"Excellent Customer Service"

Despite an early mix up, we enjoyed our short stay, mostly because of a young man named DeAnthony at the front desk.He expedited any potential problems, cleared up issues and treated us with respect and kindness. That young man is a gem.

"Best downtown hotel in Winston Salem"

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..
