Other Motels and Budget Hotels in Burlington

The Tripadvisor Burlington list names several more properties. These include Tru by Hilton, Microtel Inn and Suites by Wyndham, Affordable Suites, Motel 6, Econo Lodge, Knights Inn, OYO Hotel Burlington South, Royal Inn and Suites, and Embers Motor Lodge. The page shows names without addresses, so we could not verify each one.

Chain names help you search, but ownership and brands change. Look up the street address on a map, read recent guest reviews, and call the front desk before you book a budget motel. Ask about the total with taxes and fees.

The Alamance Hotel Is No Longer a Hotel

Older guides, including an earlier version of this page, list The Alamance Hotel as a Curio Collection property by Hilton. Do not plan a stay there. Local history sources say the building closed as a hotel in 1974. The Clio history site says the building later became a residence for senior citizens.

The building still stands at Maple Avenue and South Main Street in downtown Burlington. Architect Charles C. Hartmann designed the seven-story Classical Revival structure, and builders finished the work in 1924. The National Register of Historic Places listed the building in 1984. Visitors can walk past and study the terra cotta trim and the brick parapet from the sidewalk.

We also removed The O.Henry Hotel. Its own site gives the address as 624 Green Valley Road in Greensboro, not Burlington. A Greensboro stay works as a fallback, but the hotel does not belong on a Burlington list.

Where to Stay Near Elon University and Burlington Attractions

Several hotels sit close to Elon University. Best Western Plus, Courtyard, and Country Inn and Suites all describe a short trip to campus in their listings. Check a map for current drive times before graduation weekends, because campus events fill rooms.

Alamance Battleground State Historic Site is at 5803 NC 62 South in Burlington. Call 336-227-4785. The state lists hours of 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., Tuesday through Saturday. The site closes on Sunday, Monday, and state holidays. Admission is free, and guided tours carry a small fee. The site marks the 1771 clash between Regulator farmers and Governor William Tryon’s militia and holds the Allen House, a log dwelling.

Burlington City Park on South Main Street holds the Menagerie Carousel. Dentzel Carousel Company of Philadelphia built the carousel in 1913. The ride has 46 carved animals and two chariots, and the National Register of Historic Places listed the carousel in 1982. An Elon University guide also lists miniature trains, boat rides, a splash park, and an aquatic center at City Park. Confirm seasonal hours with the city before you go.

Wet n Wild Emerald Pointe is a water park in Greensboro at 3910 South Holden Road. Older guides placed the park in Burlington. Treat the park as a Greensboro day trip, not a Burlington stop.

Getting to Burlington and Where Else to Stay

Burlington sits along Interstate 85 and 40. Piedmont Triad International Airport lies about 24 miles west, according to Travel Weekly. Raleigh-Durham International Airport lies roughly 42 miles southeast, according to a meetings listing. Plan to rent a car, since the hotels spread out along the highway corridor.

If Burlington hotels fill up, Greensboro has far more rooms and sits within the same highway corridor. Check a map for current driving times and traffic.

How to Choose Between Hotels and Motels in Burlington

Families do well at Hampton Inn and Suites or Holiday Inn Express. Both list a free hot breakfast, a pool, and rooms with a refrigerator or a microwave. Hampton also lists connecting rooms.

Business travelers should look at Drury, Courtyard, and Best Western Plus. Each lists meeting space, and each sits near Interstate 85 and 40. Drury adds an evening reception.

Pet owners have several choices. Drury, Hampton, Holiday Inn Express, and Best Western Plus all list pet access with fees or limits. Country Inn and Suites and Super 8 do not allow pets. Confirm the policy by phone, because fees and size limits change.

Budget travelers can compare Super 8 and the other motels. Read recent reviews and call each property for the total with taxes and fees.

Before you pay, confirm the property name on the building, the cancellation policy, parking, breakfast hours, and the front desk hours for late arrivals. Prices shift by date, so compare the total on two booking sites and by phone.

We could not confirm current rates, pool dates, or pet fees. Amenities and policies differ between listings. We found only one detailed source for Super 8, and we could not verify the other motels on the Tripadvisor list. Phone the property and confirm each detail before you travel.
