Pretty much everything awful about this hotel has already been said. Definitely stay far far away unless you have a very tight budget and/or simply need a place to sleep for the night. The first thing I noticed on entering through the hotel's back entrance: the atrocious pool with mold and mildewy stuff clumping on the surface of the water. I would not be surprised if a few frogs have made their home there. When we got to our room the first thing we noticed was the smell of mildew, as if there had been water leaks for some time. The furniture was pretty outdated but the room was otherwise relatively clean aside from the dust immediately around the furniture. I admit I'm not really a neatfreak though, so the dust and dirt might really gross some other people out. We showed up for the included brunch at about 9:30 a.m. and found the dining room already cleaned up for the morning -- apparently we missed the memo that brunch ended at 9. The girl in the dining room did give us some apples and oranges to take to our room, but it was still disappointing.
New Bern is a great little city to spend a few hours in with some really great restaurants, but I'd advise not staying at the Days Inn.

This is worst Days Inn I have ever stayed in life. They had none of the accomodation they claimed to have such as a pool, wireless internet access in each room and a mini-refrigerator. There continental was a joke. They change the time of the continental breakfast from 6a-10am to 6am-9am without out notice. They also claimed to run out of food if you wanted to pay for breakfast. Some rooms didn't have closet doors. They ran out of towels and tea. The windows were filthy, no bed skirts to hide the pile of dust around the bed frames. The banquet room is a disater with water-stained walls and chairs with holes. Run from this Hotel. The owner is not helpful and neither is the manager. Runnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn!!!!!!!!!

My daughter and I picked this location because it was close to the airport in New Bern. The hotel as others have noted is in a bad section of New Bern. My daughter called it the "Project area". The check in went smoothly until the clerk wanted to know my cars location and asked me to move it closer to a light. The elevator was broken so we had to lug our suitcases to the 3rd floor. There were 3 locks on the door. The room seemed clean, but I had huge holes in my sheets. It was late at night so we really did not see the hotel. In the morning they had one elevator working, they had broken one man's wrist when he was stuck in the elevator. We did not have the free breakfast, and walked to our car, the pool was black and in bad shape, the hotel grounds were horrible. This place should be torn down and rebuilt. It was way below even one star. Do Not Stay Here!

My husband and I stay in Days Inn hotels because of their convenient pet policy...we love to travel with our dog and the Days Inn is one of the only hotels that still allow pets. This being said, we have stayed in numerous Days Inns and never had any problems...

The Days Inn in New Bern is located in "Historic Downtown"...meaning the not so great part of town....aka "The Hood". You can literally look out the front doors of the lobby and see the "projects" (government funded housing). We were told upon arrival that the hotel has 24 hour security guards on site at all times....thanks for that reassurance! That being said, I can say that our room was very clean, the staff was EXTREMELY polite and helpful, the resturant located inside of the hotel "The Sugarbear Bar and Grill" help pretty good food (3 out of 5 stars) and the room service that they offer is definately a plus!

Honestly, the only "flaw" this hotel has is the location...it appears that they are remodeling the hotel slowly as the lobby is very "trendy" and modern looking.... The rooms were comfortorable, clean but sparse...could of used some additionals, but it wasn't lacking. The mattress was comftorable, sheets were soft, and the bathroom was clean (although VERY small!) We didn't use the pool (it was too cold) but honestly, I don't think I would have even if it had been warm. The gate around the pool is literally falling over (they have it tied up with twine!) and the water looked grungy - although this could be because it was "off-season".

But, as the saying goes, you get what you pay for...I wouldnt go back there, but I didn't HATE every minute that I spent their either. All in all - I give it 5 on a scale of 1-10.
