DoubleTree by Hilton Winston Salem - University, NC
Highway-adjacent stay twelve minutes from Wake Forest by car
Winston-Salem, Winston-Salem
About this stay
Positioned off University Parkway near Highway 52, this DoubleTree works as a practical stop for anyone driving through the Piedmont rather than committing to a full downtown itinerary. The building predates most of the newer Hanes Mall construction, giving rooms a slightly different feel, and the outdoor pool and buffet breakfast cover the basics without a downtown premium. Free self-parking sits close to the entrance, and the twelve-minute drive to Wake Forest's campus makes it workable for a game weekend without paying downtown rates (no pet policy confirmed, so travelers with animals should call ahead). Anyone weighing this stay against the rest of the winston salem lineup should factor in wake forest campus visits as the clearest use case here. That combination of outdoor pool for a summer swim and free self-parking near the entrance is really what separates this property from the rest of the list.
- Outdoor pool
- Buffet breakfast
- Free parking
- Near Highway 52
Our take
This suits highway travelers passing through the Piedmont and Wake Forest visitors who don't need a downtown address, since the twelve-minute drive to campus is a fair trade for free parking and a lower rate. Anyone wanting to walk to Old Salem or the Arts District should book downtown instead, since this property sits well outside that walking radius entirely.
- Confirm pet policy by phone before booking, since it isn't listed on this property's page
- Ask for a pool-view room if the outdoor pool matters more than a highway view
- Book the buffet breakfast option at check-in if it isn't already included in your rate

Why guests love itDoubleTree by Hilton Winston Salem - University sits off University Parkway near Highway 52, about twelve minutes' drive from Wake Forest University. For families, the outdoor pool, a buffet breakfast and free self-parking cover the basics. The building is older, with more character than new construction but a less polished feel, which the 7.8 score from 157 reviews seems to reflect. I would book it for a campus visit by car.
