The adjacent Pitt County Courthouse and former U.S. Post Office, both listed on the National Register, were under construction at the time. When completed, the hotel was considered "one of the finest and best appointed hotels of the State," containing 60 rooms, some with private baths and all with hot and cold running water, steam heat and electric call bells. A large dining room, lobby, office and writing room were located on the first floor, and the building included electric lighting and an electric elevator. The building is part of Greenville's Historic District.
