The Inn at Oriental has been our home away from home since 2015. Conveniently located within walking distance to the brewery, Old Theater, waterfront, shops, and restaurants. Kudos to the new owners for the recent uprades and continuing a tradition of friendly service and hospitality. Good folk! We always enjoy our stay at the Inn. In short, we will be going back! read more

Bed was old innerspring mattress with no pillow top and plastic under sheets. 18 inch computer monitor for TV, no closet, 10 inch trip hazard step into bathroom, no cup or glass at all in bathroom or room. We were the only people there, no oelwners, no Brody, no one else, no great breakfast, told to go to the deli down the street to get a sandwich. Total disappointment. These review are like the Twilight Zone without Rod Sterling. Maybe caught them at a bad time. But beware. New Bern, the next day was wonderful and so was Edenton. read more

We loved this B&B! Kate, the owner, was really hospitable. Her dog, Brody, was also adorable! They have pet friendly rooms so our dog loved her dog too. The rooms were nice and clean. The common areas are cozy and charming. They have games you can play in the sunroom too. The B&B is walking distance to a lot - brewery next door, wine bar, restaurants, and the waterfront. We loved our breakfast and the woman who made our breakfast was really nice too and the food was delicious! Highly recommend! We would stay here again if we were in Oriental again. read more

We stayed at this awesome B&B over Memorial Day weekend. We had a very large party and Kate was able to accommodate all of us. What a lovely place, so much character, every room has its own uniqueness. Breakfast was amazing everyday. Kate and her mom Bonita did a great job having many food options available to please everyone. We had such a great time here and highly recommend staying here if you're looking for a peaceful getaway. Thanks Kate, Dusty and Bonita for hosting our Crew! read more

The Inn At Oriental - Hotels Near Me - Oriental, North Carolina

The Oriental Inn was a perfect place for stay while solo traveling. I happened to be in the area and needed a few nights rest and I could not have been happier. I found out later that it is under new ownership, and was quite surprised. Mrs Kate is so warm and knowledgeable about the area I thought she had been here/the owner for years. The room I stayed in was very spacious and comfortable. If you find your self this way you need to go see Mrs. Kate at the Oriental. You won't be disappointed. True southern hospitality still exists. I am already booked for next year when I'll be back this way! Pictures of my beautiful room, sunroom to relax, read or have coffee in the morning and the adorable check in area. read more

Wonderful getaway very peaceful and relaxing. Bonita was such a delight and so very attentive to our needs. We stayed in the Nantucket, we would definitely recommend this room, very spacious and comfortable. Sonny and Patti read more

The Inn at Oriental provided the most relaxing and tranquil experience. Kate and Dustin, the innkeepers went above and beyond to take great care of us. From the moment we were greeted and checked in, the hospitality and intentional presence was abundant. The rooms and property are phenomenally designed and create the mood perfect for the Bed and Breakfast experience. The bed itself was one of the most cozy and the breakfast was a wonderful selection. The freshly baked bread was still warm and such pleasant treat. We live in Morehead City, so just a short ferry ride away, but we felt like we were in a quaint movie setting. I can't wait to visit again! read more

We couldn't have found a better place to stay in Oriental. The room was very comfortable and spotlessly clean. Kate was a perfect hostess who welcomed us upon arrival. The coffee and breakfasts were delicious with a varied menu. We had only planned one night, but as plans can and do change, stayed for three nights. Our previous stay had been with the former owners, so we were glad to see that the Inn is in very good hands for the future. read more

loved our stay! Wonderful breakfasts and such kind owners. Oriental is our new favorite place and we wouldn't stay anywhere else.

The Inn at Oriental is beautiful, and so is the city in general. It's very close to the beach and you can do shopping and eating out very easily. Lou and Lucy are very kind and welcoming and they serve a great breakfast in the morning. I loved having a spacious room with a private patio. I recommend this place to anyone. read more

Lucy & Lou are are the penultimate in hosts. Like they knew what we'd desire before we knew it!

