“In Windsor, the hotel makes a strategic base, especially for those keen on peeking at the castle right from their rooms. I noticed this property balances its historic charm with modern upgrades, a blend that appeals without pretense. While dog-friendly perks stand out, I think its dining-particularly the Indian cuisine-is a genuine draw.”
