Hotel was clean, and bed was comfortable. The area is a little rough around the hotel, but not anything they have control over. Only complaint was the bar service, I waited 10 mins at the bar to order a drink. Was never greeter by the bartender even though she spoke to the three men seated before me. It was not a busy time, and there were only the 4 of us at the bar at the time. Ultimately left because I was never served. Otherwise, a good experience. Some mentioned how the floors were creaky, and they were, however it has more to do with the historic building and less with the hotel management. Overall very satisfied.

When we arrived at the hotel. The person at the desk was so nice. The bar was a disaster. There was broken glass all over the bar and the floor. The bartender was very overwhelmed, did not know what pinot grigio was. A few young gentleman had to open bottle of wine for another table.

A unique experience
The building was unique and in good repair, the service was poor. It took the girl at the counter 17 mins to get me checked in. I was the only guest waiting. There was a gap under the door in my room 200 something that was 2 inches or larger, I heard every toilet flush. My shower had visible debris coming off the floor. The area around the hotel seemed nice.

This is a good hotel. There aren’t many options in Winston- Salem downtown, but I felt like this was one of the best in that context and was happy to stay there. Nice staff, decent breakfast, and clean room. Unfortunately, we were placed in a room by the elevator, so had to endure a lot of noise over the weekend.

Property apparently under-staffed on weekend. Had to seek out staff at front desk and coffee bar after 7 AM. Parking was inconvenient. No soap in shower. Property clean and otherwise as convenient as expected but wouldn’t stay again.

First off, good luck at finding somewhere to park to check in here. It was awful. Next the employee at check in was too rushed and rude. We needed ice and asked another employee where it was available. She suggested the bar, so we went there first. The bartender that evening was "extremely rude"! We did eventually get ice, only available on one floor. The room was extremely clean and the bed was very comfortable! The building is historic and they have tried to save that. Overall, work on staff and parking and it would be worth every penny.

The hotel itself is amazing. Rooms are beautiful, staff is great, lobby is wonderful, and the bar/restaurant is fantastic. I do hope that the outside construction that the city is doing picks up speed and the transient population is kept under control. Could turn into a great walkable location.

Great historic building redone
Hotel staff very helpful and polite! Hotel was beautiful with nice accommodations. Only issue and it wasn’t a huge deal, but being an old building which was remolded and keep original wood floors, though beautiful, were very squeaky for anyone moving around while others in your room were trying to sleep. Other than that, not another complaint and the value was good too!

My checking was confusing because it was 7pm and no rooms were done. They did give a card for dining to help with that issue. Then I was charged an additional $68.00 on top of the incidental charge of $50. I called and the front desk manager told me well you will just have to wait until it falls off. I called again because I didn’t get the email and he resent the email then rushed me off the phone like my issue didn’t matter because he had people in front of him. I asked for the general manager name and he hung up on me!! I really like the hotel but if that’s how they handle issues I won’t be back!!

We have limited control over these reservations and appreciate your understanding in this regard.

Beautiful hotel, AWFUL service
1. Charged my credit in full plus incidental because I used a 3rd party to book the rooms. 2. ABSOLUTELY NO PARKING. Says they are 100% valet but that was a joke. We had to find parking garage, park our vehicles & walk 2 blocks to the hotel at 10PM. 3. On Thurs. afternoon, I contacted the hotel & asked if my 3 rooms could be next to each other or at least on the same floor. I was told to call back on Friday morning. Called back, made the request again. When we got there 2 of the rooms were on the 2nd floor the other on the 3rd. Overheard the housekeeper say that she didn’t even get to the 2nd floor to clean rooms the day before. Hotel had more dirty rooms than clean ones. 4. Room had 2 queen beds but only 1 bed had a flat sheet. Bedspreads were mixed matched. 5. Only 1 ice machine worked. 6. 2 towels, 2 washcloths in rooms. Called asked for more, told me I had to come to the lobby & get extras.

New life for an older building.
An amazing example of adaptive reuse, and honoring the history of the Pepper building. But by far the most spectacular asset is the staff.

Nice design, no frills
I was drawn to this hotel because of its style and its location. The style and comfort of the room met my expectations. We didn't spend much time in the town because we had been out for a long day, but the activity was a little lacking when we pulled in around 7 on a Thursday. Parking at the hotel (valet) was $25 and the $15 "breakfast included" upcharge was for a $20 voucher to their restaurant which will cost $30, so just avoid that alltogether. In summary it is a well-appointed hotel at a reasonable cost. It appears to be a very upscale hotel but it's pretty bare bones in terms of service and staffing.
