- "Very clean and central location for Windsor. The staff were very friendly, extremely accommodating especially Concierge for our car parking. Stress free for the two days we were here. Our room had all we needed, the bed was very comfortable, extra touches of bathrobes and slippers. Good choice at breakfast." - "We loved everything about this hotel, from start to finish. The staff were 100% customer service there was nothing nothing to much trouble for them. Even with the busy street outside, when sat in the lounge area it was so quiet. Only the bath was too high to get in and out off. We did mention it on the way home e the staff told us we should have . This is not saying we didn't like the bedroom assured us we would have been moved"
