A lovely stay in Franklin
From the greeting of our host to picking up our ice packs that they had kept frozen for us when we left----this was the perfect place to stay, I can't say enough for the cleanliness of this motel. It has been lovingly cared for and is like new. Every need had been anticipated. It was quiet with lovely grounds. We will remember this place and stay there when we're in the area.

From the first view to the first visit everything was exactly as promised . The rooms were extremely clean as were the grounds and buildings. The fire pit is a great place to hang out and watch the stars. The pool area is immaculate and well stocked. Friendly and knowledgeable staff. Will definitely be back again.

Carolina Motel is one of the cleanest places we’ve stayed. The guy that runs it is great and very helpful with knowledge of the area restaurants and activities. The pool area is well kept and towels were provided poolside. The no smoking rules are strict but are for the common courtesy of your night neighbors and staff. They do provide a designated smoking area with a fire pit and chairs. I would highly recommend Carolina Motel