The Best Bed and Breakfast!! They even offer Happy Hour at 5:00pm!! Hospitality was WONDERFUL AND VERY CLEAN!! read more

I had to attend a wedding in the small town of Oriental, NC this weekend and was in need of a place to stay. The groom, who is a good friend of mine, recommended The Inn at Oriental as a place to reside in for the weekend. I took his advice, and I am very glad I did! (Thanks Nick lol). This was a nice, clean, quiet place to relax, get some good rest, freshen up, and even get a good breakfast for a day, or in my case, two! The Inn at Oriental is located right in Church street and is very spacious! They have plenty of parking for their residence, and they can accommodate for just about any time of arrival! I had a 4 hour drive ahead of me, and didn't get there until 8pm and Mrs Lucy was right there waiting on me with a smile and welcomed me with open arms! She showed me to my room, the Nantucket, where I stayed at, and it was more than I could have ever asked for! It had a TV, a queen size bed, a very nice bathroom, with all the toiletries like soap, shampoo, and lotion! Mrs Lucy was very, very welcoming and informative of everything I needed to know which I was very impressed with! She also told me about the things to do in the town, and gave me a map of the area, so I had a idea of what stuff to explore while I was there for the entire weekend! You get a key for your room, and a card as well so if you lock yourself out, you can't contact them at anytime for that or any other reason as they are always available! The breakfast was awesome as well! How they do it is they have a list of breakfast items you can choose from, and you circle the ones you want for the following morning as well as the time you want to eat breakfast and you hang it outside of your door on this nail. Mrs Lucy, and her husband, Mr Lou (who cooks breakfast) will pick it up sometime in the morning, and you will have it served to you on the spot when you go into the dining area! The service was top notch and it was really quiet, which made for a nice relaxing breakfast! They offering the following items: coffee, tea, water, oranges juice, pancakes, fried eggs, scrambled eggs, toast, biscuits, sausage, bacon, oatmeal, fruit and granola! A lot to choose from, and I usually got everything on the list lol. They charge $99 per night for ANY room, and you can stay only one night if you need to. That's a great deal compared to other bed and breakfasts which range in the $150+ range and want two nights minimum from you! They take cash, check, or credit cards which is awesome! Check out was super easy as I just packed up, gave them my key, and headed it out back home! I would highly recommend this place to ANYONE going to Oriental, NC! Mr Lou and Mrs Lucy are two of the nicest, and most professional people I have ever met, and if I am ever back in the area, I know where I will be staying at! read more

A lovely quaint sea side community to relax and kick back. Love the Inn at Oriental and it's kind proprietors. Rooms are beautiful, food is good and music is fine. A true delight read more

Beautiful place. Good parking, Beautiful rooms. The proprietress came out to the parking area to welcome us. We had a great room, that turned out to be a suite. I think it used to be their garage, because it is a free-standing structure in the parking lot. Very well appointed, comfortable bed, kitchenette, separate living area. Nice furniture and décor. The dining room is very well appointed with fine china. The breakfast was absolutely wonderful, and service superb. Coming back. Sending all my friends! read more

We were lucky enough to have a family reunion in Oriental, NC and even better, had the pleasure of staying at the Inn at Oriental. Lou and Lucy were wonderful hosts and made our stay so enjoyable. After a very happy happy hour and pleasant a walk around town, we slept like babies in the ever so comfortable and beautifully furnished bedrooms. The beds were SO comfortable. Lou's home cooked breakfasts were delicious and the variety of food available made everyone in our party happy. Fresh fruit, yogurt, oatmeal, granola, eggs, bacon, sausage, pancakes were available to all, but the best thing on the breakfast menu were the home made biscuits. Lucy and Lou have done a fabulous job upgrading the Inn and there are plenty of rooms that can meet the needs of a couple, a family or a bunch of friends looking for a very special place to spend the weekend. The Inn at Oriental is a place I would highly recommend and return to, family reunion or not. Oriental is a very special place on earth and Lucy and Lou and the Inn make it even better. Thanks for a GREAT weekend! read more

My wife and I just returned from a trip to Oriental and we stayed at this wonderful establishment. This was our first experience with a B&B, and we were blown away with how gracious and accommodating the owners were and how peaceful and comfortable our stay was. We had originally booked a room for a Saturday night. We were attending a wedding (The Stallings House is a great venue for a wedding btw) At the last minute, we decided to head on down to Oriental that Friday so we could spend a little more time enjoying the town and join our friends for some pre-wedding festivities. Our room was available that night, and Lucy was very nice to communicate with during the booking process. We arrived around five and after checking in and getting our room keys were invited to join everyone on the screened in patio to enjoy a cocktail hour. We were given a map of the town and a short rundown of what was around Oriental. I thought that was a very nice touch and we felt very welcomed. We stayed in the Boothbay room. If you think you may be in and out or possibly out late, this is a great room as it has it's own access from the exterior of the building. It's also a pet friendly room. The bed was very comfortable and the linens were of a very nice quality. The towels that were provided in the bathroom were also of a very nice quality and there were hand soaps, shampoos, and lotions available for use. The room was extremely clean, had cable television, and it's own AC/heating unit. My only complaint, and it is a minor one, is that there wan't much water pressure in the shower. I loved the breakfast. The quality of the food was a surprise, to be honest. It's far better than any hotel breakfast I've ever had. Mr. Lou is a fine cook, that's for sure. The bacon was thick and cooked perfectly and the eggs were delightfully creamy. We selected our choices for food and time of service the night before and we arrived were promptly given service that would rival that of many fine restaurants. The whole experience was wonderful and Oriental is just a charming little town. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Inn and I feel sure that we will return. If you want a laid back, quiet, and comfortable place to stay I would highly recommend giving the Inn a try. read more

