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.

The room was very comfortable. Easy thermostat to control temps. The room was quiet but we were the last in the hall. Plenty of towels and the hand soap bar was exceptionally creamy and foamy. So many choices of tea for breakfast along with coffees, creamers and even hot chocolate. We arrived late but our location had many restaurants nearby if needed. A little complicated to find but easier to get back on interstate.

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.

We liked the room, the staff was also courteous and breakfast was fine. This was our third stay here and we have always enjoyed this facility.
