What guests think

Across reviews for Courtyard Winston-Salem Downtown, travelers highlight friendly staff and a walkable downtown location with easy access to restaurants and venues, though some encountered parking quirks, slow room readiness, and occasional service follow-through issues.

Facilities such as the rooftop bar and gym draw positive mentions, but limited hours, staffing gaps, and gym noise affecting nearby rooms come up in multiple reviews. Cleanliness is generally strong, yet several guests reported housekeeping misses or maintenance issues like low shower water pressure. Expect a convenient downtown base with modern comforts and occasional operational tradeoffs.

Facilities

Rooftop bar and gym are appreciated, but hours can be limited and staffing thin, and gym noise disturbs rooms beneath. Parking is next to the hotel and convenient for many, but it carries a $15/day fee and can be confusing.

On the negative side, The breakfast bistro was ill stocked and understaffed, same with the bar. The gym had no towels in the morning. The pool was a very small indoor pool and it was not very clean. On the positive side, this hotel is nicely situated near walkable down town restaurants, bars and shops.

This was my first stay and wont go back. Parking is a pain in the arse as you first have to check in to get a room key to open the gate. Signage to this effect is non existent. Then pillows are low quality and thin, not up to Marriott brand. No extra coffee was availablenand only synthetic creamer instead of real stuff. This is a big deal to us as we drink coffee and want natural ingredients. Lasly there is no coffee in common rooms early in morning. Had to wait til 630 am to buy something, and again no effing cream.

I always stay at the Courtyard in Winston-Salem because of its proximity to restaurants, bars, and my family (they pretty close by). I can always count on the hotel to be clean, quiet, and convenient. They even have a rooftop during the summer months. Lastly, parking is always so easy as its right next to the hotels. This is great hotel for solo travelers (like me), families, or groups!

The room was nice and clean. The bed was super comfortable. I was on the 5th floor and the gym was directly above the room. Running (pounding) on the treadmill and weights being dropped at 7am is not a great thing to wake up to. Called twice to have my room refreshed and it was never done.

Who ever decided the gym/work out facility should go on the top floor should lose their job!! It’s open 24/7 so anyone can go at anytime. That’s great news except for the people in the rooms beneath the gym that are trying to sleep!! It was THE LOUDEST thing I’ve heard in a long time staying at a hotel, and we stay in hotels often! I’m happy for the people that love fitness and want to run on the treadmill at all hours of the night and at 4 and 5 am but when it’s above your head, that’s ridiculous!!

The hotel overall looked nice and like it had a facelift. The staff was friendly. The hotel bar and rooftop bar were selling points for us, but not open. The fridge in the room didn’t work and the sink got water all over the counter due to poor planning on the construction side. Room was clean, everything was easily walkable.

I enjoyed the room and the staff were very friendly. Clean! Restaurants walking distance. I wish there was a nicer walking path from the parking garage to the building. Also the check in parking spaces are a joke. I had to drive around the block twice then wait until a space freed up. Honestly parking was expensive.

The room was clean and comfortable. I appreciated having a Keurig instead of a coffee pot. The bed was too soft…no support. There was weak water pressure in the shower, but served its purpose. The Bistro had great burgers and the chef was amazing. Overall, I had a good stay and was able to get to the Benton Convention Center in 3 minutes with easy parking. Lastly, I must say the staff was very friendly, but the cleaning staff could improve. They left cleaning products in my room, did not replenish the coffee cups, and forgot to replace the towel mat for the bathroom.

Not the best, not the worst. Parking was confusing, wish there had been more information in the booking about where/how to park. Asked the staff about accessibility accommodations and they said they'd call the room with their answer, but never called. Oh well. Our room overlooked the outdoor lounge area, so it was difficult to sleep with the noise from down below. But the room and facilities were nice and very clean. The location is great and very walkable. Overall our stay was pleasant.

The downtown location is nice as you have access to restaurants and bars in a walking distance. The staff were short-handed and couldn’t keep up with customer needs though they were trying hard. The hotel just didn’t seem to have enough people on a busy graduation weekend when the hotel was a full house.

We arrived at 5 PM to check in and told we would have to wait as our room was not ready. Several other guests were waiting in the lobby for the same reason. We were told it would be another 30 minutes, at least. The smoke detector blinked red/green approximately every 10 seconds at night. Always nice when trying to sleep having a flashing light go off continually. We were told we could put tape on the smoke detector. Not the biggest issues in the world, but not ones I have had to deal with on other stays at Marriott hotels.

When my boyfriend and I arrived they didn’t have our room ready. We had to wait almost 20 minutes for a room even though we were there way after our check in time. We almost missed our reservation. They also did NOT refund my money for incidentals after I was told they would. $250.00 GONE. Dishonesty is not ok. WILL NOT BE BACK. Room was fine

Very clean, and the staff are very welcoming and friendly. Gym is spacious. Lots of local business dining options within walking distance. There doesn’t seem to be a big convenience store, like a Walgreens or CVS, within walking distance, but the hotel and local deli provides some basic toiletries and items. The neighborhood felt safe and vibrant right along Fourth Street. We enjoyed walking to the nearby parks and watching a full-on outdoor yoga/meditation class and a few outdoor running groups. The parking garage was conveniently next to the hotel, just make sure to use the correct entrance - only one entrance will read the hotel card key (need to let the front desk know you’ll be parking there upon check-in). There was one night we saw a broken window into the parking lot, but nothing happened to our car. Overall, very clean and a walkable small but vibrant area. Would definitely book here again if we had to come back into town.

Dining

The on-site bistro and bar receive mixed feedback: some enjoyed good burgers and breakfast, but hours can be limited, coffee is pay-only, and staffing or stock shortages caused slow or unavailable service; no full-service restaurant or room service.
