This was the worst place I ever saw. I will never use tripadvisor because of deceptive pictures & reviews. We could not even stay there. Awful place. More

We knew the Carolina was an old hotel from reading previous reviews. My wife and I found it dated, but the room was clean and presentable. What we were not prepared for was the 20-25 yahoo guests that occupied the hotel while we were there. These people, from Quebec, took over the courtyard every night from 6 PM until they... More

This hotel was THE WORST. We read the reviews, but didnt belive them--we should have--the rooms smelled of mold, the place was probably faboulous in the 60's but NOTHING and I mean NOTHING has been up-graded since then. Thank God we brought our own sheets--since we found an old sock while changing the bed! The maids do nothing other than... More

The hotel is right on the beach and not a far walk from the Pier. It is however VERY old and in need of updates. The room wasn't really dirty just old. The only dirty part was the box spring on the bed which someone either spilled tomato soup on or a homicide occured on it. See attached photo. More

We have been going to the Carolina every 4th. of July for a 3-4 night stay for the last 10 years. I have tried a few different hotels in Old Orchard for other occassions, but the Carloina is the best by far. We stay in the room closest to the beach which has its own private deck! There is no...

When I called the lady was real nice and told me all she had left was a two bed over looking the beach and we would have our own deck... and it would just cost $200.00 a night.. we got there and after checking in we could not find a parking place.... ( they have a small bar and pizza... More

When my boyfriend and I decided to find a place to stay in Old Orchard last minute, the only place that would take two 20 year olds on last minute notice was the Carolina motel. The woman who took our reservation and meet us when we showed up wasn't the friendliest, but I think she was just one of those... More

Short and sweet my husband broke his foot when a large heavy piece of wood fell off the wall. It landed on his toes. We alerted the clerk at the front desk. She told us the insurance co would be in touch with us. She refused to tell us their name. It was 4th of July weekend. It was completely... More

The motel was a mess! The rooms were too small and so small that my uncle accidentally hit his head off the fan and broke it! Theroom was so damp that my cousin thought the beds were ''water beds''. There was no service whatsoever when we went, and in the end, all we thought of it as was the Ancient... More
