Top Wake Forest University Hotel Reviews

Hawthorne Inn and Conference Center

8/10 Good

"Hotel is not smoke free a lot of marijuana and a lot of cigarettes and rooms so if you do want a smoke free room good luck the room that we had said it was smoke-free but you can tell people smoke in it that day, but it was super clean the hotel pool was clean and it felt good. The breakfast was not worth $10 is your typical hotel breakfast that’s usually free at a Hilton Garden Inn or the country and suites but she will not find any kind of staff anywhere else. They have great snacks and a good prices, but I do wish they wouldn’t allow smoking in the rooms. If we go back to Winston-Salem, we will definitely stay there again, but I will make sure that I tell them that the room has to be smoke free. Maybe they need to put an air purifier after every guest if they smoke and tried to hefty fee!"
