I had no bar soap in the room, so the first shower I had to use shampoo as body wash, no big deal, but you should know. It was odd that there was no split in the curtains to close the blackout curtain, so you had to go to the end and walk under the curtain to grab the puller - no big deal, yet strange. I will say the front desk staff were always friendly and professional. Jasmine (?) at the lobby bar was particularly nice, accommodating, and funny when I saw her on Thursday and Saturday evening.

Fast check in. Allen was great and very friendly. Next morning breakfast was very good with lots of variety. Has a restaurant inside that seems to be popular with locals. Private parking garage for guests only with easy access back into building. Room was spacious and bed was beyond comfortable.

Parking is confusing and inconvenient. I got a “suite” and it’s just a regular room with another TV and a sofa. When you get off the elevator it smells strongly of weed.

I loved the walk ability to local restaurants. The room and property were excellent. The built a privacy wall that was a brick fireplace in the courtyard.

The front desk staff was very nice. The lady that ran the bar, was very pleasant. What I did not like was that in the bathroom, by the bathtub, in the corner by the door of the bathtub, it needs to be cleaned, take the old tub caulking out and replaced with new caulking. Also, when I came up to the hotel, I noticed my husband bringing down the dirty towels. The lady at the front desk stated that their policy is that they clean every three days, which is very unsanitary and unhealthy. We just finished having a pandemic here in North Carolina. I don’t know who cleaned the room, we’re they healthy cleaning, Did the customer have an animal in that same room? Again, not changing towels or sheets for three days is unhealthy.

The property was overall pretty good. The shower didn’t drain well and water pooled up. There were streaks in the tub, on mirrors, and tables in the room. Breakfast was good for a continental breakfast. Had lots of options.

The Fairfield Inn in downtown Winston-Salem was fine until the wee hours of June 20, 2023. That’s when my wife and I were awakened by what sounded like garbage trucks. They were LOUD, really loud. Lots of metallic bumping and banging and dropping — and we were on the fourth floor. The service, the room, the bed, breakfast, etc., were all great. But Marriott management really needs to get on the horn with city hal and raise holy hell.

The sweet little lady working the bkfast area (wish I had got her name) was very attentive to keep the area clean and neat. Also, Allen at the front desk is a gem. He made it a point to call every person who came thru the lobby by name! He is very friendly and helpful!
