The Winston is truly a hidden gem. The small hotel with limited rooms and contactless check in makes it feel exclusive. Marcy Rose was an exceptional host and ensured that we had everything we needed to make our stay enjoyable. We loved our stay and will definitely be back!

We have stayed at The Winston several times and we always love it. The rooms are big and clean and the property is perfectly situated in the center of town. This trip was even more special now that they brought on new Front end manager, who made our trip even more amazing. Marcy Rose was the difference this trip for sure!!!

Definitely would stay here again! Very clean room. Friendly staff. Only thing if you’re a light sleeper, you can hear everything, (literally EVERYTHING) around your room and your neighbors but it wasn’t an issue most nights I stayed. It was overall pretty quiet at night. Loved my stay there! Great location! Everything is walking distance and you don’t have to worry about parking. Highly recommend this hotel!
