What guests say
9.8 / 10 · Exceptional on Booking.com, from 262 guest reviews
The Harvey is an exceptionally well-regarded boutique property in New Bern, earning near-universal praise for its stunning historic décor, immaculate cleanliness, and prime walkable location near the waterfront and convention center. The keyless e-hotel model works smoothly and remote staff responsiveness is consistently highlighted. Minor but recurring niggles include the absence of an elevator, small showers, no included breakfast, limited in-room coffee provisions, and a confusing TV system.
