"I recently stayed at the Carolina Pines Inn for two nights on a visit with family. My destination was Rockingham, about 20 miles away. I did not book until the week before our trip and options there were limited and relatively expensive. So my search for options widened. Carolina Pines had good reviews, was reasonably priced and was the closest to Rockingham. I believe the Inn was built as a golf resort but has passed through several owners and functions as a hotel. There is an outdoor pool.
All staff were very friendly and accommodating. Our two-queen bed option worked well for the three of us. The beds were extremely comfortable and we all slept well. The room appeared recently updated. The Inn sits well back from the highway, in the resort grounds, so is very quiet. There was a very nice continental breakfast option, with many choices. There is a small bar and grill open a few hours in the evening, a limited menu, I believe...I did not dine there. Not a lot of dining options in the immediate area, but there are many choices just a few (3-4) miles up the road at Southern PInes/Aberdeen. I would definitely stay here again."
