Fodor's Expert Review The Historic Brookstown Inn
200 Brookstown Ave., Winston-Salem, North Carolina, 27101, USA
No two rooms are the same in this historic, affordable, and very pleasant lodging, built within two former cotton mills dating to 1837. The interior, with its exposed rafters, high ceilings, and brick walls, retains its historic character. A "graffiti wall," where young female factory workers left their mark, has been carefully preserved. There's a wine and cheese reception in the breakfast room each evening, as well as cookies and milk before bed.
The Art-o-mat machine in the lobby is one of the first in the world. Artist Clark Whittington created the concept in Winston-Salem.
PROS
- historic setting is unique
- walking distance to Old Salem
- complimentary hot breakfast
CONS
- dated carpets in hallways
