    Under the bed was completely nasty! You could see the line where they stop vacuuming! It’s not what you want to see when you spend 300$ a night and it was very expensive for such a small room! Same size rooms at the Hampton and holiday inn for less

    Nice old looking building! Big nice bathroom! Some staff was nice and friendly some were stuck up and acted like they didn’t care about their chosen career.

    Staff was a little disappointing. Not very helpful. Some were a little rude. But didn't stop us from having a great time.

    Location was great. The facility is fantastic. We loved the entertainment area. Very nice for kids.

    A Lovely Conversion of An Iconic Building

    Car parking is virtually valet only. Your only other choice is street parking, and it’s not in a park-on-the-street kind of neighborhood. The room was not particularly large. The bathroom was not memorable.

    It is an historic property: the RJ Reynolds Tobacco headquarters to hotel. The conversion has been gracefully done: Respectful of this exquisite building. City views are very nice. Decor is very nice.

    Amazing architecture, stunning room design, gracious and really upscale service from professional front desk and valet attendants! And the amenities!!! Upon prior request our room had all of the additional features we requested. Our ongoing satisfaction was monitored by text message, which was super pleasant and convenient. The game room was awesome! If I had to be critical, I guess I would say some of our housekeeping requests were incomplete and needed to be re-requested twice. The 2 lane bowling had one lane with technical issues. Besides that, very minor, we had an absolute blast!!

    Justin from Catherine’s bar was just incredible. He came to check on us, made sure we received excellent service, and personally took AMAZING care of us. When we returned for dinner he visited us and asked about our drinks and food; and when we prepared to leave he expressed HIS appreciation for having us there. He made us feel so welcomed and really special. We all fell in love with him and even if I were just passing through W-S I would think to stop at Catherine’s to have a drink and a meal for the excellent food yes! But especially to see him!!!

    The rec space was closed for a private party. This should be communicated in advance.

    It still feels like the Reynolds building. Loved the rec space downstairs.

    The carpet in the room was filthy. It’s apparent it’s never been cleaned. The shower was not clean. It had visible marks that could have easily been removed with even one wipe down. The shower door gap makes it so that the bathroom floor is completely soaked after a shower

    The amenities were great

    Absolutely love this hotel! It is our second stay and so happy we stayed here again with our soccer team. It was a great place for our boys to have to hangout during down time. They loved being in the rec room and playing chess. Housekeeping and the front desk was great. The gym is well equipped and the restaurant was great the 3 times we went!

    Check your bill at checkout and then check again later. Our bill had a valet charge at checkout even though we didn't even have a car with us and didn't use the valet. And then a couple days later some mini bar charges showed up even though we did not touch the in room mini bar.

    An awesome building with lots of character and great amenities. The game room was awesome. The rooms a comfy, clean, and very nice. The hotel is perfectly located to enjoy the restaurants and nightlife of downtown Winston Salem.
