This hotel absolutely exceeded my expectations! It punches WAY above its pay grade. It's gorgeous, historic yet modern and the hospitality was top notch. Spacious room and bathroom with every amenity. Any time I find myself in Winston-Salem I will be definitely stay here again.
You will love this hotel- lobby area (morning coffee, evening wine hour, plenty of seating), very spacious gym, and the rec room (basketball, bowling lanes, games, etc)- made for a fun long weekend.
I loved the valet crew/system. You use a QR code and the guys bring up your vehicle quickly with a smile on their face. The price is a bit much ($28 a day plus tip) but it was super convenient.
All of the staff (housekeeping/hostess/valet/etc) were all very friendly. It made for a nice trip!
Our stay was wonderful! Beautiful place and service was excellent

Liked: Staff & service
It is fine but one street over from a street full of vagrants and close enough to bus stop that you also get spillover from there .
Hotel is cute enough and staff was nice .
Stayed for one night and loved the ambiance, and comfort. We ordered room service from Katherine's and food arrived within the hour. Nice sitting area in the lobby. Kid friendly. Walking distance to many bars and restaurants.
