A Stay at the Windsor Arms Hotel

G and I spent a let’s-celebrate-Valentine’s-Day-early weekend at the Windsor Arms Hotel. We have said for years we’d give it a try and its number came up Saturday. The Windsor Arms was built in 1927 and today, along with its (finally) improving Courtyard Cafe restaurant, offers 28 rooms for guests and a staff/client ratio of 6:1, which is probably the highest in the city … until the Ritz-Carlton arrives in a couple years time. The design was (yawn) bland and boring as is usual with anything done by Brian (aka “Boring) Gluckstein. He is SO over-rated!

We stayed in a deluxe suite on the fourth floor at the front of the building. It was a very nice stay and we were lucky to have both willariah and Blee come visit and enjoy the suite for a spell with us. G used the spa and would have used the workout room had I not done the packing! … oops, see what I did below.
