FAIRFIELD INN & SUITES BY MARRIOTT WINSTON-SALEM DOWNTOWN, Winston-Salem

This downtown location is less than a 5-minute drive from the University of North Carolina School of the Arts and 6 minutes from Wake Forest Baptist Medical Center. Old Salem Museums & Gardens is a 9-minute walk away, and BB&T Field is 5 km from the hotel. The Winston-Salem Arts District is 1 km away. Several restaurants, cafes, and shops are within a 5-minute walk, and a Brazilian steakhouse is located right next door. Being directly off the highway makes the hotel convenient for car travel, although nearby highway ramps may produce some road noise in certain rooms. Walking to many downtown attractions and dining spots is practical for most visitors.

Rooms offer air conditioning, heating, carpeted floors, and a work desk. Family rooms, suites with a separate seating area and sofa, and quadruple rooms are available. Each room includes ironing facilities and a seating area. While the property is older, rooms are generally clean. Hallways and some room carpets show signs of wear and may lack brightness. Some mattresses have been noted as comfortable, particularly king beds which may offer a firmer feel than queen beds. For a quieter stay, rooms facing away from the highway are preferable, as air conditioning units can produce some noise.

The free hot breakfast includes eggs, sausage, oatmeal, cereal, fresh fruit, a variety of toppings such as walnuts and sunflower seeds, alongside items like sausage, egg, and cheese croissant sandwiches and Chobani Greek yogurt. Main St. Grille serves American fare for dinner, including burgers, sandwiches, local hot dogs, and pimento cheese dips. A full-service bar is available with wine and champagne. The bar and restaurant area connects to a pleasant outdoor patio with a fireplace. The breakfast buffet is generally well-stocked with good variety. The bar menu can be limited if a shipment has been missed, so checking availability directly is worthwhile.

The on-site fitness centre provides cardio machines and a television, offering a practical option for a workout during your stay. No swimming pool or spa facilities are available on site. The property also has an outdoor picnic area with a sun terrace and a shared lounge with a TV for relaxation. Live sport events are broadcast in the bar area at no charge.
