"I have been coming here for years, and the restaurant renovation is absolutely fabulous. The updated space looks wonderful; however, the service, particularly the breakfast service, continues to be disappointing.
Every time we stay, we order omelets or over-easy eggs, and the wait is extremely long. The bacon is also consistently served soaking in grease. I keep telling my husband that it will improve, but unfortunately it has not.
For such a beautiful hotel, especially considering how busy the restaurant gets on Saturdays and Sundays, there should be at least two cooks working during peak breakfast hours. On Sunday, June 21, 2026, the cook on duty seemed to have no sense of urgency despite the large number of guests waiting to be served.
The hotel itself is wonderful, but the breakfast experience needs significant improvement to match the quality of the property."
"Helpful/friendly staff, clean room, comfy bed, great shower, efficient laundry, yummy breakfast, warm cookies offered every afternoon, Hot coffee in the lobby, great location-short drive to historic downtown for shopping, eateries, coffee shops, historic homes, wonderful trolley tour, lovely view of Edenton Bay from Colonial Park."
"All staff were professional, friendly and helpful. Room and bathroom were clean. Poorly designed toilet paper holder was a bit frustrating as the tube kept getting hung up on the two prongs and would cease to turn until being centered again between the two prongs, only to slightly shift again requiring yet another realignment. The two chairs in the room (one a rolling desk chair and the other one a causal chair) were very uncomfortable. The seats in both were very hard and sitting in either one for a hour was not an experience either one of us had in any other hotel room seating. Had to get up frequently from either chair. Hotel is slightly further from road than some other hotels in the area, and not in the busiest parts of Elizabeth City, this helped us get a quiet, restful sleep. The hotel is convenient to several restaurants. We did not try all the breakfast items, so we can only speak to what we had during our stay. The coffee was actually quite good. The muffins offered were OK. The choice of bagels were nice. The scrambled eggs and sausage were very good. Juice choices were nice. Bonus points for having chocolate milk available (one of us likes to put in their morning coffee when it’s available). If we are in the area again, we would definitely stay again."
