"Best downtown hotel in Winston Salem"
Overall Score5.0/ 5
I stay recently at this hotel in July during a regional convention and and again in October of this year, impressed with hospitality and the welcoming feeling from the staff. The rooms are nice and clean with a beautiful outdoor area with a swimming pool and delicious breakfast waiting every morning not the normal breakfast, but a breakfast made with love. Anthony was my hotel host when checking in and out. He was very professional and was able to assist in a small issue which I deeply appreciate his expertise..

"Everything went excellent. I'm really glad I decided to go with both your company and Sierra Suites for accommodations for my wedding. People are now wishing there were more Sierra Suites around. They were even kind enough to offer the discounted rate to those people that weren't sure they'd make to the wedding until after the cutoff date. I have already referred someone to your service for a wedding she's planning in Michigan." R.S. - Parsippany, NY
