Wonderful

The room and bathroom were both spotless, the beds were comfortable and the shower was great. The staff was also friendly and helpful. We loved the hot chocolate bar in the lobby and all the gorgeous Christmas decorations. *I think the beds could really use a comforter/duvet/blanket though. There was no weight to the bedding and it felt like we were just sleeping under a sheet.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities
The room was excellent and the staff was extremely attentive. They reached out numerous times throughout my stay to ensure everything was perfect with my stay and offered assistance if I needed anything. Great guest service!
Historic property was charming. Bar & restaurant lively & delicious. Three wedding parties made for a noisy stay. Surrounding area was rowdy - would not feel comfortable walking the area at night. Parking was a challenge & valet service was understaffed.
We just stayed one night traveling to the coast. The check in was easy. They had valet parking. The bar/restaurant area was great. All staff we encountered were friendly and polite.
We had our 50th year West Forsyth High School Reunion there! From the time we parked on the street until we checked out everything was outstanding! The valet men were great, they were very helpful cause we had flowers and other items with us for the reunion. Check in was easy, she smiled, greeted us. The staff for the reunion who served our buffet were excellent. Their supervisor was very accommodating if we needed anything else!
Our room was great, very roomy and the beds were so comfortable! We ate breakfast at the Katherine Resturant the next morning. Great food and service!
If you are thinking of having a special event at the Kimpton’s, I highly recommend them!
They did a great job refurbishing the property, keeping the old character and charm while mixing in modern amenities. The facilities were very clean and the staff was very helpful.
The Kimpton is a beautiful, family-friendly hotel that has all the bells and whistles. My children were able to have their first "hotel experience" with additional benefits of the basketball court and bowling alley. We enjoyed our time. The staff was amazing, attentive, and kind. We will definitely return.
