Yes, it's a regular full service Marriott, but what set this place apart was the attentive and friendly service received from every hotel employee. From check-in to breakfast the next day, the service received was excellent.
The property is located right downtown, within walking distance of all the popular pubs and restaurants on 4th street. Parking is either in the street or at the city parking garage across the street ($9 a day).
There is a full bar/restaurant downstairs next to the lobby, a business center and small market.
We had a king-sized bedroom on the concierge level that was up to par with other full-service Marriott properties, plus it came with a small fridge.
Overall a pleasant stay, mainly due to the great service, we will be back!

We always stay at the Marriott in downtown Winston-Salem when we are visiting. We have made multiple trips, at various times of year because we have an undergrad student at Wake Forest University. The hotel is in the downtown area, an easy drive to and from campus. I really appreciate the valet parking, especially if I am traveling alone; there is a parking fee for this, but there is also a parking garage across the street to park yourself for less. The staff is always friendly and courteous, and they have gone above and beyond for me on several occasions. We once left an i-pod in the room, and did not realize until we were back in Massachusetts. The housekeeping staff had found the ipod, (and a small radio), turned it in, and it was shipped back to us promptly after we called looking for it.

The hotel itself is clean and well maintained. The rooms are on larger side, and the beds are very comfy. The food in the dining room is only fair at breakfast, not worth the expense. We have eaten dinner there, and it was wonderful. The bar is outside the dining room, with tables, so we order from the restaurant menu, and eat out there. It is a very warm and welcoming area around the bar, and we enjoy spending time there. The area is quite large, and open, with couches as well as the tables.

The hotel has been fairly busy every time we have been there, so there are lots of people coming and going but the hotel is large, and the guest floors are quiet. We really love it, and would never stay anywhere else in Winston-Salem. I really appreciate polite and friendly people, and every person I have met there, on every trip, has been just as nice as can be. A nice hotel, friendly people, perfect location.

This Marriott is easy to locate from I40 and is on the opposite corner from the Benton Convention Center. Parking is across the street in a public garage - $10 per day self-park and $12 per day valet. Waited approximately 10 minutes to check-in - and check-in process took about 3 minutes. The staff is VERY friendly and helpful. We were in a king room on the 15th floor and had a great view of the city. Standard Marriott hotel room - comfortable bed and linens - nice flat-screen TV - free wireless internet access - small refrigerator - hairdryer - iron & ironing board - coffee maker - and Bath & Body Works toiletry items. The room was very clean and exceptionally quiet. The hotel seemed to be full - but we never heard a sound from another room. The rate was $20 - $30 more than other hotels in the area - but it was worth it to us to have have to drive back & forth to the convention center and find parking. I would definitely recommend the Marriott - especially for a convention.

Great location to everything, this is a very nice hotel all around!
