Enroute to NJ decided to stop overnight at Roanoke Rapids. Two areas off I 95 for motels. Took earlier exit (173) and checked out several chain motels. We were towing a small utility trailer with motorcycle and found these places both seedy looking and with no safe place to park vehicle safely. The whole area was run down and dirty. Decided to go to next exit, 176. The Best Western there was more than acceptable. Told we could park our pick up with trailer attached right outside the door of our room. Adequate lighting in the parking lot made it possible for us to view the bike at all times. Area seemed much safer. No vagrants, no bars, no loud music - just a couple of motels. Check in was quick and room was adequate for overnight stay - which I'm sure is why most people stayed here. Clean bedding and 2 queen beds that were comfortable. Clean bathroom with separate switches for lioht and exhaust fan (sounds trivial, but we like to leave bathroom light on at night and sometimes the sound of the exhaust fan is too loud!) Sufficient towels, washcloths for a room designed for 4 people. Hot water was HOT and water pressure in shower was good. Quiet area and the motel was quiet the night we were there - even though there were two charter buses parked in the lot when we arrived! It was obvious the place filled up overnight. We arrived around 10PM and it was already crowded. Did not take advantage of continental breakfast but the early AM coffee was very good! Easy on-off from Interstate. Will stay here again on our next trip north.