I really liked the details in this place. The couple that owns the Inn are so sweet and will give you the best conversation you've had with strangers. The town is small and perfect for a weekend getaway to a tucked away location. I recommend pushing aside all of your hotel wants and visit this cute little bed and breakfast. But beware, the town is so chill that you might end up moving there :) read more

Lucy and Lou are the best bnb hosts I've yet to encounter, they were incredibly accommodating and are genuinely good people. I will definitely be stopping by to say hello the next time I'm in Oriental. If you're trying to decide where to stay give Lucy and Lou a try you will be very glad you did! read more

I have stayed here a half dozen or so times, and have never been disappointed! It is lovely. The rooms are clean and comfortable. The innkeepers--Lou and Lucy--could not be nicer or more welcoming. It is a great location--you can walk everywhere in this little village. Breakfast is delicious and cooked to order. I highly recommend the Inn at Oriental! read more

The Inn at Oriental was the best. My wife and I visited Oriental for a weekend jaunt and stumbled upon the Inn on yelp. The yelp reviews set expectations lofty and the quaint bed and breakfast met the hype. Lucy and Lou were authentic hosts and I will certainly stay there again in the future. From their taste in college athletics to beautiful decor, Lucy, Lou and their establishment will satisfy. Thumbs way up!! read more

My band and I stayed at the inn for just a night but would absolutely return! The hosts were super accomodating and friendly, the rooms were clean and comfortable, and the breakfast was delicious and homemade!!! We missed Happy Hour but heard it was really nice :-) The Inn at Oriental is a wonderful place, and we will most definitely be back... read more

Our stay at the Inn at Oriental was absolutely perfect. Lucy, the proprietor and host, was incredibly nice and helpful. She greeted us as we pulled in and got us settled comfortably into our room. We stayed in the Nantucket because we had our two dogs with us. The room was beautifully appointed, the mattress was comfortable, and there were lovely little touches throughout that will make you feel as if you're staying in a room that costs much more. We were able to bring our dogs with no question, just an additional pet fee, which was very reasonable. We were treated to a full breakfast the next morning and it was delicious. Oriental is a lovely, small town and everyone is very friendly. It is a peaceful place to spend a night or a few days. The Inn at Oriental is an absolute gem and if you're going to be in this part of North Carolina, treat yourself to a stay here. read more

My husband and I stayed at the Inn while we were in town for Thanksgiving and we couldn't have been more happy with our stay. Our room was beautiful and clean. If there was ever anything we needed Lucy was able to help us. The owners are so welcoming and helpful. We felt right at home. The breakfast was always delicious as well. The location of the inn is perfect for a stay in Oriental. read more

My husband and I spent three nights at this lovely inn recently and left feeling renewed. The innkeepers, Lucy and Lou, were delightful and very knowledgeable about what to see and do in the area, as well as special places to visit along the way back home. They served wonderful breakfasts to order and offered wines and cheeses in the afternoons. The inn was clean, exceptionally quiet, beautifully decorated and very well located in the town - everything was walkable. The inn offers three rooms for pets with direct outside access, so we were able to bring our dog, who also had a wonderful time. read more

If you're traveling to Oriental you must stay here. The owners are down to earth and will treat you like family. Our room was comfortable, clean, and spacious. The bed and linens were of high quality and I slept like a baby. Breakfast was superb, it rivals any breakfast I've ever had at an inn, hotel, or restaurant. We didn't order the chocolate pancakes, but saw some other patrons with them and were envious. Still, the fruit cup, coffee, eggs, bacon, biscuits, and sausage were all divine. This is a place that cares about what they are serving. Don't miss out on happy hour from 5-6 and enjoy a drink with the owners and other guests. We had a great time meeting everyone and felt so at home. We will certainly return! Thank you, Lucy and Lou! read more

We had an amazing stay at this Inn. It was a great location and the breakfast was probably some of the best I've ever had. The rooms were so cozy and clean! Definitely recommend this place. read more
