The Holiday Inn Express in Winston-Salem is a basic, comfortable stop for queer travelers to this North Carolina city.
You’ll find it right off I-40, which means quick trips downtown or to Wake Forest University. It’s a practical home base, whether you’re in town for work, a quick visit, or to see what Winston-Salem’s all about.
Rooms are what you’d expect: dark wood, cable TV, microwave, fridge, coffee maker, iron. They’ve got an outdoor pool, and you get a free hot breakfast every morning. Wi-Fi’s also free, everywhere.
Look, it’s a chain hotel. Don’t come expecting a Pride parade in the lobby. But it’s a perfectly fine, no-drama place to stay in Winston-Salem. It’s reliable, has the things you need, and puts you close enough to everything.

friendly staff got me what I needed. very clean room and the breakfast was really good. Just wish I could have used my AARP to get a discount
Great facility! The staff was very friendly and helpful. We totally enjoyed our stay.
We stayed at Holiday Inn Express Winston-Salem while in town for a tournament, and overall had a very nice experience. The room was clean, comfortable, and looked to be recently renovated. While a few of the finishes weren’t perfect, they were done well enough that it didn’t take away from our stay. The hotel was likely fully booked due to events in the area, so it did get a bit noisy at times, and sound carried more than expected through the walls and doors. Still, everything else made up for it. Breakfast was good and had a nice variety. The buffet setup was a bit smaller than I expected, but the seating area was spacious and easy to navigate, even during busy times. I also needed to use the laundry facilities during our stay, which was very convenient. There was a small issue with my key card not working to access the laundry room, but Patricia at the front desk was incredibly kind and helpful. She assisted me immediately and even propped the door open so I could go back and forth without any hassle. Patricia was also the one who welcomed us when we first arrived, and she truly made a lasting impression. Her friendliness and attentiveness added a personal touch that made the stay feel warm and inviting. Overall, a great stay with just a couple of minor inconveniences. The excellent customer service really stood out, and we would definitely stay here again.
