Downtown Winston-Salem is very cute and has a lot of great food options around. This hotel was purchased with a budget in mind and we got what we paid for. Everything seemed to be cleanly enough but the facility itself is very dated and has a smell to it. The building inside almost felt like it had a “film”. The staff was very friendly and accommodating. We didn’t make it down to breakfast so I can’t speak on the food quality. Overall just an okay experience! Not bad not great.

Overall good: clean & comfortable! Odor a turnoff!

The Hawthorne Inn is an older modern- styled hotel, built in 1982, on the edge of downtown Winston-Salem, NC.The location is excellent for strolling through the downtown business district. Several good restaurants nearby, as well as coffee shops, clubs, and landmarks. Old Salem, the historical settlement of the Moravian religious sect that began the town is within a 2-3 block walking distance. As for the hotel itself, it was clean, comfortable, and accessible for those who have such needs. The staff was extremely cordial. I liked the accommodations quite a bit, with two exceptions; when I first walked into the hotel there was a pungent odor of a chemical nature that actually gave me a headache. It was so potent that I acquired sinusitis several days later that I believe was environmentally induced. Smelt like a cleaning solvent or paint. I've been back from my trip for 3 days and using my prescription nasal sprays. Just beginning to feel better. Lastly, I specifically booked a room on a "no smoking" floor. I smelt smoke as soon as I got off the elevator and approached my room which was the first room on the hall. I called the front desk to tell them. The clerk apologized and said he would spray my room. I explained that the odor was not in my room, but coming from a room into the hall. The clerk thanked me but I didn't sense he'd do anything about it. Yet, I didn't smell smoke the next day. Liked the hotel, but not sure I'd return; a little afraid odors might return!

Things told and not follow through

Everything was ok. The only thing checking in was difficult we had 2 rooms and requested the same floor and a 2hour early check in. The first guy said it would not be problem to be on the same but I guess it was shift change the other guy was not able to accommodate my request for same floor and also had to wait for my additional room.
