Overnight lodgings in New Bern present a delightful variety of vantages from which visitors may enjoy the town. The river city has several major hotels silhouetting its skyline and a number of excellent bed and breakfast inns. One inn is said to be inhabited by a friendly ghost, but if you're seeking less spiritual digs, you may choose from a nice variety of options. Many visitors choose the advantages of packages that offer discounted rates at lodgings and golf courses or dinner plans and a therapeutic massage. Hotels positioned along the city's picturesque waterfront offer lovely views of the Trent and Neuse rivers, and a number of economy and budget motels are near the downtown or outlying commercial areas. Cozy and architecturally interesting bed and breakfast inns are sprinkled throughout the historic district (see our New Bern Bed and Breakfast Inns chapter). The alphabetical listing of hotels, motels and condos in this section is not intended to recommend one lodging over another. We feel comfortable recommending all of the accommodations listed in this chapter.
