We picked this hotel for a weekday trip to Beaufort and New Bern and the location was perfect for that. The hotel is located in a commercial area very near the Marine Corps Air Station. It is set a ways back from the road so you do not hear much traffic and I did not notice any plane noise inside the room. The check in clerk was pleasant and gave me a corner room on the top floor as requested. Although it was a Monday the hotel was pretty full. Most of the guests appeared to be workers since there were lots of trucks in the parking lot. The room was large but somewhat dated. The furniture was chipped and the TV was an outdated plasma model. Strangely, there was no toilet paper holder in the bathroom. The biggest negative was the huge dent in the king bed (see photo). If I was not by myself I would have had to change rooms. The breakfast was good and included hot items.
