Courtyard by Marriott Winston-Salem University

The price was good; comfortable rooms and friendly staff. I had a great stay plus a great location.

Disliked: Nothing was bad.

Disappointing

Passable

Disliked: Clearly they slapped on some paint and maybe wallpaper, moved in some furniture, and added the Marriott name. But it still felt like a highway motel. The paint didn't cover fully the old bathroom door, the toilet paper rolls were not properly installed (and therefore were unusable if you didn't want to risk the toilet paper falling off and rolling around on the bathroom floor). The check-in time of 4 PM is ridiculously late (unless you really are just hopping off the highway at the end of a day of driving for a place to sleep).

Disappointed.

Liked: The bed was extremely comfortable and there was plenty of walking room.
Disliked: There were 3 different instances where we found black hair from previous guests/ possible housekeepers (1 might have been beard hair but most likely pubic hair on the tile under the sink) and the other two were in the sink as a long single strand of black hair and a hair ball of black hair in the bathroom area itself. I have blonde hair so it is obvious that the hair did not belong to me. It was quite disturbing in that we did not even want to walk barefoot or shower in the room we paid for. We checked out around 8 AM which because we just wanted to go home and shower.

Would stay here again if...

Liked: The room size, bathroom separated from sink area, good rug, clean wallpaper, comfortable bed, availability of restaurant on premises, very short distance to fairgrounds.
Disliked: A bottle of water in the room would have been nice.
