The stay started with the front desk giving another guest the same key as us and a young man started coming into our room. Worse was when I called desk they acted like it was no problem and that “ he’ll probably bring it back to us”. Really? I should count on that? Then we didn’t get service one day so ran out of tp, no clean towels and when I called I was told they had no staff to bring us tp. All this and restaurant was closed for repairs which the hotel failed to inform us of prior to our stay. All in all I w

The hotel is in a beautiful location by the river, very walkable and pleasant and close to nice restaurants and coffee shops. But the hotel itself offers little out of the ordinary. The restaurant was closed and furnishings like towels are old. Three mounted bottles of conditioner in the shower, no shampoo or soap. Why?

Front desk staff was great, particularly Justin, who worked the night front desk. He was so funny and kind, had great recommendations for local coffee and dinner. Jennifer in the restaurant during breakfast was also great! I’ll be traveling to New Bern regularly for work and will definitely be staying here again!
