Pros

Historic waterfront trail directly across the street

Eight restaurants within 0.5 miles, including Sundried Tomato Bistro and Mira Middle Eastern

Complimentary coffee, tea, and newspapers in the lobby lounge

Cons

“This hotel's prime waterfront location is its strongest asset, providing easy access to downtown Windsor and attractive views. The inclusion of a full hot breakfast buffet and the indoor pool add value, though some aspects require attention. Overall, it's a reasonable choice for travelers seeking convenience and core amenities.”
