Hotels Near Muddy Creek Greenway in Winston Salem

We had an exceptional stay at the elegant Summit Street Inn. From the moment we made our reservation, the service was top-notch. Upon arrival, we were greeted with wine waiting in our room, setting the tone for a truly memorable stay. The check-in process was seamless and easy. The staff was not only professional but also warm and welcoming, offering excellent hospitality throughout our visit. The inn exudes charm and offers a beautiful and luxurious atmosphere. We highly recommend the Summit Street Inn to anyone seeking a refined and elegant experience.

This hotel has seen better days-such as back in 1995 perhaps. I've actually stayed here multiple times the last few months because of the location, but this last trip made me decide it's time to move on. I travel every week for work, and some things I look for are: cleanliness of course, soft pillows, decent towels, air conditioning that works, friendly people, walls that aren't paper thin, and rooms that aren't a hot mess. Pros: location, breakfast (though I've never had it), water pressure. Cons: Ever heard of the expression, ”lipstick on a pig?” This describes this hotel perfectly. You enter the lobby and it's beautiful-really is. Apparently they did a remodel. That's where the remodel ends. From the lobby, you enter the 3 elevators. All are nasty. They appear to be more like freight elevators, than elevators that are off a big beautiful lobby. They kind of smell, walls/floor are gross, and you get out of them and generally feel dirty. The rooms are circa 1995. Nothing is updated. Again, I have stayed here probably 5-6 times, so I have seen multiple rooms. The carpets are foul and fraying. The walls are stained up. The bathroom has super old faucets and sprayers, dirt in the corners, and the shower curtain/liner has seen way better days. My last room that finally made me decide to be a little crazy and stay elsewhere next time, had an air conditioning system that banged when it turned on, stayed on for a few minutes, then went off, and would bang again 30 minutes later. This room also had this phone whose picture I attached. All the buttons have been removed and it's filthy. The room I had before this one had an adjoining room. The door adjoining the 2 rooms was missing a lock and wasn't even flush against the wall (picture attached). I bring a door stopper with me on all my trips that I jammed up under this door-the only reason why I had kept the room and I was super tired. Anyway, I will stay at the Hampton a block away or the Courtyard my next trips. Just set your expectations correctly if you stay here.

Jay Arce at the Winston-Salem Marriott butcher and bull bar is amazing! He is so welcoming and remembers everyone’s name and favorite drink from the first time he meets them. You will not be disappointed if Jay is helping you out! Actually, the entire crew at that restaurant and the bar is amazing and super personable. Always excellent service.

I needed a place close to the hospital and my daughters college for her surgery. Hawthorne was the closest to both, almost within walking distance to both. I reserved our room for our stay in advance, in which I received an early bird discount. We also received another discount since we were there for the main purpose of the hospital. Due to other circumstances, the day before we were to check in, I needed to check in a day early. They were very understanding and accommodating and still gave me the same rate. The day of her surgery, we realized that our room was not going to be as accessible as we thought, so we needed to change rooms. Again, Hawthorne was very understanding and accommodating and moved us into a more comfortable room for her with no questions asked. On day of check out, we needed a late check out due to having to wait on our transportation, and again, very understanding and accommodating, no questions asked. The entire staff from Check In all the way to Maintenance were AMAZING! They went above and beyond to meet our needs, help us with my daughter and her wheelchair, and made us feel so welcome. The room was spacious, extremely clean (the entire facility was immaculate), and the beds were very comfortable. The pool area was beautiful, although closed for the season. Due to Covid, they did not have the Continental Breakfast as listed on their website, but did have a ”Grab and Go” bag with coffee and afternoon tea in the lobby area.

Great location and we were able to walk everywhere we wanted to go. Near some great restaurants. Valet parking is $22. Breakfast was good. No free water bottles for silver members which is a disappointment. One of the elevators was very shaky and noisy and that was the one that opened every time except one. A family waiting with me refused to enter it because of the condition. The other elevator that I rode once was fine.

Beautiful hotel with an historical feel. The lobby and my room was very clean. The only complaints I have were the scratches all on the tables and caulking in shower were coming apart. Just makes me wonder what does maintenance do? Being that my husband is a director of maintenance at an historic hotel. He pointed these things out and said this could cause for a great place to end up not being so great. Also the shower door just seems to be stuck or just needing some maintenance. Other than that, the housekeeping staff was very nice and did a great job on my stayover service

The staff has exceptional customer service from the front desk to hospitality! The wine and cheese from 5 - 7 were great to ”wind down” for the day and the cookies and milk from 8 - 9 were so tasty for an evening treat or bedtime snack. My room was LARGE with two levels - queen size bed, a large sofa, a side chair, and a faux fireplace with a space heater to imitate the real deal. The space heater did heat up the room because it was quite chilly. The only complaint I have is that my microwave did not work and it was pretty cold in the rooms but the staff was more than willing to accommodate my needs. The floors creek a lot when people are walking or just settling for the evening. Those little inconveniences will be there with the age of this building but it also speaks to its history...thus the story of Sally the Ghost. I was not afraid of that after reading about her story on my first night there.

I booked this hotel because I'm a sucker for older buildings with Art Deco architecture. When I walked into the lobby, i was pleased...it appeared to have delivered in that department. The gold elevators, the floors, the fixtures were all exactly what I was looking for. Sadly, once we got up to our room, the charm of the hotel ended with a thud. The room was dark. We fumbled for the light switch, and a single low-watt lightbulb flickered on by the bed. The rest of the stay, I tried to get some kind of illumination (other than the flashlight on my phone) but was thwarted at every attempt. The floor lamp's bulb was burnt out. Other switches did nothing. The curtains were impossible to budge or even reach. It felt like we were in a cave...a cave with dated carpeting and beat up furniture. It's sad, because this building could be such an amazing hotel if they put a little love and design into the rooms. We ate at the restaurant downstairs for dinner and it was pretty good. Over all, however, I say thumbs down. Kimpton, I thought you guys would do better than this!

This is the place to stay in Winston Salem. My nephew who was only a day old was transferred to the NICU at at local hospital. As you can imagine my brother had a lot going on. I called the hotel and Tanya went ABOVE AND BEYOND to accommodate and help to make this horrible situation a little easier. She kept in contact with me during my brothers stay, extended his stay and the hotel even got the baby a gift that was waiting for them at check out. Everyone should take a lesson from this employee. The kindness she showed was so appreciated. There are not enough words to describe how much it meant. Thank you Tanya! She deserves a raise!
