Hotels Near Social Status in Greensboro

Looks like Marriott used the pandemic to renovate and modernize the rooms. The furnishings look new with a somewhat modern flair. The room configurations though are easily recognizable for those who've stayed in Marriott properties before. On the plus side, the hotel is in a good location, basically at the northern edge of the downtown core area. It is across the street from the performing arts center so is a convenient spot to spend the night without requiring any driving, parking, etc. There are many restaurants within a 10 minute walk of the hotel. The hotel has a nice bar/lounge area that gets some traffic in the evenings. The rooms feel fresh and new although they are limited by the pre-existing room configurations and ceiling height. Despite its location, that section of town is actually fairly quiet outside of events at the art center. One can do many pleasant walks to nearby parks, the nearby culture museum or to simply view the older building architecture in downtown Greensboro. On the negative side, only complaint was that their pool remains closed (going on two years now?) Given the warm weather we had while there, it would have been nice had it been open!

We were very disappointed in our recent four night stay. A major factor in choosing this hotel was the indoor pool. On the night of our check in we headed straight to the pool only to be met with a sign saying it was closed. When I politely inquired about it, the gentleman at the front desk could care less, didn't offer any apologies, and said it might be open next week or maybe not. We paid a premium to stay at this hotel (about $400/nt) because of a convention in town that we were not a part of. The pool closure was not listed on the website, in my booking confirmation, or in any of the other confirmations I received leading up to our trip. I did call customer service to voice my concern so we'll see what happens. The other big issue was housekeeping. There was a sign saying that you needed to request housekeeping. Reasonable enough. On the second night my husband went to the front desk to request it. He was told that we needed to request it in the morning. Okay, fine. So in the morning he goes back to the front desk and this time was informed that housekeeping is only provided every four days. Seriously?! So we were there for 4 nts/5 days and paid over $1700 and wasn't provided with any housekeeping. Totally unaccepable. The shining stars of this property were the women in the food area who were super pleasant and hardworking. I would not recommend this property. Look elsewhere.

good! Convenient

It’s was nice staff was helpful no coffee cups in the room for coffee maker and room shows wear and the he light outside the window shines straight in the window but it’s worth staying again

We just stayed overnight for a short time on our way to Charlotte. Room was nice and clean and it even smelled nice. Lots of places to eat within walking distance of the hotel. Didn't see whether or not they had breakfast since we were hopping back on the road the next morning. Friendly staff

My 18 year old son was delayed while driving home by himself from college. Rather than drive through the night and risk drowsy driving, we opted to find him a place to sleep for a few hours and then resume his trip the next day. I started calling hotels along his route at 1am. Numerous hotels turned him down due to his age (I guess 18 is old enough to join the military and vote, but not to stay at a hotel - even when continuing to drive creates a risk) or the hotels' nightly room audit procedures. Thank goodness we found the Comfort Suites Whitsett - Greensboro East! The front desk clerk was so helpful (I believe she said her name was MaryAnn?) - she confirmed that they had availability and would accommodate an 18 year old and would even give him a walk-in discount. My son easily checked in at 3:30am and spent a comfortable night in this welcoming hotel that was easily accessible from I-85. Thank you!!
