We stayed here one weekend in October 2011. It was clean and in good shape. Minor problems on check-in -- front desk was understaffed, and there were a lot of people trying to check in, but a lot of rooms were not ready yet. Luckily, our room was ready for us. Otherwise, no issues. Parking and internet was free. Breakfast was nice, but not free (which is typical of Courtyards).

After a long illness, we could only afford one night's stay, and we chose this lovely hotel not too far from home -- especially because of the beautiful pool area with hot tub. Yay! Except it was about 95 degrees in the pool area. We asked that it be fixed, and two hours later, it still wasn't. The pool railing and edge is very slippery, and the step into the hot tub was about a 16 inch drop, too much for us older folks -- so our whole purpose of getting away to the hot tub was gone. I wish hotel folks could just once see the experience from the guest's point of view, because this is otherwise a very lovely hotel.

We're just about to checkout after spending 3 nights here. For a Courtyard it has a lot going for it. We chose a standard room because the suites are near the freeway and it's pretty noisy at that end of the hotel. At the far end it's much quieter. The rooms are very clean and the room is thoughtfully laid out. The bathrooms are more like standard Marriott hotel sized bathrooms. There's a useful little guest laundry on the 4th floor. The gym isn't great, very small with not much equipment, but the pool is bigger than a normal Courtyard one and was pretty popular. If you order breakfast a la carte rather than choosing the buffet, you won't regret it. The food is very nice indeed. This is a great hotel for touring around Civil War sites in the Shenandoah Valley as it's very central. There's a Walmart next door and a gas station over the road. Also there are a few malls in the area so there's no shortage of supplies. All in all, a good experience and we'll be back.

I am in Winchester, Va, several times a year for several nights at a time. I have been staying at the Holiday Inn Express, but this particular visit I tried the newer Courtyard by Marriott. What a refreshing change! The front desk staff person was very friendly, prompt, and helpful. The room was attractive and comfortable. There is no complimentary breakfast, but as I am the type to grab coffee and go anyway, I find an in-room coffee maker sufficient. Food is available on site. Walmart and restaurant options are a stone's throw away. Convenient access to the highway.
