Disappointing breakfast

The hotel is very nice, if not old, the staff is friendly, and it's convenient to many things in Winston Salem. The breakfast though was inadequate and not tasty. I booked her because it's a bed and breakfast and it was highly disappointing.

This is a 123 year old property, so naturally doors didn't fit perfect, etc. But this was once of the greatest nights I spent. The staff was a joy, and to find out that the owner of the house was the nephew of the founder of my hometown in Virginia was priceless. I will be back.

Shaffner Inn is great!!

Chose the inn as a stay for a quick girls trip and it did Not disappoint! Shane, the innkeeper, was very communicative and helpful. We stayed in the Twin Pines room. It was so comfortable and well appointed for our needs. Breakfast was delicious! The inn was empty so we got to explore a bit and we are definitely coming back. The only thing i wish was a full-length mirror in the room

What a disappointment The Shaffner Inn was. The room we had reserved, the Piedmont Suite, was spacious and at first entrance was impressive. Sadly, we found the floor needed vacuuming, the ladies dressing table mirror was so dusty, you could write your name on it. Two lamps on either side of the couch didn’t have lightbulbs in them. Ironically, there was a big extension cord, that could be easily tripped on running across the floor to these two non-working lamps. The TV was not connected to anything and we had to use the inn’s WiFi to watch a movie on our laptop. We called the “emergency number” about the non-working TV and the voice mail message said they would quickly respond, but from our 7pm call, to the following morning, NO ONE CALLED. The toilet seat in the bathroom was loose and there was no body soap in the dispenser in the shower. The mattress in the king size bed was hard and VERY uncomfortable. The morning breakfast consisted of strawberries and blueberries, plain bagels, little pastries, boxed oatmeal, orange juice, coffee and water. Our reservation (see pictures) said we would receive a hot breakfast, but we were told at check-in that they said they gave their chef the day off and we would be receiving a light continental breakfast instead. No one even asked how our stay was as we were leaving. None of these deficiencies were reflected in the rather high price for the room.
