Summit Point Accomodation

Any suggestions on where to stay at Summit Point?

I've stayed in Winchester, VA before. Looking at the Courtyard. Lots of other choices there, too. Looks like 15 miles to the track.

I always liked the Knight's Inn because it was cheap, clean, and you can watch the horse racing from your balcony.

I stayed at the Hampton Inn in Inwood last year. Its about 11 mile away but there are some restaurants and a supermarket right near there.

I don't have a recommendation, but I can say that you should avoid the Towne House Motor Lodge in Charles Town.

I stayed at the Knight's Inn when I did my SCCA school down there 5 years ago. It's a cheap dump but is walking distance to a Ruby Tuesday's for apres/dinner.

I've stayed at a lot of different places, Martinsburg is by far the easiest to get to (from I81 south) and has several hotels and big box stores (Lowes, Autozone) but is ~25 minutes from the track, Winchester VA is a nice (historic) town and has a mall but you have to drive further (south/west) to get there, Ronson and Charles Town are the closest but are sketchy and IMO have no decent hotels (excluding the B&B on Summit Pt road, their room rates will make you gag).

Inwood has a grocery store, auto parts and gas stations, if it has a Hampton Inn it must be relatively new or I would have stayed there, it is probably the best bet.

Just an fyi, a couple club racers had stuff stolen from their tow rigs while parked overnite in a hotel lot, in Winchester.

The Hampton Inn was 4 star for me last year.

Towne Place Suites in Winchester was fine last year. Restaurants & supermarket are close by, and the track is twenty minutes away.

After years of staying at the Knight Inn, I can't bring myself to return there. The cool kids (or so I heard) are staying on the other side of town (Winchester).

There's a Hampton Inn that I've stayed at before, and there is also a Marriott. Satellite pictures indicate that there is a lot of parking/grass/runoff at the Marriott, if you are worried about trailer parking. Neither the Knight's inn or the Hampton could fit a tow vehicle + trailer, if I recall correctly.

The brand new Hampton Inn in Charles Town, 157 Pimlico Dr. is nice. PLENTY OF PARKING
