This review is for the spa experience. We set up a couples spa day with Sunday brunch at the…read morebuffet before hand and we enjoyed it greatly. Greensboro has a lot of fine places to get a massage but is lacking in places with the full spa experience. Grandover turned out to be wonderful for a day of relaxation and treating ourselves. The staff were super friendly, the massage was amazing and just what I needed, and the facilities are really nice. They have a sauna, steam room, relaxation room, access to a gym and the pool, a free water, a pool bar, and a bit more. It's a great place to spend a few hours embracing relaxation. Although the price is a little high, you really do get a lot for the money. I will be back for sure.

We had a staycation to celebrate our anniversary at the Grandover. We told them that it was our…read moreanniversary when we booked and they surprised us with some locally made treats (chips and brownie crisps). It wasn't anything crazy but it was a nice little surprise! The hotel was giant. There's a lot of cool artwork and decorations that can keep you entertained as you walk through the hotel. The rooms were pretty clean and were a decent size, but again nothing too spectacular especially for the price. We also got a couples massage. I loved my deep tissue but my girlfriend's masseuse didn't really use as much pressure as she needed, so I guess it was a hit or miss experience. One thing that does seem a little shiest is how they charge for the massage. They tell you an upfront price (e.g. $140 each to deep tissue), but aren't as up front with the mandatory 20% tip. I don't mind tipping at all, but mandating a 20% tip (especially for an underwhelming experience) is a little absurd. It would be better if they just built it into the up front pricing instead of trying to sneak it in at the end.

I absolutely loved it here. The golf course is spectacular. On the first tee box I had to pause…read morefor a moment. The fairway is probably 60-70 feet below you and stretches out towards the tree line. The par 3 2nd comes back a little to your left, and then you see the third hole as it wraps around water just below. Absolutely stunning. It's a tough track and I would say is fun from every set of tees (black, blue, white, gold, and even the red tees). Water comes into play on about a dozen holes. Highlights are the first tee box/first hole (it's a reachable par 5), the third as it wraps around a pond, the second half of the par 5 5th hole, the eighth hole looks like it's on top of the world, the views from the 10th tee box, the thirteenth hole (a brute of a par 5), and some of the best par 4s in Virginia (holes 15, 16, and 18). I stayed in the smaller of the two lodges that overlook the 18th green. We had a suite with a master with a king and another room with two double beds. Lots of space, two bathrooms, a kitchen, and a porch. It was also the cleanest room I may have ever stayed in. Some of the nicest views were from the porch that included the storm that rolled through at night and the fog that followed in the morning. There is only one restaurant on property and the food was excellent. Love that the dessert menu was never fixed. I had an ice cream cookie sandwich that was excellent. The people here truly make this place special. Whoever cleaned our room deserves a raise. Bo (the head pro) and Sherrie in the pro shop are maybe the nicest people I have met playing golf, and that is saying something. The wait staff and grounds crew were all extremely nice as well. I know there is a 5-star resort down the road that I visited for a bit, but I would much rather be here every day of the week. (Not saying I wouldn't turn down a free stay and play at the other place.) Needless to say this is now on my list for places to have a relaxing weekend getaway filled with great golf.

We are a large group that came for a training, the "executive director" gave a seriously lack luster apology to our group in which she insinuated that those who experienced the issues may have brought the bugs, which was highly inappropriate and offensive given that the establishment has "an established protocol" and infeates in in-house machinery they use to "treat" the rooms. This is an established issue here and dont stay here or they will blame you too!

Right off the bat, I will state that my biggest annoyance was having to pay for parking. It's absurd; if you're already paying for the room, parking should be included. Otherwise, we had a great time. The room was way bigger than the average hotel room of the same amenities. It was clean and comfortable. Loved the convenience of the wristband for getting into the room and also paying (almost) everywhere on site. Dinner at the Lodge Wood Fired Grill was delicious, and our daughter loved being able to look out into the water park from there. Breakfast buffet at Loose Moose was a bit overpriced, but honestly delicious so it was whatever. Prices at restaurants honestly seem "fair", in terms of it being like an amusement park level place. I loved that you could pretty much go wherever you wanted with whatever food/drink you wanted. Some places can be nit-picky about those things, so this was refreshing. Overall, we will definitely return!

There are movies in Bailey Park, concerts on Liberty & 6th, Food Truck days, and Parades. One of my favorite things about W-S is the W-S nightly breeze. It is something you can count on all year long. In the summer, it is perfection! You can walk the streets for hours, meandering in/out of the shops and enjoying the bustle of the city. If you have not attended an event downtown Winston-Salem, you NEED TO GO! Once you go, you too will be hooked on the charm that is Winston-Salem! MOST SINCERELY!

I am always amused at the crap Yelpers will review. I have read reviews of "snow events", reviews…read moreof Yelp itself, and even the Supreme Court of the United States. Now one would think a review of the US Supreme Court would be about things like 1) Getting through security 2) Parking 3) How comfortable the seating was while listening to oral arguments 4) Vending machines. Do they have Coke products or shitty Pepsi? But no, they are more about political ideology. 1 star if you hate the Supreme Court make up or 5 star if you love it. Now who the hell cares? I don't give a shit! Give me a review that I can use. Now, what were we talking about? Oh yeah, a review of downtown Winston-Salem. Who the heck writes a review of downtown Winston-Salem, or any downtown for that matter? Now before you throw stones, I was not the first person do review of downtown. Another Yelper took the time to add downtown as a business on Yelp and write a review. I stumbled across it and decided to...what the hell..I'll check in. Now Yelp expects a review. So I will try to make this useful, but I know that NOBODY will ever search for downtown WS on Yelp. 1) Safety - Downtown WS is very safe. Like any city of its size, there is crime but trust me, you will be safe. Just use common sense. 2) Shops - We got lots of shopping downtown. Art shit, consignment shops, WS targeted shops, etc.. 3) Restaurants - Great selection. Perhaps could use some additional diversity but getting there. High end places, middle of the road and cheap eats. 4) Drinking - My specialty. Trust me on this, I am a professional drinker. Plenty of places to get a cocktail, beer (local brew) or wine. 5) Parking - Decent selection of parking garages as well as street parking for the parallel parking experts. Prices are great in comparison to Charlotte. 6) Pan Handlers - We got a few like every city but nothing on the scale of Charlotte or Nashville. Actually, this activity has decreased significantly over time. 7) Architecture and History - One of the things I love about downtown WS are the buildings. The old Reynolds building, Pepper building, Arts district, etc., etc. I love that WS has preserved much of its history. 8) Traffic - Not a big deal. This city is over 200 thousand but feels much smaller. Warning, just watch yourself while crossing the streets. Even though you have the right away, just make sure the cars are stopping for you. I love downtown WS. I have spent a lot of time and money here. It is the perfect size for me. Highly recommend coming and spending the day here.

The room was down right cold when we were seated - almost expected with all seats occupied. HVA/C was corrected as the parties departed. Our 4 top was the last to leave. Now onto our service - she was amazingly polite as she recognized we had not seen each other in nearly a year. Lots of news about our families, mutual friends and a few interesting neighborhood characters. Wine selections matched everyone's entree choice. Their French Onion soup was simply to die for, followed by a selection that ranged from a simple Fish & Chips, a crisp Cobb Salad, a flaky Chicken Pot Pie & aromatic Beef Bourguignon. All this was topped off with a warm double chocolate brownie smothered with a creamy French vanilla ice cream - thankfully the server figured correctly as she delivered this sumptuous treat with 4 spoons
