Fairfield Inn & Suites by Marriott Winston-Salem Downtown
Five minutes from the Innovation Quarter with breakfast included
Winston-Salem, Winston-Salem
About this stay
On South Main Street downtown, this Fairfield Inn & Suites sits a five-minute walk from the Wake Forest Innovation Quarter's biotech offices and restaurants, a genuine convenience for business travelers with meetings in that corridor rather than a downtown tourist itinerary. Rooms include a refrigerator, microwave and coffee machine, and free breakfast is included in the rate, unlike several of the boutique downtown hotels that charge separately. The Winston-Salem Arts District sits about a kilometer away, walkable for an evening out, and on-site parking keeps costs lower than the valet-only properties nearby (family rooms are also available for a business trip extended into a weekend). Anyone weighing this stay against the rest of the winston salem lineup should factor in innovation quarter business trips as the clearest use case here.
- Free breakfast
- Fitness centre
- On-site parking
- Family-friendly
Our take
This suits Innovation Quarter business travelers and budget-conscious downtown visitors who want free breakfast and on-site parking without paying the full boutique-hotel premium. Anyone chasing historic architecture or a boutique feel should book Kimpton Cardinal or Hotel Indigo instead, since this property trades character for value and convenience. The five-minute walk to the innovation quarter sums up the appeal well.
- Book the free breakfast time slot early if traveling with a group during a busy period
- Ask for a room with a refrigerator and microwave if you're planning to eat in some nights
- Walk to the Arts District for dinner rather than driving, since it's about a kilometer away

Why guests love itThe five-minute walk to the Innovation Quarter meant no need for a rental car during a week of meetings there, a real convenience over the properties further out near Hanes Mall. Free breakfast each morning cut a real cost from the trip, and the in-room refrigerator meant leftovers from dinner didn't go to waste. The Arts District walk in the evening took about fifteen minutes but felt entirely manageable after a long day.
