The hotel is amazing, the staff is very hospitable, and the breakfast food is amazing to wake up too. Had a great view of the largest Winston landmark building. Even with bad snowy weather, the warmth and hospitality inside definitely melted all that away in my room. Will definitely return, this is my second stay and not soon to be my last.

We stayed in the Wachovia room Christmas Eve to Christmas Day as a midpoint to our final destination. The innkeeper was very attentive in making sure we were able check in late with no hiccups. Instructions were clear, easy to navigate even with a few one way streets near by.
We were extremely pleased with the ambiance, location, attentiveness of staff and most of all
THE BREAKFAST!! The biscuits and gravy are still being talked about.
Rooms were clean, bed was comfy, the clawfoot tub in the room was to die for. We brought a bottle of wine and thought we were SOL — but the room had a wine opener and a bathtub tray to hold my wine and chocolate. Perfect for relaxing and had everything we needed — including water bottles and a mini fridge!

Very cool place! Staff was very friendly. Rooms were very clean, decorated nicely, and had comfortable beds!
The hotel is very nice, if not old, the staff is friendly, and it's convenient to many things in Winston Salem.
The breakfast though was inadequate and not tasty.
I booked her because it's a bed and breakfast and it was highly disappointing.
