Harmony House Inn

They are under new management, new owners for about 2 months. The place is wonderful, we had a delightful anniversary/Valentine’s Day weekend. They were wonderful about the reservations, we loved the room. I have serious eating allergies and they went above and beyond to accommodate my allergies; even bought special food just for me. The breakfasts are divine — Eggs Benedict with smoked salmon and homemade pineapple zucchini bread one morning; homemade banana muffins and Dutch Baby pancakes the other morning. Fresh fruit both mornings. Bed was wonderful, furnishings beautiful. We will definitely be back.

Charged me for night I wasn’t there, ripped me off
Horrible mold smell
In New Bern for my son’s wedding. We are out-​of-​State visitors. He is a Marine. First night, came in very late. We couldn’t get the door open, very difficult lock to back entry door, and very dangerous steep stairs. My mother is 78 years old, lucky we had my son there to open the door for us, and to help with luggage. Rooms had horrible mold smell, room #3, a small dark room in back of house, bed so hard that my shoulder hurt the next day. We paid the same price as our relatives who had a much larger and nicer room. If we paid less, maybe we would have been happier. But, the mold smell was overpowering. On Wednesday night we were the only people there in the entire house. My aunt/​uncle came the next day, and that was it in the house. We decided to leave the next day, only stayed one night. We told the owner about the horrible mold smell and he sprayed an air freshener. That made us even sicker with the sweet awful smell. He charged us for 2 nights when we only stayed for one night. That is like stealing from us. He stole $ 150 from us, and took advantage of 2 women. I am sure he would not have done that to a man. We stayed one night and that is all that we owed him. We went to the Hilton and had a very nice room. We were planning to stay for 6 nights, he said we could change rooms for a few nights but would have to go back to the moldy, little room over the weekend. We didn’t want to change rooms back and forth. If we knew he was going to charge us for the second night we would have stayed in another room there for that second night. But, he didn’t tell us that. He was not going to get another customer to replace us since the town was dead. I think he was desperate to get some income and took advantage of us. My suggestion is to stay at another bed and breakfast. Some relatives stayed across the street, and it was a lot cheaper and nicer. Check it out before you waste money on this place. Bed and Breakfasts are fun and have atmosphere, but this place didn’t work out. Owner very defensive and stubborn. I am sure he will write a long response to this denying everything, and maybe saying things that aren’t true. Mold is not good for people to breath, and something should be done about this. The other rooms smelled old, but not so moldy. The overwhelming mold smell came out of the closet in that room.
