The hotel is ideally located near high-end shopping, museums, and fantastic dining options. The rooms, though spacious, had a lingering old cigarette smell that even opening the windows couldn't eliminate. Limited seating and cleanliness were drawbacks, but the staff was helpful and accommodating.

The Windsor Arms Hotel is a stunning place with incredibly comfortable beds and a huge marble bathroom featuring a wonderful shower and a big tub. It's perfect for families with the two queen beds we booked. The location is fantastic, nestled in the university area and just steps away from the vibrant Yorkville neighborhood. However, the breakfast experience fell short in quality, but the service was excellent and very accommodating.

The hotel seems to have its ups and downs. The rooms, though recently furnished for Sunday brunch, were not as spacious as expected. Service was a mixed bag with attentive moments but lacking attention to detail. The location was excellent for certain activities but came with noise concerns. The dining experience was a bit of a hit and miss. Overall, there are noticeable areas for improvement.
