Courtyard by Marriott Riverfront New Bern

Great location

A bit pricey for the area

The outdoor area is gorgeous!

It would be nice if it was more of a bar/ restaurant not incorporated in the lobby, or if there was bar access outside.

Beautiful location and pool. The gazebo on the river is also a beautiful amenity. The hotel has gorgeous river views, and it is only a short walk to downtown and the neighboring park is very special. The Starbucks coffee served downstairs in The Bistro was a great bonus.

The odor on the 4th floor was terrible. It was in the room and the hallways. We had to go buy air freshener to cope with the odor. The refrigerator did not cool properly and the room needs a Keurig coffee maker. The next morning, we did ask about the odor and the front desk staff said that an air conditioning pipe was damaged and flooded the upstairs and that the odor came from that. I'm not sure why guests were placed on the 4th floor as the hotel did not appear to be full. We should have asked for a new room, but we were afraid the whole hotel smelled the same so we didn't bother. Otherwise, the hotel was lovely.

The staff were friendly and provided excellent customer service.

Not having room service at that price was disappointing. We have been to many hotels since covid that have regular room service every day.
