The room was either freezing or sweltering. The breakfast buffet had no variety or healthy options besides some fruit. The restaurant was cold and uncomfortable for longer lingering dinners.

Our room did not come with a stocked bar, the shower towels were not in the room. Our water didn't get hot but our other friends who stayed in two separate rooms on different floors had steaming hot water? Overall it was a good experience. The views are great

The room was clean, staff is always friendly, this is our second time staying at this hotel. The view from the panoramic room is always beautiful. The hotel could use an update but that doesn’t stop us from staying there. Can’t wait for our next trip out to Windsor
