Spark by Hilton Winston-Salem University
Free parking and an indoor pool a few minutes from Wake Forest
Winston-Salem, Winston-Salem
About this stay
Set back from University Parkway with free self-parking right by the door, Spark by Hilton keeps the logistics simple for anyone driving in for a Wake Forest game or a highway overnight. Rooms run modern and unfussy, with flat-screen TVs and a bagel bar each morning rather than a full breakfast service. The indoor pool and fitness centre cover a rainy-day swim or a workout without leaving the building, and the smoke-free, pet-friendly policy means a dog can come along without extra hunting for a place to stay nearby (free parking a few steps from the side entrance makes unloading simple). Anyone weighing this stay against the rest of the winston salem lineup should factor in budget highway stops as the clearest use case here.

Our take
This suits travelers who want a low-cost, no-fuss stop close to Wake Forest's campus rather than a downtown experience. Families driving in for a game weekend and pet owners on a budget will get the most from the free parking and indoor pool. Anyone wanting walkable restaurants or a boutique feel should book downtown instead, since this property sits firmly in highway-stop territory.
- Ask for a room away from University Parkway if traffic noise bothers you at night
- Bring your own coffee if the bagel bar breakfast doesn't cover your morning routine
- Confirm the pet fee by phone, since it isn't listed on the booking page

Why guests love itThe room ran small for the price of a suite elsewhere, but the free parking lot sat right outside and the indoor pool kept two kids busy for an hour before dinner. The bagel bar covered breakfast well enough for a one-night stop, though it fell short of a full hot breakfast. For a highway overnight before a Wake Forest game, it did exactly what was needed without any surprises at check-in.
