What guests think

At Sleep Inn & Suites Winchester near University, reviews highlight a budget-friendly, convenient stop with generally friendly staff and comfortable beds, but recurring maintenance issues, dated interiors, and inconsistent cleanliness affect the overall experience, especially for longer stays.

The indoor pool is frequently closed or in disrepair, and some gym equipment and the elevator draw complaints. Breakfast is simple with waffles and microwave sandwiches, and selection can run low. Location near I-81, Costco, and restaurants is a common plus. Expect a no-frills stay with trade-offs between price and upkeep.

I specifically chose this hotel for the indoor pool. Upon arrival, we found that the pool was "out of order", something we were not told upon check-in.The two teenagers with us were very disappointed.

The staff was very kind and helpful. The women providing breakfast was very polite and on top of cleaning. The bed was comfortable. However the building is poorly maintained. Our room had an odor that they tried to cover up. There was something funny about the pool water and we saw a cockroach in the pool room. I will not stay there again.

The front desk staff was lovely tho not there when I arrived. The hotel is run down, gym equipment didn’t work, AC was not working except in the room, the breakfast had no vegetarian options - just gross sausage biscuits, and the kitchen staff person was awful. I asked her to turn the TV off and she refused at first. She then called a maintenance guy who attempted to intimidate me. I spoke to the front desk about it. My room had a hole in the bathroom door, there were roaches. GROSS

Old and gross hotel. Water stains on ceilings, stains on carpets, mold in bathtub. Bed was comfy though. If you’re traveling and want a cheap place to crash for the night, you can get by with this place. Anything longer than that, choose one of the many other hotels in this area.

At first we thought ok just a little dated. We got to our room and it appeared average and clean. Moments after checking in my husband stepped out to smoke. As he sat outside a rather large rat came within two feet of him at the door. He told the guy at the desk who seemed unbothered! Then my husband later asked for menus well unless you like Indian food forget it! Next morning we had already decided not to eat breakfast due to a rat but as we left there was a rat in the freaking second floor hallway near the elevator! I told the female at desk and she seemed to care! Definitely not worth the money!

The hotel was fine. Check in was easy and the bed was comfortable. The hotel is showing its age a bit. The a/c unit in my room was noisy and the toilet had a tendency to run, which was annoying. But overall for the price it was a decent stay.

I tried to check in at 3:35 but was told that check-in began at 4:00. The bathtub faucet dripped the entire time. The bathtub bottom looked as if it had never been scrubbed. Wallpaper in the bath was pealing off the wall. Piled up dirt in the corners of the bath at the baseboard tiles. The air conditioner makes a lout humming noise continuously. At least the bed was clean.

The hotel charged me $7.11 weeks after the fact. I called the hotel and they stated the check in representative forgot to charge me tax. I thought Expedia handled all charges? The hotel or Expedia should have advised me of the issue before charging my card. This is unacceptable!

Toilet flooded three times. The first time I was just given a plunger. The second time maintenance came and did nothing. The third time we were moved to a different room by a very rude staff member, who I also witnessed being rude to other guests. Both rooms had fruit flies. I probably won’t stay there again.

The outside of the hotel and the lobby are very nice looking. They might be attempting to renovate the rooms in the near future, so I will not remark. The management was very gracious, generous, kind, and understanding in honoring our request to cancel two out of three nights that were booked. We stayed one night before an important, all-day orientation, but the guests in the room adjacent to us woke us in the middle of the night with loud, ongoing, foul language and behavior; we were afraid that it would escalate. I called the front desk to address the situation, which they did promptly (the situation de-escalated when staff arrived). It was very difficult to fall asleep. I was shaky and exhausted the following morning, unfit for the day's events; one more night like that and I wouldn't be able to make the 8-hour drive home. They graciously honored our request to cancel the next 2 nights.

Appreciated the fridge, but it did not have a freezer section so could not refreeze our ice packs. I would stay here again !

They had clean facilities and their breakfast bar!!! I can't get over the fresh waffles!!! So delicious. Such a nice staff and a great place to stay. I wanna go back there Everytime!
