The Holiday Inn - Winchester SE-Historic Gateway turned out to be a perfect and surprising sweet stopover. It was a long day's drive to get there but Marie greeted us with a big smile and wholeheartedly welcomed our kitty as well. :) It was a very nice Holiday Inn and the room was clean and relaxing. Breakfast was the ”icing on the cake” and it was because of Brandy who was our server. A terrific disposition and jovial personality on an early Monday morning. The food was delicious, as well. Clearly - an overall nice stay at this hotel and we highly recommend it.

The stay occurred over the Memorial Day weekend. I can't say enough about the lady that fixes the breakfast. It is amazing to see her detail to cleanliness and presentation, plus, she makes breakfast that is out of this world. I hope they never lose her! Saturday's breakfast was real scrabbled eggs, bacon and potatoes. Sunday's was scrabbled eggs, sausage, homemade biscuits and sausage gravy! Amazing! Monday, Memorial Day, was scrabbled eggs, rosemary potatoes (which were delicious), and bacon. I would pay to eat the breakfast she puts out. The coffee was hot, the juice bar was always full, and the waffle irons were ready for anyone who wanted a waffle. Thank you for paying attention to all those details. The hotel was clean and quiet!

This is an easy review to write. First , it's a condensation of two stays. One in December 2022 and the second in February 2023. The first stay was on an AAA discounted rate. The second was on my Choice Privleges points. This was my third time using Choice Privleges points. And, by far the best experience. My December stay found the lobby very nicely decorated for Christmas. Much appreciated. Even with the fake electric fireplace! On both occasions, I was promptly greeted and checked in. Both stays were on the third floor, facing the front of the building. (Odd numbers face that side with even numbers facing the rear. And, the rear faces I-81! Beware!) Each time, my suite was comfortable and well-furnished. Despite being winter in Virginia hill country, the heating was up to the task. Sleep quality was excellent. My December stay found me checking-out into a snowstorm! While the lot was untreated, it was manageable as I have 4X4 with snow tires on all four wheels. None of the VDOT/City streets or roads were treated -let alone plowed- for that matter. Each checkout was friendly and efficient. They seem to have good people here. The rate I was charged in December was a good value. The breakfasts were a standout in terms of qiuality. The only gripe I have is that they seem to be consistent with link sausage and scrambled eggs on Thursdays. Any chance of a change as there are those of us who have to travel on the same days of the week? Having the option of Choice Hotels' ”institutional” sausage gravy would also make for a nice option. Because of having family in the area, I travel frequently to Winchester. This hotel is now my first choce. (OK, bad pun! But, my last stay at what was my first choice was a disaster. And, it is a ”Choice” property.) There are no photos with ths review because there was nothing out of the way to photograph. And, this place is really no different from so many of the better Comfort Inn and Suites locations I've stayed at. The Choice Privliges preferred parking is set-up a bit strangely with a couple of ”head-in” spaces down the sidewalk from the lobby enrtrance, and two parallel spaces to the left of the entrance. In fact, there are ”public” spaces that are nearer to the entrance, if you can snag one of those. Summary: Strongest possible recommend.

The front desk employee was very polite & welcomed us immediately and got us checked in quickly. Hotel nice clean and quiet. The amenities were amazing especially our room with the jacuZzi tub. Breakfast was even delicious and fulfilling. We had an amazing time and definitely would come back to stay.

The people at the desk were very nice and so were the housekeepers. The hotel was being renovated, but there were still rooms available. I had an excellent room. Very clean with a nice size TV, refridgerator, microwave, coffeemaker, hairdryer, and you could keep it very cool if you wanted. Not like some other hotels where they control the temperature. The bed was very clean and comfortable. The housekeepers were excellent and my room was always fresh and clean, with everything I needed. You could get coffee and continental breakfast in the morning that was perfect for me. Since I am not a breakfast person. The facilities were closed, because of the renovations, but that was okay with me. I would stay there again, if I was in that area. Oh and lots of shopping and restaurants close by.

It was a very nice stay, Clean with very nice employees and excellent customer service

This hotel is great!!!!’ Had a couples weekend and all of our needs were met. Hotel was quite clean and staff very pleasant. Breakfast was ok could be a little better with more options. Staff was most excellent and happy to meet whatever need you may have and greet you with a smile.
