We had 4 rooms booked as we had an event at Windsor Castle the next day. We had one car between the 4 rooms and were heavily dissuaded by your concierge not to use the hotels car park. We were parked at the garage at the back and kept being told how expensive the parking was and how we would be charged 2 days even though we wouldn’t have even been there 18 hours.. This caused us problems and to be late for our event that evening too. It was not a great start .

Clean room, quiet hotel at night. Staff excellent. Position was perfect for Windsor Castle, shopping and restaurants. My only gripe was a service charge on the bill for breakfast, which was ok but not fantastic. The only service was a pot of tea to the table. All else was buffet style. Even the used dishes weren’t cleared before we left.

The location was great! Staff was awesome...the room is dated, carpet old...but was tidy. Bathroom had some mildew around the shower drain. TV didn't provide a clear picture. I mentioned all this to the front desk when we checked out. I would stay here again, as issues are minor.

Air conditioning was great, housekeeping did a very good job. It’s so nice to have a kettle in the room to make tea in the morning. Breakfast was plentiful, but needs more fresh items like salad and fruit.
