweat just walking down the hall to get ice. They only clean the rooms every 3 days, so you have to bag up your towels and trash and sit them outside your door if you want more towels and trash bags. There was a huge hole in the wall in our room, the TV didn't work, front desk staff was not the friendliest, especially upon departure. Breakfast was full of sweets like honey buns and donuts, and v

The only thing exceptional about this hotel is the location. The rooms and overall building in general need MAJOR remodeling. The smell of mold and mildew is strong with this one. Water leaking in every hallway. "Breakfast" consists of granola bars, a banana and a bottled water. The walls and floors do not prevent you from hearing what is going on all around you. I had the pleasure of an early morning wake up with kids running back and forth above us. My biggest complaint is that I checked out of there 1 month ago and am still waiting on my deposit back. The young, black, female employee was RUDE over the phone when I called a week after checking out simply to ask when I should see the charge back in my bank from the deposit. Mid-sentence she cuts me off and loudly explains "YOU HAVE TO
