The good things I can say are that our room was clean and the mattress was firm. The rest of the property was not cared for and the advertised included hot breakfast was a joke! There was a small amount of food that looked like it was left over from the previous day and just reheated on the steam table. If we ever need to be in Kinston again we will definitely not stay here
