Clean, wonderful staff, great ambiance. It has a really swanky 60's theme that is really a breath of fresh air vs white soulless everything in most hotels.

We take our granddaughter to Kinston and stay at Mother Earth lodge annually. This year was a little different. They wanted to charge a fee for putt putt and shuffleboard. Thank goodness the staff used common sense and let us play for free. The amenities are the reason our grandkids want to stay there. Overall, our experience was very good.

What a hidden gem! We loved it and cannot wait for a reason to go back and stay again. First and foremost: the motel was very clean. The room, the lobby, the property in general were all nice and clean. The staff were very friendly and helpful - such a great experience. This motor lodge itself has so much character! A real blast from the past. We love mid-century and this place was awesome. I only hope the new owners are able to keep it clean and well-kept with the same friendly service as we had this trip. I am sure that as more people get to know about the Mother Earth Motor Lodge it will get to be a very popular place indeed.

It may be wise to have your front desk personnel to keep their political and personal views to themselves. For this reason i would not recommend this facility

Staff super friendly & this was the cleanest place I have stayed at in regards to hotels or motels hands down. Also it is unique and kid friendly with a pool, put put mini course, and shuffle board. Affordable & overall a nice little quiet place to stay when you’re away from home.
