We checked in very late and they gave us the bed and breakfast that is across the street from their main house. They let us have use of the entire house. They were so very accommodating...we were in awe. I would highly recommend The Aerie Bed and Breakfast to anyone. I have stayed at several 5 star facilities and it deserved 5 stars all around.

The room was very clean. The hosts went above and beyond to accommodate any needs and make our stay a pleasant experience. A beautiful table was set for breakfast and it did not disappoint. It was delicious! I highly recommend staying in this property.

Such a beautiful property. My daughter and I used the game room for relaxing. I really enjoyed the breakfast and meeting/talking with the owners. They were very friendly and helpful. I would defiantly choose the inn at oriental anytime visit this area. You can walk the entire town from the location. I walked to the deli, coffee shop, river and the marina. Driving the short distance to New Bern was also a treat. Very cute town.

We arrived very late, 12:30 AM, and were greeted by Felicia, the warmest, genuine, empathetic welcome. I was so impressed that after I parked, I brought my mom to the front desk just to meet Felicia. We were in town for a funeral and had traveled the whole way in heavy rain.
For breakfast we were blessed with Delarena. She was so kind and simply genuine. She helped us with anything we wanted and listened, really listened to us explain why we were there. She did not invade our personal...

The hotel is within walking distance of historic areas, shops, and restaurants. There is a nice park right next to the hotel. We wish we had discovered the river walk to town sooner--it is an attraction in itself. The only improvement needed is a more varied menu for the hotel bistro--especially for vegetarians. Overall, a wonderful place to stay--we would definitely return!

We celebrated our 13th anniversary in New Bern, NC and stayed in the Josephine room at Meadows Inn. The trip was wonderful and the Meadows Inn, a dream. We arrived midday on Saturday and were graciously allowed to check in upon arrival. Betty provided a map and some general inforation about New Bern, then showed us our room, the Josephine, which was exactly as I imagined. Spacious and comfortable, with simple timeless decor. In the afternoon, we had lunch at The Chelsea, then searched for...
