Travelling with a pet , the best place we found was the
Jameson Inn in Dunn Nc. Not all Jameson Inns are the same but this one received fairly good reviews on trip advisor (

and we stayed here in May 2011. Going rate is about $79 per night plus taxes plus $15 per pet. You can find discount rates for this hotel by picking up a travel/hotel magazine(Room saver or travel coupons) at the state rest stop and look for Dunn NC ..I think the coupon rate is $59. PLace was very clean, quiet,Bkfst, fairly easy on/off of Rte 95, and internet access. Local resturants were not easy to find but we did go to a decent steak house about 1 mile down the road.
You can stay in alot of "flea bags" that accept pets unless you want to go to a pet friendly hotel that charges a $100 pet fee. Dont get me wrong this is a discount hotel but it was good (better than good) for a one night layover.
