Acceptable Hotels Near Ft. Bragg

Thanks as well. You guys just saved my son from having to argue with me about staying at his apt when I go to take furniture to him.

The keys to the answer to your question is how much to you plan on spending per night, the amenities the hotel has, entertainment/night life around the hotel and easy access to Ft Bragg.

The Cross Creek Mall area has at least 4 motels, and another one off around Sycamore Dairy Road. There are a number of places to eat just a couple of blocks away on McPherson Church Rd.

Other hotels can be found out by the Crown and the Hwy 53/210 & I-95 Exit but are a long haul in by taxi.

I would not consider the Mall area to be dangerous - just a little rude.

Spring Lake - well, Spring Lake is Spring Lake. After hours intertainment is somewhat limited.

Was just curious if the above info is still valid???

Executing plans to visit the AO next month, and heard about a bar...that should be on the itenerary? ( Cannot remember the name)

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Places to stay:
Embassy Suites just opened. 3rd Group had the ball there. It is nice, centrally located, and in a decent part of Fayetteville.

All the stuff on Sycamore Dairy between McPherson and Morganton is relatively new, in a decent part of town, and reasonably priced.

I'd stay away from the stuff immediately around the mall. Most of it is older and not very well maintained.

I am not much help on bars...

About 3 months ago we stayed at the Extended Stay at AA Exp. way and Walter Reed Rd. It was not luxurious accommodations and it was older but we survived it. AA Exp way is the civilian entrance gate.

The 316 Oyster Bar and Grill is across the street. You can read the reviews and decide for your self. It is a family place so you should not be afraid to go alone if you decide you want to.

Holly you should be OK at Charley Mikes solo. They are some pretty decent guys down there... and the best Thai food in town is right next door

If you are going out alone, just be situationally aware. Although this isn't Hell's Kitchen or Compton, there have been rapes in the Ramsey street area and females who have gone missing from local pubs. Just use good common sense and you should be fine.

Bob that place isn't so bad. Good access to the hospital and post and right across the street from a Starbucks (gotta love that).

Did an expedition to Bragg two summers ago with family and crew. Be sure to visit the 82d Airborne and the Special Forces museums on post allow 90 minutes for each. Do not skip the Special Operations museum in downtown Fayetteville. Allow at least 2 hours.

Note that across Hay street from the S.O. museum is now a series of store fronts. Back in many-of-our days - formerly, these store fronts were piss-beer bars and topless clubs open every evening including holidays. Remarkable transformation.
