The Quirky Motel In North Carolina You Never Knew You Needed To Stay At

Typically speaking, vintage old motels don't usually get high ratings from customers. But every so often we encounter one that ranks high on the list of accolades for accommodations. If you'd like to know what happens when an old vintage motel undergoes a thorough cleaning (and stays that way!), gets a few upgrades and is then decorated with a colorful and eclectic theme, then keep reading. You may discover you love this place, too.

The Mother Earth Motor Lodge is an eclectic can't-miss roadside motel in Kinston.

It was built in 1963 and recently revamped with retro vibes not unlike a 70's motel in Miami — only much more tasteful. The rooms and the lobby are tastefully filled with art deco furniture and colorful art.

If you plan to stay more than a night, the motel offers some full suites with mini-kitchens and comfy, colorful living rooms complete with their signature art deco design.

Guests particularly enjoy the bathrooms and say they are super clean and have all the comforts of posh, much more expensive places to stay.

Outside, you can relax in the three-ring art deco style swimming pool and reflect on the good ole days.

Mother Earth Motor Lodge is located at 501 N Herritage St., Kinston, NC 28501. Book your room, and learn more about their 70s Miami vibe lodging on their official website.

From the colorful, art deco decor to the friendly staff, this super clean vintage motel has been turned into a quirky little one-of-a-kind getaway for those who prefer staying off-brand lodging.
