William and Garland Motel is beside the Big Oak Drive-In, home of the famous shrimpburger. We're impressed by this motel because it's so tidy, and, in the shade of live oaks, it always looks cool, even on the hottest days. The motel is a family facility and has lots of repeat business. A free night's stay is offered with a week's stay. The two-story brick motel offers easy beach access, a pool, a luxurious lawn area and a restaurant.
Guest rooms have refrigerators and double or king-size beds.
Meeting rooms are available for conferences or gatherings. The Parkerton Inn is on the mainland just north of the intersection of N.C. highways 58 and 24. Guests may choose any of several room arrangements, including kitchenette efficiencies and rooms equipped for the handicapped. Standard rooms have two queen-size beds. The outdoor pool is a popular spot.
