My stay at the Windsor Arms Hotel was mixed. The location is fantastic, situated just half a block off Bloor Street and close to the vibrant Yorkville neighborhood, but the room left much to be desired. It had a terrible old cigarette smell that lingered, which made for an uncomfortable experience. The facilities, including the service from staff, were friendly, but overall, it felt quite dated and overpriced for what was offered.
