Spacious room - very clean
Susan O.

This is a great place to stay! The room I had was very clean and spacious. Walking distance to the river and downtown. Perfect location!

Breakfast table
Aimee N.

The owners take great pride in their investment here. There so many fun trinkets and although not all of it while my style I appreciated every bit of it. They have a fully stocked fridge with sodas and snack and hot tea/coffee. I have to say breakfast was the best part. Oh my goodness! It was divine. I asked for some salsa with it and it added even more of a delight. You do share a family table with others staying there so one must be ok with that. My room was spotless and the bed was comfy. The location is nice for being right downtown New Bern. This was a quaint, charming place with a lot of love put into it.

Dairy free avocado, spinach, tomato, potato & mushroom bake! Dairy-free hollandaise. Melon with balsamic vinegar, house-made biscotti
Lisa B.

This was close by the convention center, where an Oktoberfest was being held--the reason for staying here. The room was comfortable, with a low speed ceiling fan; But the highlight was an exquisite (no dairy!) gourmet breakfast, with house-made biscotti and heavenly coffee! For anyone with special dietary needs: this is the place to stay. Also, 2 lovely porch swings for evening relaxing.

The Jarvis at 220 - Historic wedding venue and event center in the heart of downtown New Bern, NC

We live about an hour from New Bern. My wife and I like to get away for nearby weekend coastal…read moredestinations every couple of months to loosen up the grind of work. New Bern has become a regular favorite out of our visits to Beaufort, Edenton, Oriental and Wilmington (used to live there). All of those places are worth a visit. Don't get me wrong. We have stayed at neighboring B&Bs near The Jarvis. So far, there is no comparison. We have also stayed at the chain hotels there. If you go to New Bern, The Jarvis is a place you should consider first. You'll get extremely personalized service from Ian, the innkeeper. He slightly reprimanded me for fetching my own coffee on our last morning there. The Jarvis is a destination venue for wedding parties. We expected the sleeping hours might get a little loud and we were prepared for it. However, it was remarkably quiet in the wee hours and the bed may be the most comfortable I have ever slept on. We both came home well rested. I won't go into the cool amenities, but you need to check out 'The Cellar Door' in the basement. We spent a couple of fun hours there during the rain storm that hit while we were there. Highly recommended! We will definitely return.

Lovely quiet place very accessible to all the shopping and dining nearby…read more The downside was that there was no one on duty to ask question about the area! No breakfast either!

There's no way I would've ever stayed there again but apparently this is the way they deal with complaints so do yourself a favor and just keep looking elsewhere. We booked for 2 nights for our family reunion and have stayed here multiple times in the past with no problems whatsoever. Well, they must be under new management because they have gone way downhill. The first room we were assigned had a broken AC unit. Maintenance was supposed to come fix it but never did. The room smelled horrible like mildew and multiple stains on the carpet (I'd be willing to bet this hotel has been flooded but not repaired). We were eventually moved to another room only to discover that the door didn't fully lock. We had to use the latch to even feel somewhat secure. Other family members stayed in other rooms in the hotel and they had similar issues with rooms in poor condition. These rooms need some SERIOUS repairs and some TLC. It's UNETHICAL to keep collecting money for rooms that you KNOW are not up to par! Also, someone kept propping open the back door with a rock. I moved it several times and it seems like this is a common practice because no one else seemed concerned, yet it is extremely UNSAFE for obvious reasons. We also noticed that some of the staff brought their young children to work with them. I know times are hard but this is unsafe and likely an OSHA violation. So many disappointments. It felt like we were staying at a Motel 6 or Super 8. This is not the Comfort Suites that we had grown to love over the years and certainly not what I paid for or expected. It is obvious that there has been a change in management and/or ownership since the last time we stayed there and no one seems to care that they are ruining the Comfort Suites brand. We will NOT be staying again.
