Great location comfy little hotel
Pros:

Great location

Cons:

Buffet English Breakfast isn't great and is constantly being replaced, so you may not get a plate of everything you want at once. a la carte the next day was better, however we were charged for that, whereas breakfast the first day was included. Not sure why this happened.

The weather made our visit disappointing (hot) and the dining facilities were disappointing.
Pros:

Air con. Room

Cons:

The staff could be friendlier. For example nobody offered to help with our bags which we had to carry ourselves. One or two found it hard to smile.

Pleasant stay in Windsor
Pros:

Great location in the heart of Windsor. Very friendly staff.

Cons:

Not so keen on my room - frosted glass and the blind didn’t go up all the way. Cleanliness in the bathroom could have been better. A personal pet hate are these machines at breakfast which you have to use to have tea, coffee etc. The tea was awful (water was tepid) but in fairness, when I mentioned this, I was provided with a pot of tea from the kitchen which was much better.
