Hello, we usually stop at Lumberton or Fayettville when we drive back to NY. However, it takes 7 hrs to Lumberton and 10 hours after that to NY. I was wondering whether there are better place to stop 1 -2 hours north of Fayetteville or Lumberton.

Cheers!

Last time we went to DC to visit our kids we drove to the top of NC about 600 miles and stopped in Roanoke Rapids I think but it was 600 miles from here.

Where in NY are you going?

Going north or south we shot for the Virginia/North Carolina boarder to stop coming from or to Mass.

We lived in Northwest NJ, so roughly 2.5 hours once you cross the Delaware Memorial bridge. Similar to people traveling to NY.

Going north, we've stayed as far south as Rocky Mount and as far north as just past Richmond.

The hotels north of Richmond start going downhill quickly so you have to choose wisely.

If we don't have a dog, we stay in the Holiday Inn express in Petersburg.

If we do have a dog, we stay in the Quality Inn in Ashland.

You need to drive a little further north. Fayetteville and Lumberton have very high violent crime rates. Per capita they are usually #1 & 2 in the state of NC.

Rocky Mount NC or Fredericksburg VA if you can make it that far

Selma, NC is another place to try... Exit #95 0n I-95...

When I used to drive home to Boston it was always on weekends, left around 6 am drove to Rocky Mt , arrived Sunday afternoon in Boston.,I’ve gotten smarter the last 10 years , I hardly used the car when home , so now I just fly and walk everywhere, if a car is really needed I can Uber or borrow one

We got here last night after our two day 1,360 mile drive from western MA. We take the NY through way to 84 to 81 to 77 to 26 to 95. Our pet friendly half way stop is in Christiansburg, VA. FYI, it was the easiest ride ever, traffic was unusually light, perhaps due to high gas prices?

I'm from Mass and both my kids went to VT. Beautiful ride on 81 but only when there isn't a chance of snow, rain or fog. Driving north from the Villages we stick to 95 and have stopped in Rocky Mount NC, Ashland VA, Fredericksburg VA and Stafford VA. We have a dog so we are limited in our hotel options.

If you will sleep in Lumberton you will sleep anywhere. Why ask?
