Country Inn & Suites by Radisson, Winchester, VA

Lady at the front desk was awesome; professional, welcoming and helpful. The location was great as we could walk to a variety of eating establishments, but it was a bit noisy due to the proximity of the on ramp to the highway.

I stayed at the Country Inn and Suites for a week. I was not sure if my sister could join me so I booked as a solo traveler. This means safety was a priority. For me safety also means a walk-in shower. I was given the room closest to the front desk, handicap accessible. Actually, wheelchair accessible (which I did not need) and close to handicap parking. The staff was very friendly and helpful. I booked a king size bed. When my sister was able to join me for 3 nights, we decided to just arrange pillows (surely we slept in the same bed when we were kids!) To facilitate our own movements in the room we did not ask to have the room made up but only fresh towels. The cleaning staff might have thought we were nuts, but were very kind about it. By the end of my stay I had a sense that the front desk knew I was an older, solo traveler and kept an eye out for me. As a plus the location was close to I 81, but not at the nutty intersection of I 81 and I 66. There were: a McDonalds, Out Back Steak House, 7-11, Cabrerra's Italian Restaurant all within view of the front of the hotel. We were visiting yet another sister and getting to her house was easy, even on dark nights! [Also 2 gas stations.] I love STRONG coffee and brought my own. The coffee pot was a four cup cuisenart with a cone basket. Perfect! Breakfast was plentiful. It was typical hotel fare, but that never bothers me. Bagels, muffins, scrambled eggs, bacon or sausage, waffles, 3 different ways to have toast, juice, etc. So many choices.

Room was very clean and reasonably sized with attractive furnishings. Breakfast was very good - lots of choices, including fresh waffles from two available waffle makers. Friendly staff. Proximity to good restaurants, several within easy walking distance. Fresh coffee and cookies in lobby. Proximity to highways (but a two-edged sword, see below). Value was good.

Comfy bed, awesome pillows. Clean room and common areas. EVEN Elevator was clean wiped down & smellled clean. Hot showers, friendly staff. Good breakfast with multiple options. Good size room! Adjustable thermostat worked beautifully. Quiet for near 81. A tip... Turn thermostast to ON instead of automatic Position if u want white noise to help with traffic noise.fan helps with that. Cookies and coffee are available, too.

Easy off and on highway. Gas station/store, McDonald's, Outback within walking distance. Friendly staff, clean, breakfast not a variety like other of their hotels but ok. Wine and beer sold from cooler. Pool and weight room. Would recommend.
