What a gem! The lovely decor both in the lobby and room was so fun. The 70s vibe while old, all of the furnishings were new and very clean. Staff is friendly and helpful. Bed was very comfortable and sheets very soft. The pool was a lot of fun and having grills, putt putt, ping pong, shuffleboard and swings were nice options. So many great walkable dining options. Mother Earth Brewery (obviously) fantastic and Jay’s 108 was amazing and worth the drive alone. We only live 20 mins away and can’t wait to come back here!

Stayed to catch a baseball game at Grainger. First time here. Excellent price. Cooler vintage property with mini golf, pool, outdoor ping pong, and a generally retro aesthetic. Standard room with king sized bed is a little small, but perfect for one night swinging through Kinston. Set AC to lowest temp (who doesn’t), but room ran a little warm all night. Nonetheless, excellent value, good location, easy to get around downtown Kinston. Would definitely stay again.
