Top Winston-Salem Hotel Reviews

Hawthorne Inn and Conference Center

8/10 Good

"Hotel is not smoke free a lot of marijuana and a lot of cigarettes and rooms so if you do want a smoke free room good luck the room that we had said it was smoke-free but you can tell people smoke in it that day, but it was super clean the hotel pool was clean and it felt good. The breakfast was not worth $10 is your typical hotel breakfast that’s usually free at a Hilton Garden Inn or the country and suites but she will not find any kind of staff anywhere else. They have great snacks and a good prices, but I do wish they wouldn’t allow smoking in the rooms. If we go back to Winston-Salem, we will definitely stay there again, but I will make sure that I tell them that the room has to be smoke free. Maybe they need to put an air purifier after every guest if they smoke and tried to hefty fee!"

The Historic Brookstown Inn, Trademark Collection by Wyndham

10/10 Excellent

"I didn’t use a lot of the amenities. But the staff were great. It’s in a good location for Old Salem."
