Why Keene's

A Lodge That Actually
Cares About You

We're not a faceless chain. We're a local motel on a busy highway, and we know that travelers just want a honest place to rest their head. That's exactly what we give them.

Honest, Fair Pricing

No surprise fees, no last-minute charges. The price you see is the price you pay.

Clean, Well-Maintained Rooms

Every room is cleaned thoroughly and checked before a guest arrives. We take pride in that.

Friendly, Local Hospitality

Real people, real conversations. We treat every guest like a neighbor stopping by.

Perfect for Road Trips

I-40 access makes us an ideal overnight stop between Wilmington and the rest of the state.

"We were passing through and needed a place to crash. Keene's was clean, quiet, and the staff was incredibly kind. We'll definitely be back on our next trip through Richlands."
