    My ceiling view from my bed.

    IT'S A NO FOR ME! We stayed here rather than near downtown New Bern to save a little money. But yuck. Lobby isn't bad. Though we found no one at the desk 3 times in 3 days. They were off for smoke breaks so we had to search for them. But the room was the real reason for only 2 stars. It was dingy and old and dated and basically kinda gross. Poorly maintained. After we were there 2 days, we requested room be made up. We were told they only serviced rooms once per week. Again, kinda gross. Though you could request fresh towels.

    I enjoyed my stay here. The beds were comfortable with two types of firmness. The room was clean and it had a lot of great kitchen amenities. The location is very easy to find and around a lot of things if you are here for work. This is not a destination stay hotel. Another perk is free laundry services. Rooms could use updating and the general feel of the building needs updated, too. Overall, for the price definitely a nice place.

    I thoroughly enjoyed my stay here for tha two nites I waz here. Customer service is on point! All tha staff from late night to daytime is caring and attentive and they truly care that ur happy. They offer a free cookie upon check in and they have a pretty decent dvd collection for your viwing pleasure. And by tha way, there is no porn ... Tha rooms are mini suites with a fully stocked kitchin. Just bring ur food n drinks. Many residents are long term and I luv the interaction between them n staff. This is also a pet friendly establishment. For a small fee, U will be accommodated. Triqxee approved and recommended!!

    Baxter’s 1892 - mac n cheese with a mystery meat when I ordered short rib

    Baxter’s 1892

    Was our special occasion splurge for our trip here in New Bern…read more Get on their events calendar quick if you want to reserve seating to see their evening live music. Beautiful, jazzy, Art Deco space. They had wonderful cocktails to choose from, cold draft beers, a big wine list, and very interesting food. We felt like just tapas, we got the empanadas and the "naked" egg rolls. We also got one order of smoked mac and cheese. The empanadas were too hard. I wish they were a little softer, but the egg rolls were delicious, and the mac and cheese was shockingly good. Probably the best I ever had. They have these really cool individual rooms that you can rent with friends if you want to make a special night of feeling like you're in a different world back in time. Definitely worth a visit.

    It's been a couple years since my last review and there's a new chef at the helm. I was glad to…read moresee he kept the old favorites (the burger, egg rolls, etc.) but the menu is much larger now. We enjoyed the watermelon carpaccio, fried green tomatoes, garden risotto with added shrimp. Everything was very good. The tomato portion was enormous and the beer batter was crispy and light. The risotto? It wasn't really risotto, it was more like a creamy rice but it was delicious. And those shrimp were big, juicy and tasted like they just came out of the sea. The watermelon, though, was a shocker. It was grilled! It had a really great smoky flavor that was totally unexpected and the dressing was light and fresh. We always sit at the bar and the service is always on point.

    Hampton Inn New Bern - Guest room

    As a Hilton Diamond member, I found this property somewhat disappointing given the nightly rate of…read moreover $200. The hotel appears to have been recently updated, and the renovations are appreciated. However, the guest rooms are quite small, and housekeeping is only provided every other day. At this price point, I would expect daily housekeeping service as a standard amenity. My biggest concern was the pool area. While the water itself was clear, there was visible mold and organic growth around the interior surfaces of the pool, giving the impression that routine professional pool maintenance is not being performed. This significantly detracted from the overall guest experience. The complimentary breakfast was mediocre at best, which unfortunately has become increasingly common across the Hampton Inn brand. The offerings felt heavily processed, particularly the omelets, and there were few healthier alternatives available. Even simple items such as hard-boiled eggs were absent. The chicken sausage was also an unusual choice that seemed out of touch with the preferences of many guests. Overall, the hotel met my basic lodging needs, but it fell short of the expectations associated with both the Hampton Inn brand and its price point. With greater attention to maintenance, housekeeping, and breakfast quality, ownership and management could significantly improve the guest experience.

    This place is an active construction site. The workers start early in the morning, so if your…read moreflight got delayed and you got in late and slightly jet lagged, you can forget about sleeping in. There is not adequate parking because they have taken up most of the lot with storage containers and heavy machinery (although the VIP parking spaces are not blocked, just not available for you unless you're whatever status). There is no place to fill up a water bottle because they were installing the new fountain (see the exposed wiring in the picture). The fitness center is covered with construction materials, so there's no way to use that. If you had hoped to use the conference room, that's also filled with construction materials, but don't worry, they didn't put a "Do Not Enter" sign, so come on in I guess. There was no one at the front desk for most of the day, which left one of our group waiting for over 15 minutes to check in. Breakfast starts at 6, but the day we left (a Sunday) there was no coffee. I waiting until 6:20 before giving up on that. There is coffee in the room (enough for one person, not two), and they give you a bottle of water when you check in. Look, I understand that the place wants to stay open while doing renovations. Can't let the stockholders take a loss, amirite? But for the SUBSTANTIAL cost of the room, one would expect the amenities that are advertised to be available, or at least to not have to park at the hotel next door and walk across the grass. Six thumbs down.
