I hate to give a bad review but this property which looks very quaint and beautiful in the pictures is in a need of updating or a significant freshening. Items in the room were literally falling apart and locks on the door that didn't work and dirt and unfinished ceiling repairs.
I understand that it is an old historic facility and that there will be certain. nuances in keeping historical charm. This was a disappointment compared to other B&B's we've stayed at. Also it is on the corner of a very busy intersection and the noise can be a little overwhelming at times

We like this hotel. It is so beautiful. But too noisy at night. Because the location is near street.

Randall, the host, is excellent!! He communicated with us before we arrived and was there to welcome us. When there was a problem at 2:00 a.m. with a water faucet not turning off, Randall was quick to repair that. And he was very friendly and knowledgeable when telling us about the area.
We were there during a cold spell, and the room was cold. The desktop refrigerator was very small — we were traveling with snacks and soft drinks, and they didn’t all fit. An extension cord would have been useful to help us charge two phones and a CPAP. Waffles at breakfast were tasty.

I feel at home here. That's probably the highest compliment I can give. Each bedroom is a little different but all are comfortable and cozy, yet well sized. Breakfasts are delicious and I love that they go until 10am. The place was lovely at Christmas, which is always a wonderful time to visit Winston-Salem and be so close to Old Salem and downtown - walkable to both!
The property is clean. The innkeepers and waitstaff are friendly and warm. Parking and WiFi are ample and free. The beds are very comfortable. Very conveniently located. Lovely and historic. Owners continue to refine each inn and gently update the building systems.
What you may need to know: some rooms are not well insulated for temperature nor neighborhood noises and highway. A few lightbulbs were out but quickly remedied. The route to the parking lot takes a map although in back of property, due to all the one-ways (find Brookstown Rd and that will get you there without the highway). I wish there parking lot and route with steps were better lit. There is one main floor bedroom but otherwise, you'll need to climb stairs. Make sure to check if your room has a connected bathroom or one down the hall - both are convenient but some people need that immediacy.
I've stayed before and will happily stay there again.

This is the second time we have stayed at this beautiful inn! Again, our expectations were met! The room, The Falls, was beautiful and spacious! Jada, welcomed us with a beautiful smile and made sure we had everything! My hat off to the chief for a delicious breakfast every morning! The servers were great! Alyssa and Molly will take care of you at breakfast and any other time! Mr. Baldwin, who greeted us every morning at breakfast wanted to know how our stay was going! Thanks you for a wonderful stay!

We had a problem with our thermostat in our room not working. Since we were a late arrival, the problem was addressed first thing the next morning.
We had a problem with our server at the Founders restaurant for breakfast. The server definitely had an attitude, and when I questioned her, she of course denied it, and she left early so that I never received my breakfast until the next staff came on!!
However, owner arrived the next morning with replacement staff and made everything right for a happy ending. All is well that ends well.
Lovely historic building with very large rooms.
