Green Valley Motel Winston - Salem

“Good low-budget sleep”

As others have noted, the motel and furnishings are old and worn. BUT, it was clean and quiet. I have stayed in a range of hotels and motels in the U.S. and Europe, from budget (my expense) to luxury (company expense).

As others have noted, the motel and furnishings are old and worn. BUT, it was clean and quiet. I have stayed in a range of hotels and motels in the U.S. and Europe, from budget (my expense) to luxury (company expense). I value a clean room way above the freshness of the flowers in the hallway. The night attendant (probably the owner) answered my call at the door promptly, and booked me in politely and efficiently. The TV, microwave, and fridge worked fine. The water was hot when I wanted it.

“Bargain price, decent accomodations but no wi-fi”

I stayed here one night in mid-January, 2015. Few rooms were occupied, and the price was reasonably cheap (45.50 including taxes). The room was on-par with most other cheaper/bargain rooms.

I stayed here one night in mid-January, 2015. Few rooms were occupied, and the price was reasonably cheap (45.50 including taxes). The room was on-par with most other cheaper/bargain rooms. Everything was clean, no pests, and I got a good night's rest. Note that if you want to take a shower, soap is provided but there is no shampoo/conditioner, so make sure you have your own. The room had a mini-fridge/microwave, but no alarm clock; make sure one of your devices does that, if you need it. The TV took a long time to initialize with whatever satellite system they are using; it worked fine once it got straightened out, but that took a good 10 minutes. As noted, this motel has no wi-fi for guests, and I didn't see any other wireless routers in the vicinity. Although this particular exit is relatively barren regarding motels/restaurants, it isn't far from some major shopping centers along US 52, and there may be other discount motels in the area that do. All other things being equal, I probably would not stay here again because of the lack of wireless, and instead I would try another motel a few miles in either direction on the highway. Other than that, all the other aspects of the room- cleanliness, everything works, quiet room- put this motel in the middle/upper range of what I usually encounter at older bargain motels.
